Florida State Law in 1948 required new school buildings be placed on lots not less than ten acres in size. As the existing lot was not large enough, a property search began and the present day site on Mill Street was chosen. A $50,000 school was erected during the winter and summers of 1948 and 1949. In 1950, an auditorium was completed. At that time the school enrollment was 365. In 1964, a Music Suite was added.
In 1967 Baldwin became the first Duval County School to be integrated. In April 1975, Community Education came to Baldwin under the direction of Mr. Michael Minton.
The First Baptist Church of Baldwin was built in 1904 as a small frame building on two lots deeded to the church by Mr. and Mrs. D.J. Parish at 97 Center Street.
