Title
Flora Sun Architectural Drawing of Planned Apollo Beach.
Abstract/Description
Flora Sun bought Apollo Beach from the Corr Family when they could not complete the initial development. This drawing was an architectural drawing of Flora Sun's overall plan for the community. Very little of this was built by Flora Sun. Their project went bankrupt in a widely publicized banking crisis in the 1960s along with some illegal financing activity. The property eventually returned to the Corr family after a protracted legal battle that lasted 7 years.

Title
Waterfront: Apollo Beach, FL.
Abstract/Description
This booklet, created by Frandorson Properties was used to market the Apollo Beach subdivision. Frandorson Properties was created as a Michigan corporation in 1965, so it is likely that this brochure was created after 1965. It was in 1965 that Francis Corr reacquired Apollo Beach following a a protracted foreclosure proceeding against Flora Sun Corporation of Miami.
