Rigby's La Plaza Historic District, Historic district in Sarasota, Florida.

Rigby's La Plaza Historic District encompasses eight buildings and two objects arranged along South Osprey Avenue, Alta Vista Street, and Irving Avenue in Sarasota. These structures cluster between addresses 1002 and 1038 on South Osprey Avenue, forming a cohesive group that can be explored on foot.

The district earned its place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994, marking its importance for Florida's architectural heritage. This recognition was a turning point in how the neighborhood's historical structures were protected and valued.

The district's name comes from the Rigby family, who developed this part of Sarasota around a small plaza. The eight buildings and two objects listed on the National Register stand along South Osprey Avenue, Alta Vista Street and Irving Avenue, and the group is best read as a street-level ensemble rather than a single site.

Visitors can explore the district on foot to examine the architectural features of the buildings spread across the surrounding streets. A self-guided walk allows you to move at your own pace and take in the details of each structure.

The district's boundaries are unusually fragmented: besides the South Osprey Avenue addresses, it takes in just two parcels on Alta Vista Street (1744 and 1776) and a single one at 1777 Irving Avenue. The National Register listing, dated April 25, 1994, counts 8 buildings and 2 objects.
