Lord-Higel House

JOIN US IN SAVING THIS GEM OF VENICE'S UNIQUE HERITAGE

 

Constructed in 1896 by entrepreneur Joseph Lord, the Lord-Higel House is the second oldest house in Sarasota County. Acquired by the City of Venice in 2005, Venice Heritage volunteers have raised more than $300,000 and invested thousands of hours restoring the house to its original glory. Additional funds are needed to restore the interior and construct an outside ADA-approved bathroom and access ramp. Once completed, the first floor of the house will serve as an early settler museum and welcome center.
