History Project

Today, Hilary, Mikita and I went to the Winter Park Historical Library across from Rollins to try and research more information on the Gentile Brothers. We thought we would find more information over there since thats what we were told at the Archive center back at Rollins but in fact they only had a few things. Its getting a little frustrating because there is really little information on them, which makes this project so much harder. What I did learn though is that the Gentile Brother's Company was a very successful citrus company in Central Florida. They were located strategically next to the railroad which helped them advance economically. Also, the Gentile Brother's Company is now a successful enterprise located at Cincinnati , Ohio. Though, the company is not directly affiliated to the actual brothers even though it originated from them. We've contacted another archive center in Lakeland and hopefully we will be able to get more information soon enough :-)
