The City of Orlando has produced the popular Historic Preservation Board Calendar since 1991 and each is an exceptional depiction of Orlando's treasured historic resources. The photos in each calendar are selected from submissions from the community as part of a photo competition. The calendar themes are chosen every year by the Historic Preservation Board.

2010 Historic Preservation Board Calendar Photographic Competition

This year’s competition showcased Orlando’s two historic train stations:

  • The older station, at 76 West Church Street, was built in 1889 and opened on January 14, 1890. The brick station is designed in the late Victorian style. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is an Orlando Historic Landmark and an important part of the Downtown Historic District.

  • The newer station was built at 1400 Sligh Boulevard and is designed in the Spanish Colonial- Mission Revival style which was popular during that time period. The station was constructed in 1926 and opened on January 11, 1927 with more than 6,000 people attending the ceremonies. The building currently houses the Amtrak Station and is one of the busiest rail stations in the south. The station was listed as an Orlando Historic Landmark in 1978.

The competition for the 2010 calendar resulted in over 140 photos submitted. The images submitted were of very high quality and the winning 13 images were a difficult decision. Click here to see all of the images submitted for judging.
