Description
Historic artifacts from an exhibit created by Orlando Remembered at the Downtown Orlando Information Center, located at 201 South Orange Avenue in Downtown Orlando, Florida. The Orlando Remembered Committee of the Historical Society of Central Florida, Inc. was created to "showcase artistic renderings of the time depicted, with artifacts and historical memorabilia from the location in an effort to preserve the memory of Orlando's history while acknowledging the potential of the City's future." This exhibit features the history of the block surrounded by South Orange Avenue, East Church Street, South Magnolia Avenue (formerly South Main Street), and East Jackson Street, particularly in the 1940s and 1950s. In the early 1960s, the buildings within the block were demolished and replaced by the Barnett Plaza and CNA Tower in 1952. The lot now includes the Downtown Orlando Information Center and the BB&T Bank building.

Walter C. 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.
