Looking east on the intersection of Central Ave. and 5th Street in Downtown St. Petersburg. In the foreground is the historic Kress Building and in the background on the left side of Central Ave. you can see the Snell Arcade building. Both buildings are still standing today.
I'm back from a very long hiatus. I'm hoping to begin posting regularly again with more variety and even better posts. Thanks for reading! -Anthony
According to an article from the Tampa Bay Times: "Chuck Prather bought the Mansion by the Bay late last month for $2 million, property records show, with plans to restore it as an annex half a block from his boutique Beach Drive hotel." Prather is owner of the newly opened Birchwood Inn on Beach Drive. According to the article Prather will use the Mansion by the Way house for parking, storage, and an office.
The Silhouette Condos were suppose to be built on this site but developer Lee Allen said the offer was "too sweet to pass up". Across the street from the now dead Silhouette Condos is where JMC Development is planning to build Rowland Place.
From the Tampa Bay Times-
"Downtown St. Petersburg seems to have grown a forest of construction cranes in the past few weeks. Several large projects are rising on what were once vacant lots or parking lots. All of the projects, which are in various stages of building, will be rentals and are scheduled for completion later this year or in 2014. Photographer Chris Zuppa took these aerial photos on June 29 to show progress on each."
