Description
The former Harley Hotel building, located at 151 East Washington Street in Downtown Orlando, Florida, in 2007. The site was originally occupied by Memorial High School, the second high school constructed in Orlando.<br /><br />In 1961, the school building was sold to hotel owners from Jacksonville. In 1963, the school building was razed and replaced by the Robert Meyer Hotel, which contained 250 rooms. The hotel became the Kahler Plaza Inn in 1972 and then the Harley Hotel in the late 1970s, when it was purchased by Harry Helmlsey. In the 1990s, the hotel was purchased and renamed Four Points by Sheraton Orlando, which closed in 2003. In 2004, developer David Eichenblatt began converting the hotel into the Metropolitan at Lake Eola condominiums, which contains 128 units as of 2013.

Vero Beach (Fla.)
Description
Vero Beach's most notable early settler was Henry T. Gifford, who built a home in 1887 near Vero's present-day City Hall. Vero was named because his wife, Sarah Gifford, suggested that the settlement be named after the Latin word meaning "to speak the truth."
In 1893, the Jacksonville, St. Augustine and Indian River Railroad laid tracks through Vero, causing growth in the town. In 1912, the Indian River Farms Company began a land reclamation project in present-day Indian River County. The Town of Vero was officially established the following year. Vero was incorporated as a city in 1919 and Indian River County was established in 1925, with Vero as the county seat. In that same year, Vero was re-incorporated as Vero Beach.
During World War II, Vero Beach experience a boom due to the establishment of Naval Air Station (NAS) Vero Beach northwest of the town. In 1947, NAS Vero Beach was selected as the Spring Training facility for the Brooklyn Dodgers. The naval air station is now the site of the Vero Beach Municipal Airport and the Vero Sports Village, formerly known as Dodgertown.
