Florida Project Spotlight
Retail Metal Building on Islamorada
This Spotlight features a retail metal building in The Florida Keys for the folks at Ocean Gardens. The project featured custom shaped windows on the gable ends to allow for as much light as possible inside the store and custom below eave canopies on the street facing sides.
Comfort and cooling costs dictated the use of high-r banding insulation in the roof which was left exposed for effect. Exposed HVAC ducting and custom nautical themed lighting add to the appeal of the interior. Custom finishes and quality interior buildout helped to make this project a stunning success.
Florida Project Spotlight
Commercial Steel Building Erecting
This Spotlight features a time-lapse video of the erecting of the Coppertail Brewery in Tampa. The 67′ x 179′ building with an eave height of 31′ easily provided space for brewing equipment, while meeting the wind load requirements of the Florida Building Code.
Partial walls for masonry and a trolley beam for a 4 ton crane add to the complexity of this project. High-r banding insulation help to minimize building cooling costs while providing a comfortable environment. Be sure to check out the building when you visit the Coppertail Brewery and enjoy some of the mastery of their craft!
The History of Deland
The area currently known as Deland was originally known as Persimmon Hollow for the wild persimmons that grew around the areas natural springs.
After visiting the area from New York in 1876, Henry Deland set sights on building a citrus and tourism center, bought the land, and named the town after himself. Deland invested in the town and built both a public school and Florida’s first private college (Deland Academy). Incorporated in 1882, Deland would become the first Florida city to have electricity.
The big Florida freeze of 1885 destroyed the orange crops in the area making investor’s Florida-investments nearly worthless prompting Deland to go back to New York. Upon leaving, Deland put his friend John Stetson (the notable hat-maker) in charge of his private college and it was ultimately renamed John B. Stetson University. Today, Stetson University is Florida’s oldest private college.
Deland is commonly referred to as the “skydiving capital of the world” as so many in the skydiving industry have made it home; no doubt in part due to the local Deland Municipal Airport. The small town has also attracted Hollywood as it has been the filming location for several films, documentaries, and an HBO miniseries.
