filtered sunlight fall on Belle Haven Cottage, built in the early 1920's. " Built originally as a fish packing plant,it was used as a bait shop and rental cottage before its piers, riddle (sic) with worms, deposited it into Tampa Bay in 1926. Purchased by Lyman Christy and his wife for $125, it was then barged around the point to 109 Palmetto Ave. where it served as their home for 50 years and a rental cottage thereafter. The property was purchased in 2000 by a couple wanting the land, but not the home. They offered it to AMIHS (Anna Maria Island Historical Society) for free and the drive was on to save it from demolition. After the society and the three island cities raised more than $8,000, the cottage was moved to the historic park complex on Nov. 17th, 2001. People from the business community, AMIHS, Island residents and concerned visitors generously gave time, money and professional expertise. The cottage was lovingly restored in 2006 and now sits on the banks of Lake LaVIsta canal just steps away from the City Pier and its original home on Tampa Bay." .. this was taken from a brochure at Belle Haven .. more information can be found here: www.AMIHS.org ^SOOC .. if you visit the Island, be sure to go by and see this Historic Cottage on Pine Ave. and the rest of the complex.

.. linking to previous photo of lines in Another Link in the Chain -- Park Trammell Building .. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Park_Trammell www.lakelandgov.net/libraryspecialcollections/Photographs... - both links above give more info on this building, now being used as the Chamber of Commerce - built in the early 1920s .. during the boom time of erecting many structures here (this was used as a Library .. gorgeous wood floors that creaked as one searched for a book) - this is putting me on a journey to find those buildings in existence and where they are - some, like the Riggins home originally built on Lake Morton, were moved - the "land under the home was sold" - haven't been able to find out why that was the case - this will not be a quick journey - but, document it --- that I shall do to the best of my ablility ! © All rights reserved
