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 Fort Myers
Named after Colonel Abraham Myers, who was the quartermaster general if the Confederate Army, Fort Myers military significance dates back to the early/mid 1800’s and the second Seminole War.
Later during the Civil War, Confederate blockade-runners and cattle ranchers were based in Fort Myers and found it very profitable dealing with both Seminole and Union soldiers.
After the Civil War, the community of Fort Myers was founded by Civil War Capital Manual Gonzalez in 1866 when he settled his family near the then abandoned Fort Myers. Gonzalez opened the area’s first trading post which resulted in a larger community developing around the trading post.
Nearly 20 years after its founding, it was incorporated. Like many other small towns at the time, the growth of the area increased greatly with the arrival of the railroad in 1904 and today Fort Myers is home to a population of nearly 65,000 people.
Famous 20th century residents included both Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, both of whom had summer residences in Fort Myers. The Edison Bridge is aptly named after Thomas Edison and Henry Ford’s winter estate is owned by the city with public tours available.
