Description
Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of Geneva, Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around.
Geneva is a community in Seminole County. The area was originally inhabited by the Timucuan tribe as early as 2000 B.C.E. Between 1765 and 1766, John and William Bartram explored the St. John's River including the area that would become Geneva, which was inhabited at the time by the Seminole tribe formed in the 1760s. New settlers arrived and settled in Harney Cove during the 1843-1845 period. Harney Cove was renamed Geneva in 1880.

Description
This undated newspaper clipping advertises an "Appreciation Day Sunday" held by the Sanford Chamber of Commerce and the Concerned Citizens Committee for Dr. George H. Starke (1898-1978). The Chamber of Commerce hung a banner over First Street in Downtown Sanford, Florida, in Dr. Starke's honor. The event was held at the Sanford Civic Center, located at 401 East Seminole Boulevard.<br /><br />Dr. Starke was a practicing medical doctor who opened his practice in Sanford, Florida, on September 15, 1927. Shortly thereafter, Dr. Starke became one of only four African-American physicians to be accepted by Harvard University for residency at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. He practiced for several years in Boston and then returned to Sanford in 1933 and continued to practice medicine until his death at age 80. For many years, Dr. Starke was the only African-American doctor in Sanford. Dr. Starke was also the first African-American doctor to acquire membership in the Florida Medical Association and the Seminole County Medical Association, as well as the second to join the American Medical Association. In 1971, the City of Sanford named George Starke Park, located at 1501 West Third Street, in his honor.

Description
Newspaper article about the Seminole High School reunion held on June 1, 1991. The reunion was held at Sanford Middle School, which was the former building for the high school at 1700 French Avenue in Sanford, Florida.<br /><br />Originally located at 301 West Seventh Street in Sanford, Florida, Seminole High School was first established as Sanford High School in 1902. The building was designed by W. G. Talley in the Romanesque revival style. Due to an increasing student population, a new school building was constructed on Sanford Avenue in 1911. The original building on Seventh Street served as Westside Grammar Elementary School, which was later renamed Sanford Grammar School. In 1984, the building was placed on the National Registry of Historic Places and converted into the Student Museum. The building reopened as the University of Central Florida's Public History Center in 2012. In 1927, a high school campus was designed by Elton J. Moughton in the Mediterranean revival style and constructed at 1700 French Avenue. The school reopened on January 10 and was renamed Seminole High School. In 1960, the high school moved to a new campus at 2701 Ridgewood Avenue and the former building on French Avenue was converted to Sanford Junior High School, which was later renamed Sanford Middle School. The old building was demolished in the summer of 1991 and replaced by a $5.77 million school complex. As of 2013, Seminole High School offers various Advanced Placement courses, the Academy for Health Careers, and the International Baccalaureate Programme for students.

Celery Feds say 'Hi' and 'Goodbye'

Sanford landmark school building hosts reunion and its last hurrah

SANFORD--There was a party going on at Sanford Middle School on Saturday.
And it's the last one that will take place in the school which was built as Seminole high School in 1927.
The facility, located at 1700 French Ave., which some say has outlived its usefulness, will be torn down next month to reveal a new school which has been under construction behind it for over two years.
"There are a lot of good memories in this old place," said Roy Wright, who was president of the class of 1936 and quarterbaclk of the Celery Feds football team in those days. "But I think the old building has outlived its usefulness and the new buildings will hold some new memories for people."
Those who came to reminisce with old friends and to say goodbye to the school of their memories had the chance to walk down Memory Lane where old annuals, photos and newspapers were encased in a glass enclosure.
Many of the items in the display had been removed from a time capsule that was removed from the cornerstone of the old building on Friday.
Issues of the "Sanford Herald" and the "Sanford Morning signal" from June 1926 were on display. An issue of the "Celery Fed" school newspaper from the 1950s was also shown.
"Oh I wish we could take those out and look at them," said Jane Thornton of Deltona, who didn't want to say what year she graduated.
'"I want to try on that helmet," chimed in her husband Dave who did not graduate from the school, but said he was interested in seeing the school that his wife had talked so much about.
"She talks about this place all the time," he said. "I just had to see it for myself."
In the new school cafeteria, more than 500 people from the classes of 1927 through 1960 gathered at long tables festooned with bright stalks of celery and orange and black balloons to eat a spaghetti dinner prepared by the lunchroom staff.
The school's jazz band entertained.
Small piece's of the gymnasium's wooden floor were on sale for three dollars apiece. Many alumni were buying the mementos.
Elizabeth Shoemaker Lynch, who lives in Sanford, was a member of the class of 1927, was also a math teacher at he school in the 1930s and 1940s.
"I've seen a lot of my old students here today, but they all looked so much older," she laughed.
Margaret Sprout Green, another member of the class of 1927, was unhappy about the impending destruction of a piece of Seminole County history.
"It should be preserved," she said.
The Celery Feds concluded the day-long reunion with a dance at the Sanford Chamber of Commerce.
The Banana Boys (music with appeal, they said), who played at all the school's dances in the 1940s and early 1950s provided the music.

