Nilson Manufacturing Corp - Haines City, Florida

35450 US 27 - I couldn't count the number of times I've passed this building in my life before finally stopping to photograph it three years ago. 

**UPDATE**  A friend alerted me today that this building was torn down just this week.  Such a shame.  Had I known I might have tried to get my hands on some of the patterned blocks.

Polk Hotel, Haines City, Florida

800-810 Hinson Avenue - The Polk Hotel (also called the Palm Crest Hotel) was built in 1925. The structure was designed by Stevenson & Cameron, Wallick, Frederick. It was added to the National Register Of Historic Places in 1994. The building is currently home to the Landmark Baptist College. It's easy for this building to grab attention as it towers over everything else around it and is visible for some distance. According to the college website the building has been refurbished. I have no idea what the inside is like but the outside looks like it could use more work and by someone with an eye for historic details. Overall it's in better shape than many other buildings of the same period that I've seen.
