The Old Carrabelle Hotel - World's Smallest Police Station? Carrabelle, Florida City Tour
This is Adam's trip to Carrabelle, Florida with Caroline. We thought we would include this on our channel. Hope you enjoy it.
Carrabelle's waterfront combines the authenticity of a working waterfront with the fun of recreational fishing and boating. Charter fishing is readily available. Carrabelle connects to 750,000 acres of public forest for hunting, hiking, birding, trail-riding or just enjoying the passage of eagles, deer, blue heron, osprey and black bear. White sand beaches at Carrabelle Beach, St. George Island, and Alligator Point beckon beachcombers, swimmers and snorkelers. A full-service airport provides for recreational flying as well as easy access to the area (X13).
In Carrabelle you experience Old Florida. There are no high rise hotels and condominiums blocking your view, no four lane traffic congestion, just beautiful beaches, rich river marshes, boundless wildflife and a genuine welcoming spirit.

The World's Smallest Police Station
The World’s Smallest Police Station is located in Carrabelle, Florida on US Highway 98 on the Forgotten Coast. The town is located on the Gulf of Mexico about 85 miles east of Panama City Beach. It is the town’s biggest tourist attraction.
In 1947, Albin Westberg became police chief and the only day policeman in Carrabelle. He and his night officers had to protect the citizens, answer calls, pump water for the tug boats at the city dock, catch speeders on US 98(old 319) and tend to all the prisoners in the jail at old City Hall. They needed help. In 1953 the phone company installed a phone in a call box bolted to the wall of the building on the north east corner of Tallahassee Street and the highway. The officers could answer the calls while out walking the beat. Then they began having problems with folks making unauthorized long distance calls on the police phone. Vandals loved to mess it up too.
Johnnie Mirabelle, St. Joe Telephone and Telegraph’s lone Carrabelle employee at the time, first tried moving the call box to another building, but the illegal calls continued. He also noticed the policeman would get drenched while answering the calls in the rain. When his company decided to replace a worn out phone booth, he decided to solve both problems at once by putting the police phone in the old booth.
On March 10, 1963, Mirabelle with the help of Deputy Sheriff Wilburn “Curley” Messer, moved the phone booth to its current site on U.S. 98 under the chinaberry tree. The Chief hired a man to do the lettering to mark it as the City of Carrabelle Police Station. It worked well and increased the efficiency of the two man police force. They could park the patrol car in the shade, do required paperwork, and listen for the phone while watching for speeders and other suspicious characters. The booth did protect the officers from the elements, but some people still snuck in to make long distance calls. Eventually the dial was removed from the phone, making it impossible for folks to call out. It continued to serve the police of Carrabelle for decades.
Sarah Purcell, the host of the television show Real People was visiting her father and discovered it. She had to feature it on the show in 1991 where they dubbed it as the “World’s Smallest Police Station.” Later that year Johnny Carson had a lively interview with the Carrabelle Police Chief Jessie Gordon Smith on the Tonight Show. It has been featured in other television shows, That’s Amazing, Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, the Today Show, and in the movie Tate’s Hell.
Carrabelle Police Station, (1980)
This is a short piece done by NBC's Today Show on the police department in Carrabelle, Florida. Anchors Jane Pauley and Tom Brokaw introduce reporter Tony Guida, who does the story. It includes an interview with Marvin Braswell, the police chief, and good footage of the town. The story focuses on the telephone booth on the main drag of Carrabelle, which serves as the police station.

Coombs House Inn, Owners (part 1)
Lynn Wilson & Bill Spohrer talk about their Bed & Breakfast hotel in Apalachicola, FL, the Coombs House Inn.
OVERNIGHT AT THE HAUNTED COOMBS HOUSE INN
In this video we spent a whole night in the haunted Coombs House Inn, Story has it that Mr. and Mrs. Coombs built this house and lived in it for a couple of years before it was damaged in a fire that started in the attic. While the house was being repaired Mrs. Coombs died of what people suspect is a broken heart from losing her house. Mr. Coombs died shortly afterwards. They were both buried in the cemetery directly across the street from the newly renovated house and are rumored to still haunt it.

John Gorrie sites in Apalachicola, FL
B-roll of sites connected to Dr. John Gorrie in Apalachicola, FL. A South Florida legislator wants Gorrie's statue removed from the U.S. Capitol, even though the early Florida scientist was the inventor of the ice machine and artificial refrigeration. His work led to air conditioning, which made life bearable in modern Florida. If you live in our state, please encourage your state representative to oppose House Bill 141.
