North End of Pawleys Island

This photo of the north end of Pawleys was taken ca. 1940 from the water tank situated at the corner of present day Myrtle and First Avenues. Note the Florida Apartments with awnings on the right. Built by "Frenchy" Cribb of Tavares, Florida, the structure had two apartments up and two down. The second house north was owned by Mr. Layton, who operated a local real estate company and rented out cottages. Across Atlantic Avenue on the right was Joel King's house and further north was his bowling alley and Johnny Campbell's drugstore. The third house on the left, now with renovations, is presently Myra and Glenn Cox's home. The creek road was eventually straightened out and ran along the edge of the marsh, further left.
