Eugene Holtsinger

Eugene Holtsinger (- 1916) was a developer in Tampa, Florida. He helped create Bayshore Boulevard's first subdivision: Suburb Beautiful. A bridge over the Hillsborough River is named after him.[1]

Holtsinger moved to Tampa in 1905 from Dandridge, Tennessee and joined fellow Tennessean Alfred Swann in the land-development business, constructing homes in Hyde Park, Tampa, Ridgewood Park, Tampa, Ybor City and West Tampa. He developed the area now known as Channelside, Tampa and formed the Tampa-Sulphur Springs Traction Co., builder of the Garcia Avenue Bridge for streetcars running between Ybor City and West Tampa (replaced in 1959 by the bridge that bears his name).[1]
