On a historical note, this vernacular building was built during The Great Florida Land Boom in the 1920’s and played a significant part in framing the development of Gulfport. In the early 1900’s, trolleys like those that ran along Tangerine Avenue and Beach Boulevard helped to improve the city’s transportation system which connected Gulfport to neighboring St Petersburg, which housed a railroad terminal that connected to other cities throughout the state. This building was originally a grocery store over many years and was first known as Community Grocery, then later as Bowen’s Market. It is in a great location outside the flood zone and is a 5 minute drive to downtown Gulfport and all it has to offer, including marina and boat ramp, restaurants, coffee shops, beach, shopping, fishing pier, weekly farmers market, annual festivals, nightlife and more! Only 10 minutes from the award-winning St Pete Beach (Trip Advisor’s #1 Beach for 2021), and only 10 minutes to vibrant downtown St Petersburg and Tropicana Field.
