Come join St. Petersburg Preservation for its next summer evening historic walking tour on Tuesday, July 14, leaving from the historic Detroit Hotel at the NW corner of Central Avenue and 2nd Street at 6:00 P.M. The tour should end at approximately 8:15 P.M., leaving time to enjoy sunset with a cool drink or perhaps a gelato at a downtown business. The tour will include sections from both our popular “Original” Downtown Historic Tour as well as our newest tour, “North by Old Northeast.”
This summer evening tour will be conducted at a leisurely pace, taking in a portion of downtown, the waterfront and the Historic Old Northeast neighborhood.
Tour participants will get to see some of the jewels of St. Pete’s past while learning about the City’s history and architecture. We expect to have a special guest and tour guide for a portion of this tour, Mayor Rick Baker. Mayor Baker is the author of Mangroves to Major League, a book published in 2000 about the history of St. Petersburg.
