The City of Orlando has produced the popular Historic Preservation Board Calendar since 1991 as a depiction of Orlando’s treasured historic resources. The Lake Adair-Lake Concord Historic District is a part of the College Park neighborhood. The district was placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior on December 30, 2011. The borders of the district are roughly Golfview Street to the north, Westmoreland Drive and Edgewater Drive the east, Peachtree Street to the south and Edgewater Court to the west. Please see the attached map for exact boundaries.
The Lake Adair-Lake Concord Historic District comprises more than one historical subdivision with the majority of plats filed in the 1920s as part of the Florida Land Boom. However, as a result of the bust of the real estate market in 1926-27, settlement remained scattered throughout the district during the late 1920s and into the 1930s. Construction of new residences resumed in the late 1930s and early 1940s as the economy recovered and relatively few vacant lots remained within the district by 1956. A variety of styles reflecting architectural trends from the early- to mid-twentieth century are represented in the district including Bungalow, Colonial Revival, Contemporary, Craftsman, Dutch Colonial Revival, Folk Victorian, Frame Vernacular, French Eclectic, International, Italian Renaissance Revival, Masonry Vernacular, Mediterranean Revival, Minimal Traditional, Mission, Monterey, Neoclassical Revival, Prairie, Ranch, Split Level and Tudor Revival.