Description
The Milane Theatre was built at 203 South Magnolia Avenue, the former location of the Star Theatre, an abandoned movie house. Scroggs and Ewing, architects from Georgia, prepared the plans for the Milane. The name of the new theater was derived from the combination of the Milane Amusement Company president and vice president: Frank L. Miller and Edward F. Lane, respectively. The Milane opened in July of 1923 and seated 823 patrons.
In 1933, the Milane was sold to Frank and Stella Evans, investors from Lake Mary, Florida. The new owners renamed their business the Ritz Theater and held the property until the 1990s. However, the Ritz struggled financially in the 1960s and closed in 1978 due to failure to compete with the new multiplex theaters. The building remained vacant until 1984, when it reopened as the Showtime Cantina. The Showtime Cantina closed in 1988 and remained vacant and in decay.
In the mid-1990s, Ritz Community Theater Projects, Inc. acquired the property and began rehabilitation in 1998. On May 6, 2000, the theater reopened as the Helen Stairs Theatre in honor of the citizen who led the restoration project, Helen Stairs. The following year, the location was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2008, additional renovations were completed and the theater was renamed the Wayne Densch Performing Arts Center in honor of the Wayne Densch Charitable Trust Fund for contributing to the renovations fund.

Hotel Forrest Lake Collection
Description
Originally named after the Sanford Mayor and president of Seminole County Bank, the Forrest Lake Hotel has also been known as the Mayfair Inn and was briefly occupied by the Sanford Naval Academy. In 1916, construction of the building began. Local architect Elton J. Moughton designed the hotel. In 1925, Hotel Forrest Lake opened and became a popular destination for tourists visiting Sanford.
By 1929, the hotel closed after the stock market crash and the downfall of Florida's tourism and real estate boom. William E. Kirchhoff leased the building in 1934 and the hotel reopened in 1935 with the new name Mayfair Hotel. Under Kirchhoff's ownership, the Mayfair Hotel became known as one of the finest hotels in the South.
Kirchhoff sold the hotel in 1948 to Horace Stoneham, owner of the New York Giants. Stoneham then sold the building to the Bernard McFadden Foundation, who later sold it to the New Tribes Mission. The New Tribes Mission's goal is to reach tribes who have no access to the Gospel through translated publications and missionary work.

History of the building for the New Tribes Mission International Headquarters, located at 1000 East First Street in Sanford, Florida. Originally named after the Sanford Mayor and president of Seminole County Bank, construction of the Forrest Lake Hotel began in 1916. Local architect Elton J. Moughton designed the hotel. In 1925, Hotel Forrest Lake opened and became a popular destination for tourists visiting Sanford.

Stoneham then sold the building to the Bernard McFadden Foundation in 1963. After the Naval Air Station Sanford acquired $1.3 million to fund the construction of a naval academy in 1963, the Foundation made significant alterations to the building to house students from the Sanford Naval Academy. The Foundation later sold the building to the New Tribes Mission in 1977. The New Tribes Mission's goal is to reach tribes who have no access to the Gospel through translated publications and missionary work.

