Florida Country Club Jacksonville Florida 1929-1930
The Florida Country Club opened on the riverfront in Ortega in 1910, continuing for two decades until it folded in the Depression. The clubhouse was designed by New York architect Henry Bacon, who is best known for his design of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D. C, Bacon also designed a bungalow on Ortega Boulevard for his mother, but this house, like the country club, has been demolished for modern homesites.11 Many of the other homes of this early period of development still may be found in Ortega, most of which are of wooden construction. A second surge of development in Ortega occurred in the 1920's with the Florida band Boom. These houses are largely of masonry construction, reflecting the Mediterranean and Tudor Revival styles. In 1927 the present concrete bridge to Ortega was completed at a cost of $300,000.
Ortega's history spans two centuries of Florida's growth. No physical structures from the earlier period of Ortega still exist, but there are names such as McGirts Boulevard, Pirate's Cove, Sadler Point, and even the name Ortega itself to remind us of its colorful past.
