Lord-Higel House

HELP US MAINTAIN THIS GEM OF VENICE HISTORY

 

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 $800,000 and invested thousands of hours to restore the house to its original glory. In addition, Venice Heritage has funded construction of an Accessory building housing an ADA-approved bathroom and access ramp to the house. The City of Venice has committed funds to complete the interior of the house.
