The Lake City Historic
Commercial District consists of all or parts of fifteen
blocks in Lake City’s downtown commercial area. Most of the
buildings in the district front on North Marion Street,
which is part of U.S. Highway 441. During the historic
period the area of Marion Street between Railroad and Duval
Streets contained an almost unbroken line of commercial
buildings. Since World War II, however, a number of those
buildings have been razed. They have either been replaced by
modern buildings or their lots left vacant, creating an
obvious gap between some of the contributing resources of
the area. For this reason, the boundaries of the district
encompass two discontinuous areas, which share a common
period of significance and contribute to an understanding of
the extent of the city’s historic commercial sector.

The Lake Isabella Historic
Residential District consists of all or parts of thirty
blocks southeast of Lake City’s downtown area. The district
encompasses a large and concentrated collection of buildings
that reflect national trends in architecture during the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The area
surrounding Lake Isabella, was among the most desirable
locations for residential construction during the historic
period due to its natural beauty and close proximity to the
commercial downtown section.
The complete tour is available
by request.
