The
Lake Eola Heights Historic District was created in 1989.
There are approximately 570 buildings in Eola Heights.
The Lake Eola Heights Historic District is one of Orlando’s
oldest and most architecturally diverse neighborhoods.
In the late 1800s, Mr. Summerlin purchased two hundred acres
around Lake Eola. Much
of the area had been planted for citrus groves in the late
nineteenth century; however, following the big freeze in 1895, the
area was subdivided for residential development. Vernacular clapboard farmhouses, built between 1890 and 1911, are
scattered throughout the neighborhood.
Other styles include Colonial Revival, Craftsman,
Mediterranean Revival, Mission Revival, Art Deco and Minimal
Traditional.