NEW TRIBES MISSION
INTERNATIONAL HEADQUARTERS
Sanford, Florida
In the summer heat of 1925, 100 men were rushing to complete one of Sanford's biggest construction projects to date: the Forrest Lake Hotel.
The rush was made necessary by reservations which were already being received, though the hotel was not due to open until the following January. Each guest room had a private bathroom. On the first floor of the west wing was the dining area, centered around a main dining room 116 feet long by 42 feet wide. Behind that was a more intimate banquet room 50 X 50 feet.There was also a kitchen featuring the latest equipment in a fully fireproof construction. It cost a half-a-million dollars to build, boasted Howard Hullick, its first manager. (Another source stated it cost 5 million dollars.)
On January 4, 1926, the Hotel Forrest Lake, named for Sanford's Mayor, opened its doors to tourists from New York, New Jersey and other northern states. Though the first season went very well, the Florida land bust was just around the corner and the Hotel Forrest Lake was one of
its victims. Investors in the hotel lost their fortunes. Then a series of owners bought and sold the hotel until, in 1930, the City took over the building and it was renamed the Mayfair Hotel.
In 1934, W. E. Kirchhoff, Jr., leased the facility from the City, re-opened it five months a year for the winter tourist season, and allowed permanent residents to stay in it year-round. In 1937 Kirchhoff purchased the $1,000 tax deed on it and continued its seasonal activities. During the off season, Kirchhoff allowed a local car dealer to store automobiles in the building, and it was often filled with people who came to see the latest offerings form Detroit.
When World War II came along, and brought the Naval Air Station to Sanford, the hotel was taken over as quarters for naval personnel. After the war, Kirchhoff added a swimming pool and after doing battle with the damage done by the hurricane, September 4, 1947, decided to sell.
During a high school baseball tournament being held at the building in 1947, it was announced that a potential buyer had defaulted on the mortgage and all those present were made to adjourn and finish the game somewhere else. John Krider, involved with the New York
Giants, and Ed Higgins of the Sanford Chamber of Commerce, then went to New York and persuaded the Major League Giants to take over the building, which they did, in 1948.
Along with the hotel, the Giants bought the Mayfair Golf Course, then spent $75,000 renovating the building. They renamed it the Mayfair Inn. Celebrities such as movie star Tallulah Bankhead, Arthur Godfrey, Victor Borge, multimillionaire H.L. Hunt, Broadway actress
and dancer Wendie Barrie, author Thornton Wilder, who wrote one of his most famous works "The Ides of March" during his visit, and notorious gangster, Al Capone, stayed at the hotel. Major League baseball guests included Leo Durocher, Branch Rickey, Mel Ott, Carl Hubbell, Mrs. John J. McGraw, and Horace Stoneham, president of the Giants.
The Mayfair Opening Ball on the first Saturday in December was the high spot of the Sanford social season. About 550 people, in formal attire, including about 300 hotel guests, turned out each year for the cocktail party, dinner and dance. Special New York cut steaks were flown in from New York, All the local leaders, politicians, society and business leaders were
there.
Though the Giants had planned to bring their major league club to the Inn each year, they only cam to Sanford for one year for training. For the nest nine years, professional hotel man Charles Marion operated the Inn as a tourist hotel for them. Frank Mebane, Jr., who still lives in Sanford, was the Manager of the Inn during the fifties. In the late fifties the Giants left New
York for San Francisco.
The National Exhibition Company, former owner of the New York Giants, later the San Francisco Giants Baseball Team, sold the property to Bernard MacFadden, Inc., which opened the Sanford Naval Academy in 1963. Sanford Naval Academy was a private boys' military
school.
When the Academy went bankrupt in 1976, the National Exhibition Company regained ownership of the property. John Sauls, a Sanford real estate agent, learning that New Tribes Mission planned to move its Headquarters from Woodworth, Wisconsin, began negotiating for the property in late 1976 and by May 1977, the six-acre property was sold to New Tribes
Mission. The property then included a gymnasium and a 15-unit former motel and classroom building next to the white academy building. The facility then became New Tribes Mission International Headquarters.
NTM paid $400,000 and spent another $350,000 in repairs. Another party wanted to buy this property and put up a high-rise condominium. They would have had to pay another $75,000
to have the hotel torn down.

Hotel Forrest Lake Collection
Description
Originally named after the Sanford Mayor and president of Seminole County Bank, the Forrest Lake Hotel has also been known as the Mayfair Inn and was briefly occupied by the Sanford Naval Academy. In 1916, construction of the building began. Local architect Elton J. Moughton designed the hotel. In 1925, Hotel Forrest Lake opened and became a popular destination for tourists visiting Sanford.
By 1929, the hotel closed after the stock market crash and the downfall of Florida's tourism and real estate boom. William E. Kirchhoff leased the building in 1934 and the hotel reopened in 1935 with the new name Mayfair Hotel. Under Kirchhoff's ownership, the Mayfair Hotel became known as one of the finest hotels in the South.
Kirchhoff sold the hotel in 1948 to Horace Stoneham, owner of the New York Giants. Stoneham then sold the building to the Bernard McFadden Foundation, who later sold it to the New Tribes Mission. The New Tribes Mission's goal is to reach tribes who have no access to the Gospel through translated publications and missionary work.

The ceremony of the laying of the cornerstone of the new $500,000 Forrest Lake Hotel, which was to have been held this afternoon was postponed on account o’ the funeral of John S. Wilson, who was one of the stockholders of the company.

Cornerstone of New
$500,00 Hotel Will
Be Laid on Tuesday
Plans are being worked out by R. N. Pearman, Jr., secretary of the Sanford Chamber of Commerce for the laying of the cornerstone of the new $500,000 hotel next Tuesday evening. Howard Hulick, head of the company erecting the hotel is co-operating in arranging for the ceremony and it is exuected that a large number of citizens will turn out.
The Chamber ofCommerce and all other civic bodies of the city will take part. The band will be present and several addresses made. The exact hour and the complete program is expected to be announced on Monday.
In the meantime work on the hotel is progressing rapidly and Mr. Hulick assures the members of the Chamber of Commerce that the hostelry will be ready for occupancy by the beginning of the next season.
That Sanford is getting plenty of publicity from the building of the Forrest Lake Hotel even before the cornerstone is laid is the fact that this afternoon, Hulick & Hulick are sending out notices to their 4,000 patrons of Loch Arbour Hotel at Allenhurst, N.J., of the opening of the Loch Arbour Hotel for the summer and included in this announcement was notice that the Forrest Lake Hotel of Sanford would be open on Jan. 1, of
