VENICE, Fla. (SNN TV) – A cottage in one of the oldest sections of Venice may be added to the local historical register.
The Venice City Council will consider an application for the cottage known as Edgewood Cottage or Myrtle Cottage. The Herald-Tribune reports the council will meet Tuesday at Venice City Hall at 9 a.m.
Landscape artist John Nolen designed homes in the early 20th century that envisioned a walkable mixed-use community. Edgewood was envisioned as a lower and moderate income neighborhood. Edgewood Cottage was built in 1930. It’s considered an example of the style of affordable housing in Nolen’s concept plan.
In July, the Historic and Architectural Preservation Board recommended that it be placed on the city’s historical register.
