1949 Winter Park Construction Company Advertisement

Format

Newspaper clipping

Date

1949-12-18

Location

1632 Lakehurst Avenue, Winter Park, Florida.

Description

This newspaper clipping, dated December 18, 1949, features a special article about the completion of a new home in Winter Park, Florida. The home was built by the Winter Park Construction Company for Colonel Claude S. Buchanan and Ruth Buchanan at 1632 Lakehurst Avenue for their daughter, Ruth Charlotte Miller, Dale Miller, and their son, Chuck. The article is complimentary of the house for its modern design, highlighting its use of Kissam “Textured” concrete building tiles, advertised as both durable and well-suited for Florida’s climate. The clipping includes two photographs, one showing the exterior of the house and another depicting the clean and modern interior living room, where Dale, Ruth, and Chuck can be seen.
