Historic Mirror Lake Walking Tour
Saturday, December 20, 2025 at 10 AM
Tour St. Petersburg's newest Local Historic District, Mirror Lake!
Designated as a LHD at the end of 2024 after years of hard work by Mirror Lake residents and Preserve the 'Burg board members and volunteers, Mirror Lake and its surrounding neighborhood are a special part of the 'Burg. While it is just blocks from Central Avenue, the area has its own sense of place, with an array of historic buildings including the 1916 Carnegie Library, and the 1924 St. Petersburg Shuffleboard Club among many others. The area still retains much of its historic integrity and is a part of the Downtown National Register Historic District in addition to its new distinction as a local district.
This tour, led by former PTB president Emily Elwyn, will be a leisurely stroll around Mirror Lake, taking in the best of the past as well as discussing changes on the horizon.
$10 for PTB members and $20 for non-members.
We will begin at and include a tour of the Unitarian Universalist Church.
Attendance is limited; advance registration required.
Bridges, Beauties, and Busts: Walking in Snell’s Footsteps
Saturday, January 3, 2026 at 10 AM
Walk the path of Perry Snell, the complicated man who built neighborhoods, parks, and clubs that defined early St. Pete.
From the Woman’s Club to the iconic Snell Isle mansions, discover the stories of bridges built, fortunes lost, and beauty preserved. The community’s resilience endures even today, as seen in the recovery and renewal following the devastating 2024 hurricanes.
Along the way, we’ll uncover quirky tales—from a Moorish-style clubhouse to an art collection housed in a tower overlooking Tampa Bay. It’s history with flair—just the way Snell would have wanted.
PTB members are $10; Guests and non-members are $20/person.
Tour reservations are strongly recommended, space is limited.
Tour will meet in the parking lot of the St. Pete Woman's Club
40 Snell Isle Blvd NE
