Tampa Florida USA-1960: Two Story Home With Palm Trees And White Patio Umbrella

Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit

Serves mid-century American suburban lifestyle segments; useful for 1960s Florida social history documentaries, real estate history productions, or nostalgia-driven commercial spots.

Period detail

Two-story Mediterranean Revival stucco house with dark tile roof and striped window awnings; architectural style and lot presentation are consistent with Florida residential construction of the late 1950s–early 1960s.

Home-movie behavior

A deliberate slow pan across the full house facade suggests the filmmaker was documenting the property itself — likely recording a family home or notable residence for personal memory.

What appears in frame

Two-story cream stucco house, dark tile roof, striped window awnings, manicured green lawn, palm trees, dense tropical foliage, lounge chair on lawn, clear blue sky.

Film character

Warm, saturated 8mm color stock with visible grain and mild vignetting at frame edges lends an intimate, period-authentic texture typical of early-1960s amateur film.

Edit role

Functions as an establishing exterior shot or slow-pan insert for mid-century Florida suburban sequences; works as a property memory-beat in social history or real estate history documentaries.

Historical context

Mediterranean Revival-influenced residential architecture was widespread in Florida by the 1960s; the manicured lawn, palm plantings, and shaded awnings reflect the domestic aspirations common to postwar Sunbelt suburban growth.

Research note

No individuals appear visible; the footage depicts a private residential property — verify current property rights obligations before commercial broadcast or advertising use.
