Wow that's before the Indian River Blvd.I know where that is now. The original one went right to the old wooden Bridge.The loop is where it is still today and the palms west of it are now a church.this was a Royal Palm Farm.

Amazing photo. Hurricanes are similar to our tornadoes (when they are rain-wrapped).

So sad, the building in the photo. It's rough to see a building so disrespected.

Understandable.

It's fascinating to see how a building - or area - changes over time.

I found one of the older churches still where it is.I knew it was old but not pre Vero Beach and Indian River County.I will photo the church.it's a hyper calvinist church.I played there as a boy.

Off topic my wife took notice of the demolition of big blue as she with her mom went over towards the beach.my mother in law is from Vero.

"A hyper calvinist church" ? How hyper?

(Big Blue should not be demolished!)

Now then compare that old image to the more recent one of the diesel plant.

I have one other to post that I found but Is related to the power plant days.I'm nit sure what was stored in it.it was razed 25 years ago along with the water tower I believe.

Okay. Primitive Baptist = hyper Calvinist Baptist. I understand now.

The plant today looks far better than the older photo of it
