Historic Mirror Lake Walking Tour with Preserve the Burg

Tour St. Petersburg's newest Local Historic District, Mirror Lake!

Designated as a LHD at the end of 2024, 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.

Attendees will walk about one mile over 1.5 hours. Please dress comfortably for the Florida weather, bring bottled water and wear comfortable shoes for walking.
