We'll Soon Be Posting Our Historic Building Time Line
The
King Richard's Antique Center was started 30 years ago (1979) by
Richard Bowlin and Jim Slevcove. Richard must have won the card game
since his name became famous...King Richards.
Before their antique center partnership, the site was used for another
purpose. Around the turn of the century (1903), the site was used for
citrus packing. The building is a historical building and is on the Local Register of Historic Resources (Citrus Assoc. Packing House)
