Nestled in the lively area, the "Beach Dr. Inn" is a charming Bed and Breakfast that has captured the hearts of travelers since its construction in 1910 by Aymer Vinoy Laughner.

Aymer Vinoy Laughner was a prominent figure in the early development of St. Petersburg. Born in 1860, Laughner moved to Florida in 1885 and quickly established himself as a successful businessman, investing in real estate, railroads, and other ventures.

In addition to his business acumen, Laughner was known for his civic-mindedness and philanthropy. He served as the mayor of St. Petersburg from 1912 to 1913 and was a founding member of the St. Petersburg Yacht Club, the St. Petersburg Country Club, and the St. Petersburg Automobile Club. He also donated land and funds to help establish several parks and recreational facilities in the area.

Laughner's vision and determination were key to the development of St. Petersburg's tourism industry, which remains a major economic force in the region today. The Beach Dr. Inn, which he built in 1910, was just one of many contributions he made to the city's growth and success.
