CNI 1 IN 03/13/90 12265 0 Looking for Alligator Joe By: Jim Broton For over three years, I've been trying to find information about Warren Frazee, a.k.a. Alligator Joe. When I first heard about him I thought it would be easy. After all, Iread that around the tum of the century he was known all along the east coast of the United States. Surely someone over the years must've done some scholarly work on his life. I was expecting to find if not a whole book, at least a chapter on him somewhere. Or maybe someone's Master's thesis. But after three years of looking 1 haven't found anything like that, and although I think I now know more about Alligator Joe than just about anybody (I'm still hoping to find that elusive expert), there's still so much yet to learn. I started by reading what turned out to be the. best source of information – The Miami River and its Tributaries by Don Gaby. What I read there I soon found wasn't necessarily supported by what 1 wgs learning on my own. In the book I read that Alligator Joe had a tourist attraction at the junction of the Miami River and Wagner Creek (now the Seybold Canal) in the early 1900s. The book said that it was across the canal and not in Spring Garden. That contradicted what long-time residents had been telling A. 1918 Sanborn map. Note John Seybold's house (upper right) B. Enlargement of ca. 1918 aerial photograph of the same scene. C. "Alligator Joe's Bungalow in the Jungle, FLA" ea 1905... is this the large circular structure (above) and his Miami attraction? t me. So I turned to the newspapers of the day, which are available at the Metro -Dade Public Library on microfilm, and started . - looking for mention of Alligator Joe. I viewed several reels before I found definitive proof that Alligator Joe's attraction was indeed in Spring Garden, at the site of what is now Spring Garden Point Park. When I finally met Don Gaby after corresponding with him for about a year I was pleased to discover that he welcomed my research, and gave me leads to do more. He said that his book was the most detailed account of Alligator Joe that he'd seen, and he depended on interviews to fill in the blanks. In the past year, someone else found what has turned out to be the most useful piece of information so far about Alligator Joe. Bruce Barnes was going through aerial photographs at the Historical Museum of Southern Florida, trying to find evidence of boat docks at the site of Point Park. He found a photo of the southern tip of Spring Garden that was taken before there were many houses on the site. When I saw a photocopy of it, I immediately recognized its similarity to a 1921 Sanbom map of the site that I had reconstructed for the 1999-2000 Spring Garden calendar. The small inlet extending west from the Miami River is no longer there, and does not appear on later maps. Another recognizable landmark on the photograph is John Seybold's estate, visible in the upper right corner. Seybold built his house in approximately 1915, and he owned at that time the Point Park site (and indeed all of Spring Garden). I'm assuming that it still looked as it did before Alligator Joe died in 1915. Beside the inlet, there is another prominent feature on the site that appear to be surrounded by a driveway or walkway — a large circular building. When I saw it, a picture immediately came to mind of a postcard that I have (pictured) of Alligator Joe's "bungalow" that doesn't mention its location. Since I previously had not been able to find a description or picture of Alligator Joe's attraction, I don't know how it should look. But the aerial photograph leads me to believe that this is Alligator Joe's Miami attraction. The photo raises more questions than it solves. What is the circular area to the right of the large one? Is it, as Bruce suggested, a pit where Alligator Joe wrestled alligators? And where did Alligator Joe live with his wife Della? Could that be the rectangular structure on the map that isn't seen in the picture? The search continues. 1 � AN r K t lzv' 'T 1' .. i ."_ l.'' ki S � .a'+e1` .-1.� 'f ke r• r � i� - ��*` � - r Z' y,,,... �� "� '� i f•, c a. Y«':a r :�, � w. �' 1� tJ � `�„ : k.
