TARPON SPRINGS CITY DIRECTORY (1939) 241

TARPON SPRINGS

You are invited to spend your next vacation in Tarpon Springs, whether it be for a few days, a week, the winter season-or better still-to make it your permanent home. In any event, you will find Tarpon Springs a de- lightful place in which to live.

The Tarpon Springs Chamber of Commerce will be delighted to give specific information, upon request.

Located in the northernmost part of Pinellas County, it has a high elevation, and contains twenty miles of water-frontage within its corporate limits, including picturesque bayous, reaching into the heart of the city. Adding to its beauty, among many tropical trees, shrubs and flowers, are numerous jacaranda trees, which, when in bloom, dot the city with splashes of lavender splendor. It is worth a trip to Tarpon Springs to see them!

Often referred to as "The Venice of the South" because of its similarity to "Old Venice," Tarpon Springs is bounded on the north by the Anclote River, on the east by Lake Butler and on the west by the Gulf of Mexico.

CLIMATE: Climatic conditions the year 'round are unexcelled by any other section, not only of this country, but other countries of the world as well. It is pleasantly warm, with plenty of sunshine during the winter months, while in the summer there is always a cool breeze off the Gulf.

WATER: Excellent water is supplied by the city from deep wells.

INDUSTRIES: Here is located the largest sponge industry in the world, with an annual income of more than $1,000,000. Other industries included in the trade territory are five citrus packing houses, a grapefruit canning plant, several shipyards and ways, a custom chicken hatchery, an ice-plant, five wholesale fish companies, sixteen sponge-packing houses, a bottling works, a tannery and various other small industries.

INNESS PAINTINGS: Here are located The Inness paintings, in the Church of the Good Shepherd, which is open daily from 3:00 to 5:00 o'clock when lectures are given. These ten religious paintings were inspired by the beauties of the vicinity, and were the work of the late George Inness, Jr., whose father had already made this section famous with his painting, "The Home of the Heron." Like them, many artists and lovers of nature have been drawn here by the unusual setting of Tarpon Springs, its bayous, the tropical Anclote River, Lake Butler and the Gulf.

TRAVEL FACILITIES: Served by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, the Seaboard Air Line Railway; busses of the Gulf Coast Motor Lines, Inc., and Florida Motor Lines, and excellent paved highways connecting with a] parts of Florida.

CHURCHES: Churches of practically every denomination are found here, including Baptist, Methodist, Catholic, Presbyterian, Episcopal, Uni- versalist, Greek Orthodox and Church of God.

SCHOOLS: Accredited elementary and junior-senior high schools, housed in modern buildings with up-to-date equipment. A 70-piece high school band, which has on several occasions received high honors in competitive playing.

LIBRARY: A new public library containing thousands of volumes, among them many of the latest books.

Many beautiful homes and homesites, a municipal hospital, excellent accommodations of all kinds, and many forms of sports and entertainment are found here.

SPORTS: One of the finest 18-hole golf courses on the west coast of Florida is found here. Shuffleboard courts; tennis and other forms of en- tertainment at Coburn City Park, where there is also a boat landing, picnic grounds, fishing, both fresh and salt-water, and other water sports; boat trips on river and Gulf; training quarters for one of the nationally-known baseball clubs.

Tourist activities include a tourist club with several hundred members who enjoy entertainments, card parties, needlework clubs and other activi- ties especially arranged by various groups.

AGRICULTURE: Citrus groves dot the surrounding territory, and in

the vicinity are also grown many other fruits and practically all vegetables that are found elsewhere in Florida. Such products are plentiful in sealion, and are available almost the year 'round.

Poultry is also raised extensively in this vicinity.

HOTELS: Excellent hotels offering every comfort for the visitor -- by the day, week or month, at moderate rates. The leading hotels include the Hotel Villa Plumosa, the Hotel Stratford and the Hotel Arcade, all of which will be glad to give their rates on application-either American or Euro- pean plan.

Comfortable apartments and rooms in private homes or at the smaller hotels are available-with or without meals.

TOURIST CAMPS: Excellent, registered tourist camps and trailer fa- cilities are available for those who prefer them.

CLUBS: In Tarpon Springs are numerous civic, fraternal and social clubs and organizations representing all leading bodies of the country. Ro- tary and Lions are prominent here.

The Greek Epiphany ceremony, held here annually on Jan. 6, is at- tended by thousands of persons. The Greek Orthodox Church, centuries old, with all its beauty of symbolism, retains many of its ecclesiastical and church customs and rites, among which is the ever-interesting Epiphany or "Greek Cross" ceremony commemorating the baptism of Christ, the descent of the Holy Spirit and the recovery of the Cross under Constantine.
