Land-boom builder behind the Rhodesbilt Arcade.
Contractor and real estate agent Jesse T. Rhodes built the Rhodesbilt Arcade on Park Avenue between 1924 and 1926, during Florida's land boom. Locals said Polk County built good roads, and "Good" Rhodes built Lake Wales.
The Mediterranean Revival arcade, which runs from Park Avenue through to Stuart Avenue, is part of the Lake Wales Commercial Historic District, listed on the National Register in 1990. WorkLW occupies Suite 37.
