Line drawing of the Okeechobee Courthouse. One of seven illustrations of county landmarks and points of interest along the Treasure Coast commissioned by First Fidelity Bank (1986-1990). Back caption reads "In 1917, Okeechobee County was formed from parts of Palm Beach, St. Lucie, and Osceola counties. Construction of the courthouse began in 1926 and was completed, at an estimated coast of $200,000, shortly before the major hurricane of 1928. After the storm, National Guardsman camping on the courthouse lawn used the courthouse as emergency storage for the caskets of hurricane victims, including seven unidentified bodies. One of a series of seven prints and postcards depicting historical landmarks and points of interest along the Treasure Coast of Florida. These illustrations are available exclusively through First Fidelity/Smart Money Centers."
