Historic Area
Bayshore Boulevard has been an iconic place to live for many years. In fact, the luxurious location has quite a history.
Originally built in 1914, developers Alfred Swann and Eugene Holtsinger built a two-lane brick road, 1 mile in length, from Swann Avenue to Rome Avenue.
Bayshore Drive, as it was then known, consisted of residential properties and scenic views, and was quickly given the nickname, “Boulevard of Dreams.”
Throughout the next century, Tampa, Florida saw a plethora of buildings and population increases. From residential homes to new hospitals and shopping areas, the street increased in length to connect different areas of South Tampa.
In 1994 and 2011, Bayshore underwent major renovation projects to beautify and repair the sidewalk. Now this area is home to hundreds of visitors a day and is even the location of the famous Gasparilla Parade each year.
