David A. Henry supplies the following information about the early photo: If someone from the era that this picture were taken could see a picture of the identical area taken today, they would no doubt be amazed at the progress of this area, in such a short period of time. This photograph was taken over what is now Imperial Drive and US19, looking North towards and into Port Richey. The east/west street in the lower portion of the photo, is now South Road. The marshy area in the lower left is the beginning of what was to become the Lake within the Imperial Mobile Home Park, next to K-Mart on US 19. Just across the two lane US19 is the site of Kane's Parking lot, and Gaede Auto Sales. South Road stops on the west of US 19, where we can see what appears to be an auto repair shop. Ironically, since the time this photo was taken, that spot has been in continual use as an auto repair shop. Just to the north side of the house that sits on US 19, in the lower central portion of the picture, is a building that remains standing, once known as the SunnySide Up Diner. Further north on the west side of the highway is an early mobile home park. That is now the site of Preferred Auto Repair/Sales. On the opposite side of the road there appears a store with an outbuilding. This is the site of today's USA Car Wash and Bank of America parking lot. One may also note that Main Street, the only other visible street connected to US19, did not cross the highway. We can also see the building that is in so many other early photographs of the US19 and Main Street intersection, which stands today as Cash Register Auto Insurance, and just to the north of that was the Highway Fruit Stand. The only other identifiable property in this photograph, aside from the many houses standing along the Cotee River on the extreme right of this photo, would be the River Bend Mobile Home Court. The west side of US19, and for the most part, a majority of the east side, was not developed until some 10 years later. The small home just across 19 at Main Street was later used as a gathering place, where beer, clams, and gossip were exchanged. It is now the site of Hess Gas Station. One can also see the Cotee River at its beginning with the Gulf to the upper left of the photo. As US19 veers off the to the east in the northern distance, one can see a well defined Pier Road continuing north to the shores of Miller's Bayou.
