Valrico's Galvin-Carl House Dodges Wrecking Ball, Gets Full Restoration
315 N. Moon Ave. — Approximate Site of Brandon Home Restoration. A weathered farmhouse on Mulrennan Road in Valrico that once seemed destined for the wrecking ball is instead getting a full restoration. The Galvin-Carl House, built for early Brandon civic leader Daniel J. Galvin, had fallen into significant disrepair and at one point faced likely demolition, but its current owner has chosen to save it rather than tear it down.

Then and Now: Curtis Hixon Park
Tampa’s riverfront, from the 1880s through the 1940s, was devoted almost entirely to the shipping industry. Covered by wharves, railroad tracks and warehouses, it was economically important but pressure was growing to move this type of industry further south within the Port of Tampa. Tampa mayor Curtis Hixon, in 1955, proposed the construction of a large meeting hall and concert venue on the river somewhere between Lafayette (now Kennedy) and Cass. Hixon died the following year, but that idea endured and the Curtis Hixon Convention Hall was dedicated on January 24, 1965. It was Tampa’s largest venue and it allowed the city to host larger conventions and concerts, including Benny Goodman, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley and Janis Joplin, to name a few.
