I usually prefer not to repeat myself, but in this case, I’m going to make an exception. Yes, I’ve done posts in the past about the amazing new
Dali museum (click on this link if you’d like to check any of them out). But it keeps getting more and more amazing looking, and I just couldn’t [...]

I first posted on the Crislip Arcade back in August of last year. It’s worth a quick look at that post, so that you can compare the entryway to the arcade at that time to the new entryway. It used to have a very boring and stark opening at the bottom, and some old windows [...] I’ve driven past this little apartment unit on 8th Street North hundreds of times, and it never fails to catch my eye. What could be a very unremarkable 1939 four-plex is, instead, a little gem in an area of otherwise ordinary buildings. It reminds me of a little story that we read in elementary school called, [...] Who could imagine that a law school could look this beautiful? The Stetson campus is located in Gulfport, in the south/west end of St. Petersburg. This beautiful campus actually started out as the Rolyat Hotel. It was built in 1925 for developer Frank Taylor (yes, the very odd hotel name is just his last name, spelled [...] This photograph was taken from the sidewalk along Coffee Pot Bayou, shooting towards the southern corner of Snell Isle. The gorgeous home that you see was built by Perry Snell in the 1920’s, his fifth of six St. Petersburg homes. In 1939, the property was purchased by Wally Bishop, a famous cartoonist who produced the [...] Some of the most beautiful buildings in St. Petersburg are places of worship. Up to now, I have avoided posting photographs of any of them, because I didn’t want it to appear as though I was biased either in favor of or against any particular religion. But as time goes on and I see more [...] This is a tale of two houses. Both houses share the same address – 2408 Brevard Road Northeast. That’s located in Granada Terrace, a beautiful area of St. Petersburg that lies between Coffee Pot Boulevard NE and First Street NE and between 22nd Avenue NE and 25th Avenue NE. It was developed by Perry Snell, of Snell Isle [...] Post Card of Open Air Post Office (click on picture for larger image) St. Petersburg has a very unique and beautiful post office in the heart of downtown. It’s known as the Open Air Post Office because, as you can see in this late 1940’s or early 1950’s era postcard, the main areas of the [...] Okay, lest you think I’m crazy, my post title today was actually the slogan for the Studebaker Motor Company in 1947. Studebaker started in 1857, when they produced their very first carriage. Over time, and as technology progressed, Studebaker became a major auto manufacturer in the United States, but they pretty much went away after the [...] St. Petersburg is a city of many neighborhoods, and some of those neighborhoods have areas of truly unique and beautiful homes. I posted a photograph of a Craftsman style bungalow in the Kenwood neighborhood last month, so that you might feel the flavor of that neighborhood. Today, I’m posting a photo of a gorgeous Colonial Revival [...] |
