  • City of Sarasota Historic Structures Survey January 2020 89
    City of Sarasota Historic Structures Survey January 2020 Harding Circle Historic District (SO00372) Inventory Location: Appendix A, A-161 Map Location: Appendix C, C-10 St. Armand’s Key is a 150-acre island, shaped as an oval, located in Sarasota Bay (Gulf of Mexico), west of the mainland, and is situated between Coon Key and Lido Key. St. Armand’s consists on commercial and residential structures. The commercial structures border St. Armand’s Circle. The residential structures surround the commercial structures in perpendicular and curvilinear streets. The NRHP nomination, completed in 2000, did not record any historic commercial buildings within St. Armand’s Key, and very few residential structures met the fifty-year criteria at that time. Despite the NRHP nomination’s period of significance maintaining its time period between 1924 to 1950, ESI recommends that the period of significance be expanded to the 1970s. 89 City of Sarasota Historic Structures Survey January 2020 Figure 73: Harding Circle Historic District boundary (see Appendix C, C-10). 90 City of Sarasota Historic Structures Survey January 2020 Laurel Park Historic District Inventory Location: Appendix A, A-166 Map Location: Appendix C, C-11 The Laurel Park Historic District is the largest residential NRHP district in Sarasota. It is generally bounded by Morrill Street to the north, Julia Place and Lafayette Court to the east, Devonshire Lane and Brother Geenen Way to the south, and Rawls Avenue on the west. The development is located within the land holdings of Owen Burns, who built the National Register-listed Burns Court district, and “encompasses all and parts of six historic subdivisions.” Most of the buildings were constructed between 1920 and 1957, although most development fell off following WWII (Building picked up again in the early 2000s).

  • The Historic Preservation Support Document
    The Historic Preservation Support Document The inventory and analysis in the Support Document provide the foundation for the Plan portion of this Chapter. The Support Document is not adopted. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF SARASOTA PALEOINDIAN CULTURE PERIOD (12,000 to 9,500 years ago) Paleoindians, the earliest known inhabitants of Florida, lived as nomadic hunters from 12,000 to 9,500 years ago. They roamed over a landscape very different from today. With a lower sea level, Florida’s coastline was much farther out, especially along the Gulf Coast. The total landmass of Florida was about twice the size as it is today and present day Sarasota was located inland. The climate was also different – arid and cool. Water was in short supply and the best sources for water were rivers and watering holes, such as the deep springs of Warm Mineral Springs and Little Salt Springs south of Sarasota. The cool and arid climate, as well as expanded landmass, meant a different array of plants and animals. Mammoths, camelids, and giant land tortoises existed during this period and fossils of these animals have been discovered in and around Sarasota. Typical plants of this period included scrub oak, pine forests, grass prairies, and savannahs. Archaeologists have discovered evidence of human campsites at Warm Mineral Springs and Little Salt Springs. Paleoindians camped around what were then sinkholes and artifacts discovered at these springs demonstrate how animals were killed, butchered, and eaten. Underwater archaeological excavations at Warm Mineral Springs and Little Salt Springs have expanded our knowledge of the Paleoindian period in Sarasota and Florida as well as the North American continent.
