She became known for her lavish gardens and for hosting lavish parties. She bequeathed her property to the City on her death in 1923. The garden was later paved over to become a parking lot, which doubtless her spirit disapproved. By way of expiation, the parking lot was named ‘Meres Park’ and this mosaic was created to perpetuate Amelia Meres’ memory.

CSX had just received permission to abandon their line from Tarpon Springs to Dunedin. As part of the Tarpon Springs centennial, CSX agreed to run six final trips on the line using two of their heritage passenger locomotives, F3A Number 116 and FP7A Number 118, on March 7-8, 1987. The train ran in a push-pull configuration, with seven coaches from the Florida Gulf Coast Railroad Museum and from CSX. Here the crowd gathers around the train in Tarpon Springs on March 8th.
