Description
Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of Sanford Avenue, the main street in Georgetown, an African-American community in Sanford, Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around.
Georgetown was established by the city's founder, Henry Shelton Sanford, in the 1870s. The neighborhood spans along Sanford Avenue, with its commercial district between First Street and Fifth Street, and its historic district between Seventh Street and Tenth Street. Though originally much smaller, Georgetown spanned to its present boundaries from East Second Street to Celery Avenue and from Sanford Avenue to Mellonville Avenue. Georgetown thrived at its height from circa 1880 to 1940, particularly in agriculture and transportation.

Description
The lots located at 313-317 South Sanford Avenue in <span><span>Georgetown, an historic African-American neighborhood in</span></span> Sanford, Florida. The earliest known occupant of Suite 313 was an African-American resident named Burton Williams in 1911. The Diamond Place was listed at this address in 1917 and Thomas Mosley, a black grocer, operated his store here in 1924. The lot was listed as vacant in 1926 and again in 1947. In 1952, Irma Gibson, another black business owner, ran her restaurant at this location. <br /><br /> The black business called C.W. & A. Blanding was the first known occupant of Suite 315 in 1911. From approximately 1917 to 1924, Z. J. Jerry, another black resident, was listed at this address and the Peoples Drug Store, an African-American business, was located in Suite 317. The Peoples Drug Store had moved to Suites 315 by 1926 and Jerry's residence was listed at 315 1/2 South Sanford Avenue. By that same year, Sanford Garage, another black-owned business, had moved to Suite 317 from 319 South Sanford Avenue. By 1947, Jerry was running a business as a druggist from Suite 315; however, Suites 315-317 were vacated by 1952. At the time that this photograph was taken in January 2012, Suites 313-317 were vacant with no building.
