The building on the SW corner of US 19, used as a garage, has been leveled; however, the building south of that, built in 1945, was added to and became the Sunnyside Up Diner. It is currently vacant.

The road at the western termination of South Road, going north, is now Fiscal Drive. This road crosses over a small bridge onto what is now Treasure Island, terminating at Treasure Drive, located on Cross Bayou. Originally, Treasure Island was to be called TRAILER Island. However, prior to some of the homes being built, developer Kermit Klaserner (K.T.) saw the aerial photograph of the island and a trailer on what is now 6115 Fiscal Drive (as depicted in this photograph). He declared the sight "ugly" and banned trailers of any kind from being put on the island and adopted the name Treasure Island, which was filed for record on Feb. 15, 1960. Upon Mr. Klaserner's untimely death, his widow sold the remainder of the Klaserner holdings to the City of New Port Richey, and it is currently the city's water treatment facility, located on West Main Street.

The vacant lot on the NW corner of US 19 and South Road later became the site of a gas station, erected around 1967. A decade or so later, a horrendous explosion occurred, and the site was razed. Some years ago, excavation was commenced to remove the underground tanks. This site continues to be vacant and is used as an unofficial parking lot.

North of this vacant lot was a small mobile home park as shown in the photo. It is now the location of Preferred Auto Parts.

The SE corner of US19 as shown in the photo is the current location of Gaede Auto Sales, and the NE corner (lower right side of photo) became Ellis Bank, now Bank of America.

The wooded property to the SW (behind Jim King Realty) became Imperial Court Mobile Home Park. A portion of the "pond" or "Lake" is visible in the far left center of the Photo.
