St. Petersburg Pier

Posted by Barbara (Florida, United States) on 22 March 2008 in Cityscape & Urban.

Known as the “Jewel of St. Petersburg,”
The Pier is an integral part of Tampa Bay history. Owned and operated by the City of St. Petersburg, it has been an institution in the city since 1899, when city founder Peter Demens first brought his Orange Belt Railroad to connect to the wharf. But what residents remember most is 1926 Million Dollar Pier, predecessor to the current building, that was torn down in 1973. In 1988, the pier was renovated and re-opened as part of the major redevelopment of downtown St. Petersburg.
