Viking Cemetery is one of the last remaining pieces of the small town of Fort Pierce, Florida. The area was first settled in 1892 by Major B. Daniels (1860-1947), who used the land largely to grow pineapple, a significant crop in Florida at the time. By 1895, Norwegian immigrant Jens Helseth (1858-1944) moved to the area and also grew pineapple on his 80-acre farm. From these early homesteads, the tiny village of Viking grew, named so due to the abundance of Scandinavian families who settled there. Helseth granted a portion of his homestead to serve as the community cemetery by 1905, the date of the first interment. It has since then served the descendants of Helseth, his family, and friends in the small community. The cemetery is today privately owned by the great-great grandchildren of Helseth, who maintain the site.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network , Division of Anthropology and Archaeology, University of West Florida, Pensacola, Florida.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network]]> Viking Cemetery Collection, Florida Historic Cemenetery Recording Project Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network and is provided here by RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only. ]]> Downtown Orlando Post Office Collection, Orlando Remembered Collection, Orlando Collection, Orange County Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network , Division of Anthropology and Archaeology, University of West Florida, Pensacola, Florida.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network]]> Viking Cemetery Collection, Florida Historic Cemenetery Recording Project Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network and is provided here by RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only. ]]> Downtown Orlando Post Office Collection, Orlando Remembered Collection, Orlando Collection, Orange County Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network , Division of Anthropology and Archaeology, University of West Florida, Pensacola, Florida.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network]]> Viking Cemetery Collection, Florida Historic Cemenetery Recording Project Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network and is provided here by RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only.]]> Downtown Orlando Post Office Collection, Orlando Remembered Collection, Orlando Collection, Orange County Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network , Division of Anthropology and Archaeology, University of West Florida, Pensacola, Florida.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network]]> Viking Cemetery Collection, Florida Historic Cemenetery Recording Project Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network and is provided here by RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only. ]]>
The hotel also housed a series of services for hotel guests and Orlando residents alike. Among these were several restaurants, a barbershop, and a laundry. The San Juan was the main focal point for activity in Orlando in the early years, but the hotel hit hard times in the 1960s and was re-opened as the Grand Central Hotel, which opened on October 6, 1978. The Grand Central served a gay clientele, featuring several themed bars and lounges. In 1979, the hotel was destroyed by fire. The building was eventually demolished in 1981. The current use of site is a business office originally known as the First Union Bank Tower. It is a 16-story, 300,000-square foot building, completed in 1983.]]> Downtown Orlando Post Office Collection, Orlando Remembered Collection, Orlando Collection, Orange County Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network , Division of Anthropology and Archaeology, University of West Florida, Pensacola, Florida.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network]]> Viking Cemetery Collection, Florida Historic Cemenetery Recording Project Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network and is provided here by RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only. ]]> Mechanical Engineering about the impact of George Westinghouse (1846-1914), who founded of the Westinghouse Electric Company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on January 8, 1886.

Westinghouse's primary products include turbines, generators, motors and switchgear related to the generation, transmission, and use of electricity.

In 1981, the company began to relocate its division headquarters for the Steam-Turbine Generator Divisions from Pennsylvania (turbines from Lester and generators from Pittsburgh) to Orlando, Florida. The Power Generation Business Unit (PGBU) building was located in The Quadrangle, at 4400 Alafaya Trail. Originally, Westinghouse had purchased a large plot of land for future development that extended westward from Alafaya Trail to Rouse Road. The original headquarters was located on several acres of that land parcel close to Alafaya Trail.

As the PGBU grew in size, other buildings were rented and then, after PGBU was sold to Siemens Corporation, additional buildings were added to the complex. In 1994, after a major corporate management shuffling and commitment to change from an industrial manufacturing company to primarily a broadcasting/communications company, Westinghouse bought the CBS Network and changed its name to the CBS Corporation.

