Double Heads Country Store

Double Heads is about 11 miles south of Sylvania on U. S. Highway 301, once among the primary New York-to-Florida routes for travelers along the Atlantic seaboard. All that remains of the community is this abandoned store and an active Baptist church across the highway. But in its heyday, Double Heads (named for its proximity to the headwaters of two creeks) had a tourist motel, known as the Paradise Motel. It was opened in 1956 in a 14 acre pecan grove by Mr. & Mrs. John O. Perry, but I can find no trace of it today.
