About this postcard

A long, low Spanish Colonial Revival railroad station with white stucco walls, arched openings and red tile roofs, dominated by a square tower with arched windows and a tiled cap. Palm trees frame the building while period automobiles and a few figures occupy the wide street and driveway in front. The station was built for the Seaboard Air Line Railway, whose Florida service helped open the state's east coast to winter tourism and settlement in the early twentieth century.
