 Proceed up Indiana Avenue to its intersection with Woodland Boulevard.  116 West Indiana Avenue - Former Courthouse Pharmacy 112 West Indiana Avenue - Former title insurance company. 110 West Indiana Avenue - The first story of this build- ing was built in 1905. Nineteen years later a second story was added. The origi- nal deed was recorded in 1902 by the law partnership of Cary D. Landis and Bert Fish. Though difficult to confirm, it is believed that the partnership, still in existence, is the oldest law firm in the state of Florida.  The building is constructed in the Federal style and has as its main facade a Ro- manesque entrance on the first story, which is straddled by two windows that repeat the decorative motif and fan- light found in the entry. Over the windows is an eagle motif. The dentiled cornice, whose lines are interrupted over the central portion of the building by a short gable pitch, runs across the front facade.  Cross the street here and stand just a moment. You don't have hours to gossip or shoot the breeze, but this cor- ner was known as the hitch- ing place for horses and men to stand and chat. Affectionately referred to as the Buzzard's Roost, many a gentleman had to hear it from his wife if he stayed at the roost too long. |  | ||
