Fort Lauderdale's Victoria Park - then and now


January 1925


This advertisement came out less than two years before the devastating hurricane of 1926. It was the storm that ushered in the Great Depression in Florida before it cast its shadow across most other states.

And today? Recent sales include homes from $490,000 to well over $1 million. Others on the water fetch the highest prices. The area, which sits behind the Gateway Theater and along the Middle River, includes 30 percent of Fort Lauderdale's historically significant properties. About 7,000 residents call this beautiful neigborhood home.
