From the Winter Garden Heritage Foundation 11.20.14

The Atlantic Coastline Railroad Station on Winter Garden’s Plant Street provides the backdrop for two local young ladies in this circa 1939 photograph. The depot was built of brick in 1918, replacing the wooden structure built in 1906. Ara Norris Taylor, who worked at Tarbutton’s Dime Store across the street from the station, took the photo. Iona Fetner stands at left, and Imogene Laney is at right. The restored depot now serves as a Winter Garden Heritage Foundation museum.

The Winter Garden Heritage Foundation, which seeks to preserve our heritage and architecture while creating new cultural experiences, is celebrating its third decade with the debut of its new History Research and Education Center.
