Building the Bank of Winter GardenMs. Bee’s Gourmet Popcorn and Candy Shoppe stands on the corner where the Bank of Winter Garden was constructed in 1908 after a fire leveled the wooden store that originally stood on the spot. The wooden businesses shown in this photograph burned in another fire four years later. The bank closed after the stock market crashed in October of 1929 and never reopened. In later years, a second story was added to the building it housed a drugstore, and professional offices on the second floor. The building burned along with two adjacent structures in 1960, and the replacement that stands today did not include a second story.
