Lake Morton Historic Home Tours

Lake Morton Historic Home Tours The Lake Morton Neighborhood Association is excited to announce that the 18th Annual Historic Home & Garden Tour will be held on Saturday, April 2, 2022

The East and South Lake Morton neighborhoods were developed between 1906 and 1926, and have changed little in the past 80 years. Developed as Lakeland’s first significant suburb, the areas absorbed much of the city’s rapid growth during the first quarter of the 20th century. The neighborhood has been home to many of Lakeland’s leading governmental, business, and professional families. Today, the L

ake Morton Historic District contains Lakeland’s largest concentration of pre-1930 residential buildings and maintains a high degree of architectural integrity and historical elements. Although the development of these neighborhoods began around 1906, most of the houses were built during the Florida Boom between 1920 and 1926. This era provides the basis for the predominant architectural character of Bungalow and Mediterranean styles exhibited today. The area’s rolling topography and occasional angular or curvilinear streets and lake shores provide pleasant images, spaces and vistas, creating a character unique in Lakeland and rare in Florida cities. The presence of Florida Southern College’s Frank Lloyd Wright campus, the Lakeland Public Library , and the Polk Museum of Art , as well as several other architecturally or historically significant public and semi-public buildings, further support the neighborhood’s quality and character. The tour will begin at 11 am and is accessible by foot or shuttle bus. It will showcase examples of several different architectural styles such as the Federal Colonial Revival style, the English Arts and Crafts Tudor style, the Mediterranean Revival Style, and several Craftsman bungalows. Homeowners and greeters will be on hand at the homes to welcome participants and answer questions.
