Beach Park & Culbreath Isles

Roy Young, William Trice, Milton and Giddings Mabry in 1911 hence earning itself the name "wild tropical garden, impregnable and uninhabitable" given it by Tampa Sunday Times. The new owners of Beach Park subdivided it into "Beach Park on the Bay" thereby constructing wetlands and water channels alongside curvy road networks to adorn it with an exclusive and exceptional attraction to "those of generous financial means." As at November of 1924, the “Beach Park Company” as was referred to at the time, constructed a spectacular West Shore coincidentally just as winter visitors began to arrive. Along the road, Moorish styled gates were lined up, so perfectly lit up so much that they could be seen from far off as Pinellas County.

The entry point to around 70 houses built during the foremost Beach Park construction was signified by the gates.
