Canceled: Cade Allen House at Mirror Lake Porch Party

Cade Allen House at Mirror Lake Porch Party

Wednesday, October 15, 2025 at 6 PM

Postponed

We regret to share that the Cade Allen Porch Party scheduled for Wednesday, October 15 has been postponed.

The good news is, we got a sneak peak of the house yesterday, and the effort to bring this historic icon back to life is firing on all cylinders. Masons, carpenters and electricians were everywhere, attending to every detail.

But, while we were very much looking forward to touring the home with you, it's just not quite ready to safely welcome the general public.

We appreciate your understanding and continued support of Preserve the ‘Burg’s mission to celebrate and protect St. Petersburg’s unique historic places.

Join Preserve the ‘Burg and Backstreets Capital for a tour and talk at the historic Cade Allen home on Mirror Lake that is currently undergoing a complete restoration.

Most recently used as an office space, the restoration team is returning the structure’s intended residential purpose while highlighting its historical and architectural significance. Cade Allen, for whom the Allendale neighborhood is named, built the family home at Mirror Lake in 1937. 

This project showcases the possibilities of new development working hand in hand with historic preservation. Backstreets Capital’s founder and president Will Conroy stated, “Our aim is to maintain and enhance the craftsmanship of the original interiors and exteriors while incorporating the modern amenities that today’s luxury homeowners expect. This home will be truly one-of-a-kind, offering its future owner a unique chance to own a piece of St. Pete history.”

The community conversation will be led by PTB Executive Director Manny Leto and include insights from Will Conroy (Backstreets Capital Founder and president),  local architect Elizabeth Hallock (EDAD Studio), Cassie Gardner (CEO, ALL Trades Historical Restoration), and leading general contractor Mike Fox (Fox Building Company).

Light refreshments provided and a donation bar is available courtesy of Backstreets Capital
