1947 Du Pont Home Gardens Jacksonville Florida

This 1947 postcard captures the serene beauty of the Du Pont Home Gardens in Jacksonville, Florida, a lush and peaceful retreat from the bustle of city life. The gardens surrounded the stately winter residence of Alfred I. du Pont, the famed industrialist and philanthropist. Set along the St. Johns River, the estate featured carefully landscaped grounds with fountains, winding paths, and tropical plantings that reflected both European elegance and Southern charm. By the late 1940s, the home and its gardens had become a local point of interest, admired by visitors for their tranquility and grandeur.

This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
