Once a part of the Dubsdread Country Club, these wall paintings were uncovered and rescued (two others were accidentally demolished) during a renovation of the historic building and were eventually restored and installed in the new College Park Community Center. The panel pictured depicts two Ibis birds in flight.
About the Artist
Sam Stoltz
Sam Stoltz, 1876-1952, was a Florida-based realist/representational painter known for his romantic landscapes. Sam Stoltz was destined to design some truly imaginative and unique homes in and around Orlando. He may have grown up on the family farm in Humbolt, Nebraska where his Pennsylvania Dutch parents had settled, but his architectural and decorative creations in Central Florida continue to be of great interest today.
