Everglades Society for Historic Preservation
Dedicated to our Unique History
ACTIVITIES
The Historical Library is an archive of books, documents, pictures, and small artifacts housed in the ESHP office in City Hall. The collection may be used by historical researchers but items may not be removed. A computerized data base of books, periodicals, and scanned images is maintained (with backup off the premises).
The Vallez Collection consists of five original paintings by Naples artist Jerry Vallez of historic buildings in the area: Rod & Gun Lodge, old Inn, old Market, Smallwood Store, and JT's. ESHP has been given permission to sell prints and greeting cards.
The Commemorative Brick Walk in front of City Hall was started in 2006 and is an ongoing project. Bricks are permanent gifts for anniversaries, birthdays, thank-you's, and memorials. DOWNLOAD a Brick Order Form.
ESHP is also concerned with Historical Designations and Historical Signage for older buildings in the area.
