What is in The Lake Morton Historic District?

Actually not to much other than quite a few homes. That doesn't matter to much because South Florida Avenue (on the western side) is where you find a lot of the restaurants, services and stores in Lakeland. After all Florida Southern College borders the district and how many areas in the United States are adjacent to such a fine college?

Most, and I do mean most of the homes here were built between 1901 and 1950. Lakeland was incorporated in 1885 and as usual the best locations are the first places homes are built. The area between Lake Morton and Lake Hollingsworth was not left untouched for very long.
