The 1924 Caldwel-Temple Building is a 12,736 foot office building located in the commercial…read morehistoric downtown district of Lake Wales. This area of the downtown contains many examples of buildings from Florida's land boom years in the 1920's. This is an example of a two story building has three parts. In the 1920's the building contained the Draper Furniture Company, a casket manufacturer, and a Masonic lodge. At the time it was built it was the largest building in Lake Wales. In 1999 the building was purchased by the Jahna company that manufactures concrete roof tile. Jahna had ties to Lake Wales because it was where the company founder Emil Jahna Sr. brought his family in 1925 from Sarasota, Florida to open Ridge Stone and Tile. At first they operated out of a three room house remodeled into an office in 1961. In 1980 they built a larger office next to the original corporate location on Tillman Avenue where they operated for the next 20 years. In 1999 the Jahna Company purchased the Caldwell-Temple Building building, renamed it the Jahna building, restored it with help from the Lake Wales historical Society, and made it their corporate office. In 2001 E.R. Jahna moved their offices to the building.

Unfortunately, this is the closest library to us and it's in what seems like a very sketchy area. The building is very rundown, carpets are filthy, and restrooms are extremely dirty. The selection is bleak at best. We did like that there was a completely separate kids area but that was the only thing that we liked about this library. The staff didnt acknowledge us until we went up to the desk and even then, the guy wasn't the friendliest. We got a card but I don't see myself coming back to this location unless it's to renew the card and have access to Libby.

I love finding a historical marker. They are filled with nuggets of interesting history about the…read moresurrounding area. I found this one while driving through Frostproof on my way to Lake Wales. This is not one of the blue state historic markers. Instead this green marker was installed by the Polk County Historical Society. When the government enacted the Indian Removal Act in 1830, the army was sent to drive all of the Native Americans out west on the Trail of Tears. The Seminoles resisted and the Second Seminole War broke out. Forts like this one in Frostproof were set up all across Florida to aid the US Army in their mission. The settlement in the area now known as Frostproof was established like many in central Florida at the time, as a fort, then called Fort Clinch. Fort Clinch was built on January 13, 1850 on the shore of what was then called Lake Mocha Poka. The fort was a stockade which consisted of six or seven buildings. garrisoned by 1st. Art., 7th Inf. U.S. Army and Florida Mounted Volunteers. Several men who served here went on to prominence during the Civil War. These included George G. Meade who would become a Union Major General, and Confederate Generals A.P. Hill, and Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson. The fort was named after the local Lake Clinch which was named after the popular Seminole War commander Duncan Lamont Clinch (1787-1849). Clinch served in both the 1st and 2nd Seminole Indian Wars. Three forts in total were named after him, this fort in Polk County (1850), Ft. Clinch at the mouth of the Withlacoochee River (1836) in what is now Levy County, and the most famous Fort Clinch (1847) which still stands in Nassau County. This settlement was abandoned only months later on June 8th. By the 1880s, Frostproof began to see its first permanent settlers as homesteaders were attracted to the abundant hunting and fishing in the area.

The T shaped Frostproof High School was designed by architects Oscar Berg and M. Leo Elliott in the Mediterranean Revival style popular in 1920's land boom years in Florida. The masonry high school was built with a brick foundation, patterned stucco exterior finish, and a low pitched hipped roof covered with asphalt shingles. Most of the windows are banks of aluminum awning windows. There are towers at the east and west ends of the main wing. In 1992 the Polk County School Board turned the building over to the City of Frost Proof. The city added a new roof, new windows, repaired the masonry, and repainted the building. On November 13,1997 the building was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Today the second floor of the building is government offices, council chambers, and meeting rooms. The east wing of the first floor is the Polk County Sheriff's offices. Also on the first floor is an auditorium and main lobby. The building is a real eye catcher. They don't make government building this beautiful anymore.
