Winter Park, FL - A Historical Review Using Postcards (Paperback)

This COLOR book documents the history of Winter Park, Florida - using postcards. The author's collection spans from the early 1900s to 1970s from B&W to color postcards. Combined by topic, the reader will understand the changes that occurred during these time-periods. In addition, the older cards document long-lost images from over a century ago. Postcards document hotel, businesses, personal homes, parks, tourist interests, lakes, etc. In addition, the author researched the history of these items to provide insight to their beginning and ending. This book includes a number of motels along 17-92 as well as small restaurants. Not just old items, but even what appear to be more modern - but already long gone - such as the Winter Park Mall. A detailed index is provided. Plats from Orange County deed records document Lake View, Fl, then Town of Osceola, finally Winter Park.
