TOUR STOP: The Gordon-Donda House

Designed by THE Alfred Browning Parker—Miami's "Maverick Modernist" and one of Florida's most celebrated mid-century architects!

Why it's legendary:

• Parker designed 500+ buildings in his 60+ year career

• Featured in House Beautiful magazine as a "Pace Setter"

• Sits on a full ACRE in Masonwood neighborhood

• Two hidden courtyards bringing light deep into the home

• Gated entry courtyard with waterfall flowing into koi pond!

The home is a stunning example of Parker's distinctive Florida modernism—mixing organic architecture principles with tropical flair. His work represents six homes he designed for himself and his family, showing his continued exploration of residential design.

Currently listed for sale by Mike Hastings, —tour it while you can!

TOUR STOP: The Lebowitz House

The Lebowitz House (1975) is late-midcentury magic! Designed collaboratively by Jill Lebowitz (who studied architecture at Butler University) and two recent UF architecture grads, this home shows how forward-thinking design evolved into the 1970s.

Experience:

• Dramatic wood-and-glass atrium

• Vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings soaring overhead

• Abundant skylights flooding spaces with natural light

• Expansive rear decks that function as outdoor rooms in the tree canopy

Set on a heavily wooded creekside lot, this home feels like a secluded retreat while being in-town! The property borders Hogtown Creek and embraces the natural landscape—trees, shade, and seclusion are the real luxury here.

TOUR STOP: The Rosé House

Only THREE owners in 65+ years! Harold Rosé built this home for his own family in 1957, and the care shows in every detail.

What's remarkable:

• Architect-builder designed it for his own family (lived here 1957-1961)

• Original design intent beautifully preserved

• Iconic two-way fireplace connecting living room and kitchen!

• Wood beams and paneling in PRISTINE condition



The second owners cared for it for 62 YEARS (1961-2023), ensuring that this home's authenticity remains intact—no modern alterations, just pure 1957 design!

This is your chance to see genuine mid-century living as it was meant to be.

TOUR STOP: The Camp House
Talk about dedication! Arthur Forrest Camp was the architect, electrical engineer, AND physical builder of this remarkable home—constructing it almost entirely by himself over several years while working and going to school!
Why it's amazing:
• Extraordinarily unique hand-laid Ocala block in varied sizes and colors
• Design centers around two magnificent oak trees (still standing!)
• Recently renovated with respect to Camp's original craftsmanship
Come see this testament to mid-century DIY modernism and visible craftsmanship!

• Stunning yellow glass panel in the kitchen door (recently restored!)
• Custom fireplace carving believed to be by original owner Dr. Fitzpatrick himself
The living room views are absolutely breathtaking—you'll have to experience them in person!
