Jacksonville, The Oriental Gardens
Unused, aging Curteich-Chicago linen card 9A-H1630. Don’t go rushing to Jacksonville to see the gardens, though. Exceptionally, we quote from a site other than Wikipedia, this time metrojacksonville dot com, telling us what happened: “In 1925, George W. Clark, a Riverside resident, began planting overflow from his botanical collection on a vacant bluff overlooking the St. Johns River. Eventually, this 18 acre private estate would open to the public. From 1937 to 1954, Oriental Gardens became Jacksonville’s major attraction. During this period, the gardens featured hourly concerts, 500 year old Live Oaks and 100 varieties of tropical and subtropical plants, shrubs and trees. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. In 1954, the private estate was purchased by State Investment Company and carved into 33 single family home sites.” Sigh. Grade: 2
