Griffin Park, Building No. 726 (Residential), 520 Callahan Street, Orlando, Orange County, FL
Summary
Significance: Listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1996, the Griffin Park Historic District maintains historical significance in the areas of Community Planning and Development, Politics-Government, Social History and Ethnic Heritage as it exemplifies Post-Depression era attitudes towards segregation and represents low-income housing for the city's black residents. Numerous early twentieth-century Frame Vernacular homes were destroyed to accommodate the construction of Griffin Park; therefore the Griffin Park development symbolized a new direction in the planned growth of the local black community. Architecturally, the Griffin Park Historic District is significant as an example of late-1930s public housing. These Masonry Vernacular buildings represent the architectural style, construction methods, and building materials of the period. In addition, this historic district reflects the design of a team of Orlando's most prominent architects known as the Associated Orlando Architects. This group included local architects such as Arthur Beck, Maurice Kressly, F. Earl DeLoe, Howard M. Reynolds, and Richard Boone Rogers

This is another AI-assisted collection, this time it features 20K+ images of manors. A manor is a large country house with lands, the principal house of a landed (country) estate. This collection took about 15 minutes to make, including adding about 18,000 relevant images as "manors" and removing portraits of people with "Manor" last names. Of course, image recognition was already done before and that process required much much longer time and machine resources. Please contact us if you need large image sets or need to tag your own large collections using our neural networks.
