My Grandfather's Barber Shop

My grandfather opened and owned a barber shop in downtown Orlando beginning in September of 1927. It was located at 209 Boone Street and stayed in that location for at least 28 years. Eventually his shop had to move and he ended up at 126 South Court Ave. between E. Church and Pine Streets. His shop stayed there until the 70's when the building was sold and he closed his shop.

Many memories were had in that shop as my dad, Gene Reynolds, also barbered there for many years until he moved up in rank at the Orlando Fire department.
