Allendale Terrace



These adobe-style structures are on 38th Avenue N, between Haines Road and MLK Street. The avenue runs through the Allendale Terrace neighborhood, a high-ground section of St. Petersburg with large estate homes built in the 1920s and 1930s.

Bonus Fun Fact: the link above to the city's website reveals that before the currently-named Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street N was Ninth Street, it was known as "Euclid Boulevard".

Spanish Point, Set Two

A second set of photos taken in March at
Historic Spanish Point in Osprey

First set of posts here.



The Guptill House, a Florida pioneer-era home built in 1901. The house is built on a prehistoric archaic midden, the oldest one at Spanish Point. The midden, which is composed of shellfish, shell tools, pottery, and early artifacts, dates back to 3000 BC.



The boat yard.



Interior boat yard.



An replica of the sharpie sailboat, a flat-bottomed boat, built to navigate shallow bays. The boats were used during Florida's pioneer era to transport people and goods along the coast. It's worth pointing out from the Spanish Point brochure that the sharpie replica (foreground) was built by volunteers there using traditional tools, techniques, and materials.




Ferns on an aqueduct.

Sporty


This shirt with a delightful automobile grill motif
was spotted at the Gandy Goodwill.
I daresay, had it not been an XXL, I would have snapped this one up.

Spanish Point, Set One

Historic Spanish Point in Osprey, an outdoor museum combining archeology, pioneer history, and nature walk along Little Sarasota Bay...




...small ferns grow from the trunk of a tree leaning in front of one the pioneer cottages...




...a view looking up at the pergola in the Sunken Garden...




...and at the foot of the Sunken Garden...




...a storage area? -- concrete built into a hillside that looked like a bunker...




...fishing on Little Sarasota Bay...
