To
quote the mayor's web site: "The Old Southeast Neighborhood began
in mid-1950 when C.A. Harvey and A.F. Freeman's Bayboro Investment Co.
bought the land east of 4th Street between 7th and 19th Avenues South
around Booker and Salt Creeks as well as Bayboro Harbor. Mr. Henry built
a home, what is now Bayboro Bed & Breakfast, and resided there while
the company continued to develop the area. Another early resident,
Judge Robert B. Lassing, donated waterfront land to the City in 1924,
with the proviso that it and any structures on it are to be used only
for park purposes. The City acquired additional land in 1926, 1944, and
1945 for the park. On January 8, 1942, Lassing Park was dedicated and
has continued to provide solace, enjoyment and beauty to the neighborhood
residents and visitors."
