"Greetings from DeFuniak Sp. Fla"

  • Dave C. said:
    This certainly doesn't seem like it's from 1920. The picture appears to be a color (not colorized) photo, and the writing style looks like it's from the 1950s or even 1960s

    Dave C. Copy/paste error on my end - thanks for catching!
  • Randy W said:
    I've been to DeFuniak Springs MANY times, I have family in that area of the state.

    just a hop & a skip from my pad in Arcadia (Milton). I love DeFuniak.

Fair De Land

  • Florida Memory said:
    Poem reads: "Why will folks their winters spend Where ice and snow never end. While in De Land the warm sun shines, And zephyrs whisper in the pines? Oh fair city of De Land, In this lovely spot I take my stand, Here every charm of nature lies, A symbol of God's Paradise. Beneath a sky of azure hue, Where sunshine greets the whole year through, With fruit and flowers on every hand, Al these you'll find in Fair De Land. The evening bells of Stetson 'U', That greet the stars and falling dew, What sweeter chimes you'll find than these To float upon a Southern breeze? Her spires of many churches tell That God's children love Him well, Schools, homes, kind friends and love abound To greet the stranger on his round. So meet me here in Fair De Land, And then you, too, will take your stand, And say here is Earth's Paradise-- That here her choicest treasure lies. W.G.S. Lowe"

"Sea Wall and South Beach Bridge Across Matanzas River, St. Augustine, Fla."

  • Florida Memory said:
    Built in 1895 and renovated in 1904 to accommodate trolleys, this bridge preceded the Bridge of Lions (completed 1927).
