“This is SPP’s original walking tour. It follows a figure eight loop through downtown between Central Avenue and 4th Avenue North.

Learn about the beginnings of St. Petersburg in the 1880s, the boom of the early 1920s, and the Mediterranean influence on our architecture. You will get to see some of the boom era hotels (including the Princess Martha, Pennsylvania and the Dennis), some of our stately churches (including First United Methodist, St Peter’s Cathedral, and First Baptist), and some of our architectural gems including the Snell Arcade, the Open Air Post Office, and the Veillard residence.

Learn about and see photos of some of our lost treasures, including the Soreno Hotel, the LaPlaza and Florida movie theaters. The tour typically stops inside one or two historic buildings.”
