Chesapeake Sea Food House Postcard
Subject

Restaurants--Florida
Description
A postcard depicting the exterior of Chesapeake Sea Food House, a restaurant on the way to the Hialeah Race Track and the Miami International Airport. The restaurant was owned and operated by the former owners of the Maryland Resort Hotel, but is no longer in operation. The restaurant was bought out by the New England Oyster House chain, which continued to use the same name. In the 1960s or 1970s, the Chesapeake Sea Food House went out of business.<br /><br />This postcard is part of a collection of postcards kept by Lucile Campbell, a schoolteacher in Sanford, Florida, for 30 years. In 1931, she took advantage of a special rate for teachers and sailed to Europe, where she traveled for several months and is thought to have acquired many of these postcards. During the 1940-1941 school year, Campbell taught at Sanford Grammar School. Before her retirement in 1970, she taught at many other area schools, including the Oviedo School, Westside Grammar School, and Pinecrest Elementary School. Campbell used these postcards as aids in her classrooms to teach advanced subjects, such as Shakespearean drama. The collection, along with her other teaching aids, papers, and photographs, was later found at Sanford Grammar School after it became the University of Central Florida's Public History Center. Campbell's postcard collection and photographs provide insight into the life of a respected Florida educator.

Hialeah Racetrack (Hialeah, Fla.)
Horse racing--Florida
Description
A postcard depicting the new clubhouse at Hialeah Park Racing and Casino, located at 2200 East 4th Avenue in Hialeah, Florida. The race track was originally established by Glenn Curtiss (1878-1930) and James H. Bright for greyhound racing in 1922 and was used called the Miami Kennel Club. In 1930, after being several damaged by the Great Miami Hurricane of 1926, the track was sold to Joseph E. Widener (1871-1943), who opened a renovated track with new clubhouses, under the name Hialeah Park, on January 14, 1932. On March 2, 1979, the race track was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, and on January 12, 1988, the site became eligible for designation as a National Historic Landmark. In 2001, Hialeah Park stopped hosting races and closed the park to the public due to state law that decreased the race track's ability to compete with nearby courses. The park's stables were demolished in 2007. The race track reopened on November 28, 2009, several months after the state legislature and the Seminole Tribe of Florida came to an agreement allowing Hialeah Park to operate slot machines and to hold Quarter Horse races. <br /><br />This postcard is part of a collection of postcards kept by Lucile Campbell, a schoolteacher in Sanford, Florida, for 30 years. In 1931, she took advantage of a special rate for teachers and sailed to Europe, where she traveled for several months and is thought to have acquired many of these postcards.
