The Pier: 1889 to 1989
3 albums
In 1889, a 3,000-foot-long pier was constructed in downtown St. Petersburg for the Orange Belt Railway. The Railroad Pier was the first of four early piers preceding the opening of the 1,400-foot-long Million Dollar Pier in 1926. That pier was replaced in 1973 by the current pier, with its familiar inverted pyramid. The Pier, as it is known, is slated to be closed in May to make way for The Lens.
