Tim Gilmore Book Launch – When We Tried to Save the Castle

Tim Gilmore’s 25^th book, When We Tried to Save the Castle, with a foreword by Wayne Wood, is the story of the vast tapestry of life and lives that moved through a house called the Lomax Castle in Jacksonville’s Five Points District. It’s the story of a man who tried to take it apart, piece by piece, to save it. It’s the story of immigrants and spies, love and suicide, herpetologists and hippies and rock n roll. It’s the story of the historic preservation movement, of how we measure history. It’s the story of story itself and how we mark time.
