    \n\n\n\n

    What to Expect<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Architecture:<\/strong> You’ll see a variety of styles characteristic of the 1920s Florida Land Boom, such as Craftsman Bungalows<\/strong>, Mediterranean Revival<\/strong>, and English Arts and Crafts Tudor<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Transportation:<\/strong> While it is a walking tour, shuttle buses<\/strong> (courtesy of Florida Southern College) will run between predetermined clusters of homes to help cover the distance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The “Secret” Lineup:<\/strong> In keeping with tradition, the specific addresses of the homes are not revealed until you receive your tour brochure at registration. However, local buzz suggests the historic Mosswood Manor<\/strong> is among this year’s highlights.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Accessibility:<\/strong> Note that many of these vintage homes have stairs or narrow porches, so not all interiors are ADA-accessible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      It\u2019s a great chance to see how these century-old spaces have been updated for modern living while keeping their original charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
