Winter Park Historical Museum
It seems the only historical information on the Gentile Brothers Company is little details, like pictures or the small The Rollins College archive had an entire folder devoted to Citrus Companies from Old Winter Park, and Gentile Brothers Company wasn’t even mentioned in the newspaper special about citrus companies in the area or the citrus magazine. There wasn’t even an ad. I took a trip to the Winter Park Historical Museum, and the older assistant there told me what the Gentile Company used to look like, and a little about the family’s prestige in the community. She was very helpful. The Winter Park Historical Museum was small but the people that work there know a lot of stories about specific subjects. The former mayor of Winter Park was also there, and my Friend and I got to meet him.
