Drawing of Driftwood Inn in Vero Beach, c.1986

Line drawing of Driftwood Inn in Vero Beach. One of seven illustrations of county landmarks and points of interest along the Treasure Coast commissioned by American Pioneer Savings Bank (1986-1990). Back caption reads "Using natural cypress and pieces of lumber from buildings devastated during the 1935 hurricane, area pioneer Waldo Sexton built what is now the scenic Driftwood Inn. A collector by nature, Sexton became especially known for his vast accumulation of bells, which reputedly included a bell used by Harriet Beecher Stowe to call her workers. As Vero Beach grew, Sexton donated many of his bells to the newly-built churches. One of a series of seven prints and postcards depicting historical landmarks and points of interests along the Treasure Coast of Florida, these illustrations are available exclusively through American Pioneer Savings Bank."
