General Note
Richard Parks began working at Evon Streetman Photography in Tallahassee ca. 1963. Streetman later sold the business and studio to Parks when she moved to Gainesville about 1965. The studio was renamed Richard Parks Photography.
Accompanying note: "The Tallahassee-to-Saint Marks Railroad began operations in 1837. It was initially begun by the Tallahassee Railroad Company, Incorporated in 1834. The road was single track, twenty three miles long, and originally had mule-drawn cars. In 1839 a steam locomotive was added and the line extended to Port Leon. With a seaport terminus to serve a rich agricultural hinterland, the railroad did a large volume of business in transporting cotton during the ante-bellum period. Although track and equipment have modernized, the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad still operates freight trains over much of the original route today."
