A partnership between Coral Ridge properties and Westinghouse Electric created three homes of the future to entice future residents to move to Coral Springs. The museum itself is a small building that was originally built in 1964 as a sales office. The building along with the covered bridge also in Coral Springs, are Florida Heritage sites. The small museum located in Mullins Park houses a collection of historic Coral Springs, papers and photos as well as original mailboxes. It was clear to me that the museum is curated and maintained with love. The Coral Springs Museum of History is truly a hidden jam

This building now rests in Mullins park where it houses a small collection of Coral Springs artifacts. Original city hall post office boxes, Indian relics, newspaper clippings, high school uniforms and an interactive history challenge known as "Sunny" are here. The City celebrates its birthday each year on July 10th. On July 10, 2025 (today) the city turns 62-years-old so there are tours led by members of the Coral Springs Historic Advisory Committee. Located in Mullins Park next to the community pool.

Since they were inexpensive to build soon everyone was constructing them for residents and visitors alike. They were constructed of Dade County pine and had indoor plumbing and running water. They measured 25 feet by 35 feet. Some had a beach view and ranged from one to three bedrooms. At their height of popularity there were 150 of them. All of the cottages were white with playing card suites cut of out their shutters. Houses cost under a thousand dollars to build and you could rent one for as little as $29 a month. I wish you could still get beach front property for that amount. The two Kester cottages owned by the Pompano Beach Historical Society were donated to them by Kester's nephew Stewart. They were moved from their original location to Founders Park behind the Historical Society building. Usually they are locked up but they open them for tours when they do the once a month historical trolley tour. The next time the cottages will be open is on January 12 from 9 to 10 AM. The cottages are filled with historical items from Pompano Beach's history. If you can't tour them they have a wonderful 3-D virtual tour on the website they have have set up for the cottages. One other Kester cottage remains on the grounds of the Butler House in Deerfield Beach.

    I have passed this memorial many times and was always curious about it. Today I finally stopped and…read moremade a new discovery. It was interesting to learn that Plantation has the largest volunteer fire department in the state of Florida. The Plantation Volunteer Fire Department was formed in 1957 by 21 citizens that included former Mayor Frank Veltri and the city's founder, Fred Peters. In the beginning they were stationed in a warehouse located at East Acre and Broward that served as the first fire station with a single engine. In 1960 the first fire station was built on Broward Boulevard at East Acre. As Plantation grew more stations were built and more engines added. Just as it was in 1957, the Suppression Division is comprised of all volunteers and has a roster of more than 190 firefighters making it the largest volunteer fire department in Florida. The Rescue Division was added in 1996 to answer the increasing demand for emergency medical services. Plantation is a combination department comprised of a volunteer Suppression Division, career EMS, a Fire and Life Safety Division, and maintenance/mechanic divisions. One of the most difficult fires the Plantation Volunteer Firefighters had to deal with was in September of 1997 at the Towne Mall, located at 69th Avenue and Broward Boulevard. The mall caught fire and became the largest tactical, firefighting operation in Broward County history. The large fire was due to the roof construction which was comprised of highly flammable materials. Today the Fire Department operates six stations placed throughout the city. The Plantation Fire Department currently serves an area of 22 square miles, a residential population of 94,000, and a daytime population in excess of 150,000. In 1998 the Plantation Fire Administration building and Firefighters' Memorial Park was dedicated. This park located adjacent to the administration building honors all of the volunteer firefighters in the City of Plantation. There are plaques with the names of firefighters who served the city and a 9/11 memorial. It was so nice to visit this peaceful spot that pays tribute to the brave and dedicated volunteer firefighters of Plantation.

Many of it's original design features remain. Architectural features of the buildings include those used the 1920's Florida land boom time and after it went bust during the Depression and New Deal eras. The Central Arcade Building is part of the city of Hollywood's Historical Landmark Plaque Tour sponsored by the Hollywood Historical Society and the Community Redevelopment Agency. This is stop number 12. The arcade was a popular building design in the 1920's and 1930's. It was one to two stories in height and had space in the building for individual retailers. The arcade was a precursor to the mall. In the 1930's Hollywood's mayor had a dental office in the building. In the late 1990's the building was the Hollywood Boulevard Theater. Today the building houses Cabo Blanco and Uncle Buck's, a discount store. The upstairs is available for lease.

The Hollywood Blvd Theater was a tenant here in the right side space and closed forever in 2001. Today, the two storefront locations of 1936 and 1938 Hollywood Blvd are the Cabo Blanco Restaurant & Bar. The words Central Arcade in the mid 1900s meant retail shopping area not as the meaning today which an arcade refers to pinball entertainment. The bronze marker plaque on the outer wall legitimizes the landmark by the Hollywood Historical Society.

In 1985, the City of Fort Lauderdale listed it as a possible candidate for historic preservation; However, it wasn't until 2022 (after the current owner purchased the property) that the City commission gave it landmark status. The miniature "castle" is located in the Tarpon River neighborhood on the banks of the New River. To the west of the property is the tiniest city park you'll ever see. A small buffer area where the ground is covered with small stones. You wouldn't know it was even an "official" park except for the Parks & Recreation sign. Two City employees were taking measurements of it when we stopped by to see the "castle". Along the River, there is dockage for four large boats. The property has a lovely tree shaded area with stone lions and seating. Per Zillow, it's two lots together with a total area is just under 18.000 square feet. The "castle" itself is only a one-bedroom, one bath house with just under 900 square feet. There is a fence around the property, but you can see over and through it; and when we visited you could walk just inside the open part of the fence even though there were construction workers right next to it. It still is private property so you must be respectful. It's not technically open to the public. So glad we got to see Fort Lauderdale's only "castle".
