The Lake Cherokee Historic District consists of 16 square blocks and is primarily residential. Building activity began in the 1870's when the Lake was known as Lake Minnie. Five homes built by newlyweds along the western shoreline of the lake in the 1880's became known as "Honeymoon Row". Residences were constructed in the Craftsman style, like those at Hovey's Court as well as Queen Anne & Mediterranean, Tudor and Colonial Revivals. The eclectic Shingle/Neoclassical style Peleg Peckham-Dr. Phillips House (1893) on North Lucerne Circle East is representative of early architecture of the City.

The Lake Copeland Historic District was developed in the 1920's and 1930's as an Orlando suburb for residents desirous of living away from the City's burgeoning Downtown. A mixture of Colonial, Mediterranean and Tudor Revival style houses, as well as the bungalow and Minimal Traditional forms can be found among the approximately 100 residences. Celebrated local architects, including James Gamble Rogers II, designed many of the City's fine homes in this neighborhood during the early Twentieth Century.
