Description
Old Black Ford
by Debra and Dave Vanderlaan
... A beautiful old-world style courtyard and stairway in the European fashion accents this beautifully restored black Ford car, probably a 1929 or a couple years newer or older... This unique courtyard is a hidden gem in the middle of the island of Palm Beach, located at the Bethesda by the Sea Chapel, just a block away from A1A and just south of the famous Breakers Hotel...If it’s history you’re after, Bethesda-by-the-Sea has it. The first church in Palm Beach County stands just yards from the mighty Atlantic Ocean at the corner of N. County Road and Barton Avenue. Founded in 1889, the church occupied two smaller buildings before the current church was officially opened for its first service, on Christmas Day in 1926. Parishioners came by boat, often riding two or three hours to worship.
The Spanish Gothic church was modeled after the Cathedral at Leon in Spain. The corner stone bears the years 1513, the year Ponce De Leon first landed on Florida’s coastline, and 1925, the year they broke ground on the site. Secreted inside that stone is a letter from the King of Spain. The original design had a tall spire, but the first severe tropical storm dashed the hopes of copying that architectural element. www.CelebrateLifeGallery.com
