It's a lovely nonfiction account of St. Augustine during it's heyday in the 20's. Some of the sites showcased are the beautiful hotels, historic homes, and historical sites. Since the book features vintage postcards with photos of the sites, I loved seeing how the Lightner Museum, Flagler College, and the fort looked nearly 100 years ago.

The 1920s was a time of unprecedented growth in the nation's oldest city. Fueled by a land boom that began in South Florida, St. Augustine was inundated with land speculators and new subdivisions, many only supported by a wing and a prayer. The city floated a million-dollar bond issue to construct the Bridge of Lions, and D.P. Davis filled in an entire marshland to build his magnificent subdivision of Davis Shores. When a new coastal highway linked the town with beached to the north and south and opened up St. Augustine's beautiful shoreline for development, tourists began flocking to the city in droves. All of this activity halted, however, when the land boom collapsed in the late 1920s, along with rest of the U.S. economy at that time. St. Augustine in the Roaring Twenties details the roller-coaster events of the city in this exciting decade. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
