Produktbeschreibung
This book introduces three tours that reveal the history of Palm Beach through its buildings. The tours are in chronological order and have historical photos from the Historical Society of Palm Beach County. The first tour is a drive that shows you the history of Palm Beach from the Pioneer Era to today, going 10 miles from the Lake Worth Inlet to Phipps Ocean Park. You can also take three optional walks on the way. The second tour is a bike ride that goes along Lake Trail, the first road on the east side of Lake Worth before Henry Flagler came and built his hotels and other projects in the 1890s. The tour is five miles long and lets you see the Pioneer Era of Palm Beach. The third tour is a walk that goes through the midtown business area between Royal Palm Way and Worth Avenue, also called the Royal Park Addition. This area was the core of Palm Beach during the 1920s boom. The three tours share many places, but the drive is the most thorough of them all. The tours are a fun way to learn about the rich history of Palm Beach and see its architectural beauty.
Autorenporträt
The Historical Society of Palm Beach County: After the Historical Society of Palm Beach County was formed in 1937, West Palm Beach attorney A. Stanley Bussey donated a vintage black-and-white photograph of an island street scene to the new organization, the first gift to what would become a remarkable collection of artifacts and documents representing the cultures and communities, failures and successes of life in Palm Beach County. Russell Kelley: Born in Palm Beach, Russell Kelley returned to his hometown after a career spent living abroad. The changes in Palm Beach ignited his desire to learn how his hometown evolved from the sleepy town of his youth into the sophisticated resort of today. This curiosity led to his research with the Historical Society of Palm Beach County resulting in an Illustrated History of Palm Beach.
