Time Period

1887?

Abstract

Sutherland (now called Palm Harbor), Fla. as seen from Sutherland Bayou. The San Marino Hotel is in the background. A view along the route of the Plant System of Railways. The photo is taken from Sutherland Bayou or dry land at the base of what is now Alternate 19 (before the railroad arrived). By research, the San Marino burned before Peter Demens' Orange Belt came to West Hillsborough in 1887, meaning that some of the Stokes images most certainly pre-dated the arrival of the Orange Belt and were not from as late as the mid-1890s, as was once thought.
