Was about to say Jacksonville, but the building isn't there anymore, or has been massively renovated.

Looks like the Windsor Hotel in Jacksonville. Good catch.
Pretty building.

Well that's a shame.

Based on a quick internet search, looks like it was rebuilt after the fire and then torn down in 1950 to make room for a parking lot....which is a frustrating end for a pretty building like that.
Not sure if the photo in the OP is the rebuilt version or the original.

It apparently had a treasure trove of illegal whiskey hidden in a subterranean room that was found during the demolition.

was just about to post this. I think the photo in the OP is of the rebuilt one.

Good grief, it looks like London after the bombing runs.
That must have been one hell of a fire.

If there were a car or something in the photo, we might be able to narrow it down to they year. I know the OP didn't ask for the date but the OT is a powerful enough resource to provide a reasonable estimate.

This appears to be the Winsdor on a postcard in the 1930s. I think it's safe to say that the one in the OP is the rebuilt one.
and this is a postcard from 1903:
It doesn't say that they built an exact replica of the one that burnt down and I'm sure they wouldn't have wanted to anyway. I'm 99% certain OP's post is the rebuilt one.
