Walter Bellingrath (1869-1955) was born in Atlanta, Georgia. He moved to Mobile in 1903 and owned the local Coca-Cola bottling franchise, which netted him a fortune.

From 1917 to 1932, Bellingrath and his wife, Bessie Morse Bellingrath, turned their lodge from the humble place it began into a world-class garden, which they opened to the public in 1932. This image shows the home that the Bellingrath's lived in while at their fish camp. |
