The '''L&N Marine Terminal Building''' is a two-story structure at 207 East [[Main Street]], at the corner of [[Barracks Street]], adjacent to [[Bartram Park]].
[[Image:LNMarineTerminal.jpg|thumb|left|150px|A historical photo of the Marine Terminal in use]]The building was constructed in [[1902]] at the [[Commendencia Street Wharf]] and , its design inspired by [[Rafford Hall]]. It served as a major terminus for the [[Louisville & Nashville Railroad]]'s lumber and coal export trade between the time of its construction and [[World War II]] and became the [[Port Authority]] office in [[1959]].
In [[1972]], the building was disassembled by [[Theophilus MayeTheophalis May]] and moved to its current location on Main Street. On [[August 14]] of the same year, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its significance to the transportation industry and to maritime history.
It was occupied by [[Quenby Mitchell]]'s [[Secondhand Rose]] consignment boutique for many years until damage from [[Hurricane Ivan]] in [[2004]] forced the business to close. After extensive renovations in 2006, it reopened as the coordinating center of the [[Florida Public Archaeology Network]].
