Extremely hard to believe this was built in 1890s more like founded and inherited. They want us to belive they built this while at the same time living in simple wood houses and riding horses and carrying sticks in the mud.

This looks very interesting. I've known about RHD the journalist for many years but totally unfamiliar with his work, though I do recall TV stories based on his Gallegher character, back when I was a kid in the 60's. Very interesting to see that someone portrays him in full war-reporter's regalia. I think I've read that Davis was a well-known, even a household, name all those decades ago, though he's forgotten today, as is the Spanish-American War. I'd like to see this performance.

The photo used in the title is not Tampa, but from the old sulfur springs in White Springs, near Steven Foster state park (where my aunt is a park ranger) closer to the panhandle. Been there many times, and it is an absolute architectural wonder.

Hi Cody, thank you for the first reply to my statement. I can certainly understand your logic, but if you will research "White Springs, FL history", you will see this same picture in that town's history. Also, the picture in the video is not congruent with the other photos. I was fortunate to swim in that spring in the 1950's. My great grandmother visited the spring in the early 1900's. I am interested in keeping history as accurate as possible. There was a Joe B Klay printing company in Tampa many years back. Any chance you are related? I would like to communicate further if you are interested. Suggest you go to U-tube, Ck out post of 8/29/2020 by "Tampa Jay" titled "Florida's first tourist attraction at White Sulphur Spring..."

If it was Sourced in TAMPA, it was Most Likely Sulphur Springs Pool on the Hillsborough River. I Live about 5 Minutes From the Current Man Made Pool there. Back THEN it was the HIGHLIGHT of Tampa's Swimming Area's. Until the Water Quality was considered To dangerous For Swimming.

It's important to understand the history behind "dumb things" like this, otherwise they get torn down and the history fades to black forever. People not understanding history are part of the reason we see civil unrest turn to civil war over and over again, often times for the same things that were fought over centuries before.

I was there recently. I was told that the cross thing on everything this guy owned ment nothing. that's not true. he didnt just pick the Templar cross and put the freemason crescent moon on top for no good reason. Most of the building does not seem to be Victorian. especially the architecture. it looks more french or tutor of 16th century. I think they need to re evaluate their facts.
