The Hallstrom's, from the late 1800's in Sweden and throught their lives they took hundreds of photographs documenting their lives, especially of their life when they settled in Indian River County. These are photos from very damaged slides from a wedding that was held in the house in the late 50's to early 60's. The automobile they are standing by is a 1956 Pontiac Sky Chief. Does any one know who they are? If you do, please leave a comment or send a message.

Full disclosure- the original slides were so deteriorated, it was impossible to repair using the standard photography editing apps. These were lightly edited using a Lightroom AI process. Adding the original scanned slide for reference.

The decades after World War 2 saw a burst of energy! Many of the buildings that the City of Vero Beach inherited from the US Navy at the Vero Beach Airport were repurpsed and reused. The three storied terminal and control tower could not be and was torn down. A new modern building would take its place and service the community for many decades. The architectural style would be Mid-Century Modern and utilize elements that had been refined during the War Years - glass, aluminum, plastics. Also, open spaces and distinct roof lines were part of this unique building style. Alas, even this modern building would not be big enough to hold the traffic that a modern Vero Beach Airport would have and a larger terminal was built.