Westinghouse Electric Corporation was a pioneer in the development of combined cycle power technology. The combined cycle concept marries gas turbine and steam turbine power generation by utilizing the "waste" heat energy in the exhaust of the gas turbine to generate steam to drive the steam turbine generator. Earliest combined cycle plants, installed during the early 1960s, were usually one-of-of-a-kind customized designs. In 1971, Westinghouse introduced the PACE (Power At Combined Efficiencies) pre-engineered combined cycle plant based on using two 80 MW W501B gas turbines and one 100 MW steam turbine. This brochure was produced in 1991 by the Power Generation Business Unit, headquartered at The Quadrangle, Orlando, FL, to describe the then-current combined cycle products offered by Westinghouse. Standardized plants ranged in size from the 68 MW plant based on one W251B11/12 gas turbine to the nominal 500MW 2-on-1 plant using two W501F gas turbines.]]> Westinghouse Electric Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> Adobe Acrobat Reader]]> Siemens and is provided here by RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network , Division of Anthropology and Archaeology, University of West Florida, Pensacola, Florida.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network]]> Viking Cemetery Collection, Florida Historic Cemenetery Recording Project Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network and is provided here by RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only. ]]>
George Westinghouse (1846-1914) served in the American Civil War as a teenager. Afterwards, at the age of 19, he created his first invention, a rotary steam engine. In 1869, at age 22, Westinghouse invented a railroad braking system using compressed air, and this became the basis of his first major business venture, the Westinghouse Air Brake Company. His important contributions to electric power generation, distribution and application began later in the 19th century. This brochure highlights the career of Westinghouse and his great accomplishments.]]> Westinghouse Electric Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> Adobe Acrobat Reader]]> Siemens and is provided here by RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only.]]>

Viking Cemetery is one of the last remaining pieces of the small town of Fort Pierce, Florida. The area was first settled in 1892 by Major B. Daniels (1860-1947), who used the land largely to grow pineapple, a significant crop in Florida at the time. By 1895, Norwegian immigrant Jens Helseth (1858-1944) moved to the area and also grew pineapple on his 80-acre farm. From these early homesteads, the tiny village of Viking grew, named so due to the abundance of Scandinavian families who settled there. Helseth granted a portion of his homestead to serve as the community cemetery by 1905, the date of the first interment. It has since then served the descendants of Helseth, his family, and friends in the small community. The cemetery is today privately owned by the great-great grandchildren of Helseth, who maintain the site.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network , Division of Anthropology and Archaeology, University of West Florida, Pensacola, Florida.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network]]> Viking Cemetery Collection, Florida Historic Cemenetery Recording Project Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network.]]> Florida Public Archaeology Network and is provided here by RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only.]]>

Originally called the Westinghouse Electric Company, George Westinghouse (1846-1914) founded his manufacturing company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on January 8, 1886. In 1889, he renamed his business The Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company. Westinghouse's primary products include turbines, generators, motors and switchgear related to the generation, transmission, and use of electricity. The company changed its name to Westinghouse Electric Corporation in 1945. In 1981, the company began to relocate its division headquarters for the Steam-Turbine Generator Divisions from Pennsylvania (turbines from Lester and generators from Pittsburgh) to Orlando. The PGBU building was located in The Quadrangle, at 4400 Alafaya Trail.]]> Westinghouse Electric Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> Siemens and is provided here by RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only.]]>
In 1983, the Westinghouse power generation business operation, starting with the Steam Turbine Generator Division, was taking shape in its new Orlando headquarters under the management team led by General Manager Dr. Stan Quick (under E. J. "Gene" Cattabiani, Vice President of the Power Generation Group). This series of letters, memoranda, and charts documents the changes in management leadership at the Orlando site from 1983 through 1998, when the Westinghouse Power Genration Business was acquired by Siemens. Following the announcement of the retirement of Dr. Quick in 1984, the management was led by the team of Bob Ractcliffe and Howard Pierce. In 1987, Tom Campbell was appointed General Manager of the Power Generation Technology Systems Division under Nat Woodsen and Jim Moore, Vice Presidents of the Power Systems Business Unit. In 1988, the Power Generation Business Unit (PGBU) was formed under Frank R. Bakos, Vice President and General Manager (under Executive Vice President Ted Stern), and, in 1995, Randy H. Zwirn took the helm as Vice President and General Manager of the PGBU. He remained at the executive level for 20 years, through the PGBU acquisition by Siemens in 1998 and beyond to 2016.
