Mount Dora Historic District

The Mount Dora Historic District is a neighborhood with early 20th century buildings spread across Alexander, Baker, Clayton, and Donnelly Streets. The structures display various architectural styles from that era and include residences, shops, and public buildings such as the old railway depot.

The district developed during the early decades of the 20th century as Mount Dora grew as a settlement and diverse buildings took shape. In 2009 the buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places, recognizing their importance to local history.

The district serves as a gathering place where the community regularly comes together, and streets fill with people during local celebrations and markets. The historic architecture provides the backdrop for these everyday social connections.

Visitors can walk through the streets and view the various houses and buildings up close or drive through the area. The best way to discover the main landmarks and historical structures is to take time exploring at your own pace.

Many of the old buildings here can be renovated by property owners while receiving support through special tax benefits for historic structures. This has helped keep the neighborhood maintained and buildings actively used rather than falling into disrepair.
