The Jewel Box Tea Garden in Tampa, Florida, is the subject of this photograph, dated to about October 19, 1923. The caption card lists tea parties, gardens and fountains as its subjects, which points to an outdoor social space where guests gathered for afternoon refreshments among plantings and water features. Tea gardens were popular gathering places in American cities in the 1920s, when Florida's rapid growth brought many new residents and visitors to towns like Tampa. Because these details come from an unverified caption card, the exact date and the garden's layout are worth checking against other sources.
