former Firestone
Orlando, FL
The former Firestone was designed by Francis J. Kennard & Sons and built from 1928-1929. It operated as a Firestone Tire store until 1977. The building features an Italianate belltower. It was occupied by the Club Firestone nightclub since the early 1990s until 2014. The building housed Venue 578 after that. It now houses The Vanguard. [map]

This Firestone has a similar design to the one in Pensacola above. This photo is from 2005. I believe this building was on Orange Blossom Trail. It was demolished for a Walgreens.
