This view looks over an area similar to that seen from the Robert Whitney Apartments in images made pre-1925. Now Ellis First National Bank and the First City Federal Savings and Loan buildings tower over the business district (background). The Manatee County Court House, built in 1912, is still there from earlier images, but is now missing its large cupola. Next to it, where the narrow two story wooden bakery stood, is now the Professional Building, built ca. 1925 on Manatee Avenue. The General Telephone (GTE) building and aerial dominate the foreground of the image. The various small shops seen at the center of the picture, and the parking lot, were replaced in the late 1980s with the County Administration building and two parking garages.
