Photos from the first half of the 20th century create an intriguing portrait of the south bank of the St. Johns River and the much beloved neighborhood of San Marco in Jacksonville, Florida. The area was home to unique attractions such as Dixieland amusement park and Oriental Gardens. The Florida land boom in the 1920's led to the creation of San Marco, fashioned by the developer to create the ambiance of Venice, Italy.
