Orlando's historic districts are separate throughout the city, yet its landmarks and its memories unite them. Images of Orlando from 1875 to 2022 paint a picture of a landscape dotted with cattle and orange trees exploding into a bustling city. While some authors claim that Orlando's history is lost, these images show how the city's Historic Preservation Board has safeguarded many cultural and architectural treasures.

Fairhope, Alabama, was founded on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay in 1894 as a social experiment. The pioneers applied the single-tax principle and economic philosophy found in Henry George's 1879 book Progress and Poverty. The city of Fairhope was established in 1908 inside and around the colony, known today as the Fairhope Single Tax Corporation. This book celebrates the timeless Fairhope bay views and historic buildings and homes.
