Title Thomas Building Alternative Title Thomas Building Subject Orlando (Fla.) Description The Thomas building was an architectural arcade, which included several stores. The building was located at the intersection of Church Street and Magnolia Avenue, with a street address of 100 East Church Street in Downtown Orlando, Florida. Magnolia was previously Main Street until the mid-1900s. Most of the block was occupied with small shops, such as Cervantes Spanish Restaurant, Family Loan Company, Roger Reality Company, and other shops. Slightly larger businesses such as the Astor Hotel, later the Bass Hotel, also existed on the block. The building was torn down and a new building was constructed in the late 1950s and demolished in the early 1960s. The Thomas Building was also sometimes referred to as the Church and Main Arcade. This lot, as well as the rest of the block, was later replaced by the CNA Tower and Barnett Plaza.

Bass, City Father WHEN WALTER C. Bass came to Orlando in 1932 the number of people in town would not have filled an expanded Tangerine Bowl. But to Mr. Bass, who was born and reared in Kissimmee, Orlando's 30,000 citizens represented a city and he set about becoming a part of it. He worked in a meat market until he opened his own grocery store on the corner of South Street and Delaney Avenue. He bought the Astor Hotel which later became the Bass Hotel and which thrived until it was demolished to make room for the towering CNA building. And as the years went by he became affiliated with most of Orlando's civic organizations, working tirelessly for Ben White Raceway, Fairview Park, and the Central Florida Fair. His most notable contribution to his adopted city, however, came during the three year period from 1951-1953 when he served as a city commissioner. Mr. Bass missed only one meeting during his term of office and had a share in laying a foundation for the progress that was to come. As the city grew Mr. Bass liked to reminisce about his youth in Kissimmee and the days when he and his father hunted their foraging crows between Kenansville and New Smyrna Beach. He was a pioneer who never outgrew his love of the land yet never resented the changes brought by growth. And he gave of himself unselfishly to make the growth benefit all. Walter Bass was a city father to the truest sense of the world.

Title City Cab Company Taxi Service and the American Fire and Casualty Company Alternative Title City Cab Co. & American Fire & Casualty Co. Subject Orlando (Fla.) Taxis (Vehicles) Tires--United States Insurance--Florida Description This photograph shows three businesses located on South Orange Avenue in Downtown Orlando, Florida, sometime between 1941 and 1946: City Cab Company Taxi Service, Kelly's Tires, and the American Fire and Casualty Company. City Cab Co. was founded by Napoleon B. Broward as early as 1941. Broward left the company in 1943 and was replaced by the company's secretary treasurer, Paul Mears. Later renamed Mears Transportation, it became one of the largest taxicab companies in Orlando and still operates today. The Exchange Building, pictured in the distance, was home to American Fire, an Ohio-based insurance corporation that had offices in the top two floors of the building for 18 years. In 1946, the insurance company bought the building and renamed it the American Building. These lots, as well as the rest of the block, were later replaced by the CNA Tower and Barnett Plaza.
