History
Shore Acres was an area of pine woods, marsh and palmetto. The earliest plat map was filed March 1923. In 1925, Shore Acres Properties Inc. platted the overlook section with streets named after states. Nathaniel J. Upham, a developer from Duluth, Minnesota, began to sell tracts of land in the 1950s. The first large scale development was 350 homes around Butterfly Lake followed by Waterfront Estates, Venetian Isles and Ponderosa Shores. Ponderosa Shores was built partially on the site of an old golf course. By 1960, a 10 foot high map, long since gone, was erected at the Shore Acres Bridge as one crossed the bridge from Snell Isle. By 1964, the area was full of little streets and cul-de-sacs. The Postmaster asked City Council to rename some of the streets. Frankfort Street NE was renamed Venetian Boulevard NE.
