Church of the Good Shepherd Postcard
Tarpon Springs (Fla.)
Churches--Florida
A postcard depicting the exterior of the Church of the Good Shepherd, which was founded under the leadership of Reverend Henry deLafayette Webster in 1885. After the original building was destroyed in a fire in 1908, the present building was built the following year. The congregation has undergone many name changes, including the First Universalist Church, the Universalist Church of Tarpon Springs, and Unitarian Universalist Church of Tarpon Springs, which was adopted in 1992. The church is well known for housing various paintings by George Inness (1825-1894).<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.

Sioux Villa, located at 60 Waverly Place in Downtown Orlando, Florida, in 2007. In 1906, this two-story bungalow was built for Mahlon Gore on the south shore of Lake Lucerne. Gore was born in Climax, Michigan, on February 4, 1837. In 1861, he enlisted in the Second Michigan Infantry, serving only three moves. Shortly thereafter, he moved to Iowa with his wife, Josephine Lucinda Dawley Gore, who he had married in 1860. Together, they had one child: Eva Gore Robinson.<br /><br />After homesteading in the Dakota Territory, Gore decided to moved to Orlando, Florida, in 1880, due to his poor health. In the 1880s, he purchased <em>The Orange County Reporter</em> shortly after his arrival and was elected to the Orlando City Council. Gore served as Mayor of Orlando from 1893 to 1896. His wife passed away around 1903 and he moved into Sioux Villa in 1906. He died on June 27, 1916.<br /><br />Gore's second wife, Caroline Groninger Gore, opened their home, which was then located at 211 Lucerne Circle, to a congregation of Unitarian Universalists led by Reverend Eleanor Gordon during the winter of 1910. On January 8, 1911, the home served as the site of the first service of the First Unitarian Church of Orlando. The church was formally organized the following year in the home of Edward McNeill, located at 309 Robinson Street. The congregation held some of its earliest services in the Lucerne Theatre before purchasing land at the northeast corner of Central Boulevard and Rosalind Avenue in on January 1, 1913. The church building was designed by Ida Annah Ryan and Isabel Roberts in the Spanish Colonial Revival-style. The Unity Chapel held its first service on February 16, 1913, and was formally dedicated on March 16. By 1954, the congregation had outgrown Unity Chapel and moved to a new church located at 1901 East Robinson Street. In 1957, the chapel's last service took place. Sam Murrell constructed a new building, called the Murrell Building, that was designed by Richard Boone Rogers in 1957.

The Watermark, Vol. 12, No. 10, May 19-June 1, 2005
Gay culture--United States
The tenth issue of the twelfth volume of <em>The Watermark</em> was published on May 19, 2005, and covered stories related to the local, national, and international LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer/Questioning, and others) communities. Topics include the opening of a new Kissimmee bar, the death of community pioneer Jack Nichols (1938-2005), the overturning of a Nebraska state amendment that would have banned gay marriage, and the homophobia of Catholic priests in Spain. There is also an interview with Betty White (b. 1922), coverage of an AIDS protest outside the White House, and a look into the annual Orlando Fringe Festival. Although the "Editor's Desk" section mentions that this issue has 88 pages, the largest of 2005, there are only 48 pages available.<br /><br />Since 1994, <em>The Watermark</em> has been the cornerstone source of LGBTQ+ centered news for the Central Florida region. Founded by Tom Dyer in Orlando, the publication began generating bi-weekly issues beginning August 31, 1994. Since then, <em>The Watermark</em> has consistently published newspaper-style issues every other Thursday. Gaining traction, the publication expanded in 1995 to include Tampa and, in 1997, <em>The Watermark</em> became a permanent piece of LGBTQ+ culture when the publication initiated the first large-scale Gay Days Weekend event, the Beach Ball at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon. Before 1999, the publication printed 20,000 copies every week, distributing them to over 500 locations between its two major cities. Following 1999, the publication launched watermarkonline.com shifting to an online publication style. In 2016, Rick Claggett purchased <em>The Watermark</em>.
