A guy posted this Photo on one of the history pages I follow on Facebook. It's The Peacock Inn which was in Peacock Park. The inn was built in 1882 by Charles Peacock, this photo is from 1896-1898. There were three buildings that were converted into the one structure.
I never realized it was so large before, but you can see the people on the veranda in this photo by comparison. This photo below is how I always picture the Peacock Inn, this is Christmas Day 1886.
But if you look at this angle, you can see the three structures that make one.
And these are winter visitors on the porch in 1890.
I would love to see what it looked like inside, you know, the common areas and the hotel rooms; probably like something you see on Gunsmoke or Maverick ,I guess.
The photos come from Florida Memory, from the State Archives of Florida.
