dc.description.note	Newspaper clippings include articles about the Pine Park Community Center, a building that was located near the Pine Park Baptist Church. The community center was built in 1898 and was home to the Ward-White Universalist Church. The Universalist Church continued to function for a few years following the death of D.P. Ward in 1938. In 1945, the Universalist Church deeded the building to Mamie Ward, who signed an agreement for the building to be used as a 4-H Club House. In the summer of 2004, the building was moved to Florida Baptist College (now Baptist University of Florida) in Graceville Florida as part of a collection of historical churches and houses called "Heritage Village." In June 2024, The Graceville News posted multiple articles regarding the demolition of Heritage Village. Heritage Village had been a project of past university president, Dr. Thomas Kinchen. Dr. Clayton Cloer, the university president in June 2024, spoke to Graceville news and stated that there were plans to demolish most of the buildings, but there was no timeline for demolition.
