Historic Mirror Lake Design Week Walking Tour

Historic Mirror Lake Design Week Walking Tour

Sunday April 13, 2025

Tour St. Petersburg's newest Local Historic District, Mirror Lake, as part of this special Design Week event.

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 Preserve the 'Burg Executive Director, Manny Leto, and PTB Board Member Emily Elwyn, will focus on the historical development of Mirror Lake and what the recently created Local Historic District overlay means for future development.

We will begin at and include a tour of the Unitarian Universalist Church. 

 Attendance is limited; advance registration required.

This tour is part of Tampa Bay Design Week.
