Lot Description

Lot of 43 albumen photographs on boudoir card mounts (8 x 5 in.), showing Winter Park, FL, and the surrounding area in the mid-to-late 1880s. Includes views of the main streets, residences, a view of some of the first buildings at Rollins College (Pinehurst Cottage and Knowles Hall), Lake Virginia, Lake Osceola, citrus orchards, the residences of Major Abercrombie, Dr. Tantum, Honorable Lewis Lawrence, and more.

Winter Park was one of Florida's first planned communities, planned and developed by Northerners Loring Augustus Chase and Oliver E. Chapman in the early 1880s when a South Florida Railroad line was laid connecting Orlando and Sanford. They enacted strict guidelines regarding architectural style and advertised the community in the Northeast and East Coast, eventually leading to one of the first of many real estate bubbles in the state. Rollins College was founded in Winter Park in 1885, and although Florida State and the University of Florida trace their roots to seminaries founded before that, Rollins still regards itself as the oldest four-year college in Florida.
