Description

The Bank of Everglades Building dates from 1927 and is being restored by the Everglades Society for Historic Preservation. Proceeds from this Festival will be used to renovate the old building. The event is being held on the lawn overlooking the Barron River at the historic Rod & Gun Club in Everglades City. The Everglades Society for Historic Preservation is renovating the original Bank of Everglades Building which was completed in 1927. It was the first bank in Collier County and operated until 1962. After that, the building was used as a boarding house and bed & breakfast. It has been generously donated to ESHP and the Society now faces the daunting task of restoring it to its former dignity. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a landmark in this rural city.
