Colonial Estate

Colonial Estate is a National Register of Historic Places house in Orlando, Florida, designed in the neoclassical style. The structure displays symmetrical proportions, four white columns framing the front entrance, double-hung windows, and a central portico that exemplifies the classical architectural language of this design period.

The house reflects how residents of its era valued neoclassical design and its formal expression of status and taste. The visible features like columns and window arrangements show what ideals the occupants wanted to display to visitors and neighbors.

Visitors can tour the property through guided visits available Thursday through Sunday. Groups and those interested in photography should arrange their visits ahead of time to accommodate special needs.

The house preserves original design elements from its construction period, including period-specific moldings, window treatments, and interior floor plans. These details reveal how people actually lived and arranged their homes during that era.
