Description
605 West Venice Avenue is a historic home built in 1926. It's just down the road from Venice Beach in the historic area of downtown Venice, Florida. It's a charming area with a canopy of live oak trees and a park. This is one of the three major homes built in Venice in 1926 for the executives of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. The BLE (Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers) played a large role in the early development of the city of Venice. This home was named Morada del Sur when it was built but is also known as the Lambert House. George T. Webb, President of The Venice Company, and his family were the first occupants. The home was purchased in 1949 by James N. Lambert, grandson of the founder of Lambert Pharmaceuticals. Lambert lived there until his death in 1990. Venice is a pre-planned community designed by John Nolen with parks throughout the city and Northern Italian Renaissance style homes. These homes built in the 1920's add a wonderful charm to the city. Over time some of them have been torn down for newer homes, so preserving these remaining historic gems is important for the city. Venice is an amazing city in Florida. It sits on the Gulf of Mexico on the west coast and has a beautiful beach, jetty, and pier. You have a couple places at the coast to watch beautiful sunsets each night. I love the architecture here, especially the buildings from the 1920's. Venice is known for its wonderful main street area and love of the arts. Venice is just south of Sarasota and is near Englewood, Nokomis, and North Port. I also have another version of this image that is painterly with brush strokes and canvas texture.
