The Edgewood Historic District is a historic district designated as such on December 18, 1989. Located in Venice, the district is bounded by School Street, Myrtle Avenue, Venice-By-Way, and Groveland Avenue. Edgewood was designed by renowned urban planner John Nolen in 1926 and more than twenty-five of the original homes can be found on Groveland Avenue in a variety of architectural styles. Take a self-guided tour along this street, in one of Venice's oldest neighborhoods. Click here for a copy of the Edgewood Walking Tour Booklet. |
