A Bit About Historic Kenwood
Charles R. Hall, one of the top real estate developers in
early St. Petersburg, established the Historic Kenwood
neighborhood in 1912. He purchased and developed the
160-acre tract situated between 25th and 31 st Streets from
1 st Avenue South to 5th Avenue North. He donated one
square block to the City, which became Seminole Park adding a family atmosphere to his development. Today, the
the Historic Kenwood neighborhood are marked
by distinctive street signs maintained by area residents.
boundaries of
Most homes were built on site during the early 1920s. But
during the mid-1930s, approximately 170 were moved to this
area. More than 1,000 homes now make up Historic Kenwood
and 95 percent are considered contributing structures to our
official entry in the National Registry of Historic Places.
The housing in Historic
Kenwood is typical of early
St. Petersburg development.
The area has one of the
highest concentrations of
1920s Craftsman-style
bungalows in Florida.
Most have two bedrooms,

brick streets, large trees, and
garages facing alleys. Most
of the historic homes in our
neighborhood have original
hardwood floors, fireplaces
and large windows with lots
of natural light.
In 1990, there was a
resurgence in the area with the formation of the current
neighborhood association. The City began to view events
in Historic Kenwood as an example of how to successfully
restore a friendly neighborhood atmosphere. Since then, the
facades of many homes have been restored by removing
aluminum and vinyl siding, opening front porches to greet
neighbors, refinishing hardwood floors and custom built-in
cabinets and restoring hardware and decor to period.
Although almost 100 years have passed since the original
development of Historic Kenwood, very few homes have been
destroyed and most renovations have kept the architectural
integrity of the original structures intact.

A Bit About Bungalows
A bungalow is a one or one-and-a-half story house of simple
design, expressed structure, built from natural or local
materials, with a low-slope roof, overhanging eaves, and a
prominent porch, built during the Arts and Crafts period in
America (approximately 1900-1930).

It is generally agreed that bungalows descended from
thatched Bengali peasant huts in India, called variously
"banggolo," "bangala," or "bangla" (depending on who's
translating). The British altered the native dwelling into
something that conformed better to their idea of what a
house should be, and built these Anglo-Indian bungalows
in compounds outside of the cities, towns and "hill stations"
where the Europeans would go in the summer to get away
from the heat. Eventually the bungalow was exported to all
corners of the British Empire as being the proper sort of
house for Europeans in the tropics.
because these houses were informaL. No fancy parlors here.
Often you can see into the dining room as well, which may
be separated only by built-in bookcases or columns. The
main feature of the living room is the fireplace, which was
the center of family life.
Natural wood and colors from nature were the order of
the day. Textiles helped to soften the room (as well as the
furniture). The embroidery could also be purchased as a
kit, and both women and men were encouraged to do some
sort of handcraft to personalize their home, and to decorate
with materials from nature.
Unlike today, meals were eaten in the dining room, which
usually had a built-in china cabinet, as well as paneling and
a plate rail for displaying plates and other artful objects.
The bedrooms in a bungalow tended to be much simpler
and lighter than the formal rooms, and often had painted
woodwork. Children's rooms often had ~pecial wallpaper
or borders illustrating nursery rhymes or other themes.
Stenciled or embroidered bed linens were fashionable.
usually only one. A wall-hung or pedestal sink was the
norm, and a claw-foot or built-in tub. 1" white hexagonal
tiles were a common flooring materiaL. These bathrooms
were distinguished by their whiteness, coming during a
time of obsession with sanitation and cleanliness. Later
on in the 1920s and '30s there was an explosion of color
in bathrooms, so houses from that time are more likely to
have wildly colored bathrooms.

Sharon and Dan have only been in their 1938 cottage-style
Tudor for a few months, but they already like the 'artsy and
eclectic' neighborhood. There wasn't much that needed
to be done since the home had an enclosed front porch,
beautiful hardwood floors and a
large yard with many mature trees.
Sharon added a herb garden to the
front yard and they've done a few
projects inside, which you'll see.
Sharon and Dan moved to Kenwood
because they got a nice home for a
reasonable price, they like the dynamics of
the neighborhood
and the proximity to the marina and downtown. They live
here with their bird, Captain Morgan.

Home Style: Craftsman Bungalow
Joanne's home does double duty in Kenwood. First job: it
sits as an amazing example of a Craftsman-style bungalow.
It has original hardwood floors on the porch and throughout
the home, a lovely pink 'boudoir' and a claw-foot tub. Combine that with antique and vintage decor and furniture and
you have a stunning property.
Home Style: Vernacular Bungalow
If you are addicted to the new reality shows about hoarding,
you'll really appreciate this 1930s
bungalow that was recently
renovated by Historic Kenwood's
resident flipper, Kathy Young.

creative and caring neighborhood," Joanne explained.
In addition to emptying and cleaning the place from top to
bottom, she re-did the kitchen and bathroom, refinished the
floors and painted throughout.

Tudor Revival: Enormously popular in the 1920s and 1930s,
some Tudor houses mimic humble Medieval cottages -- they may
even include a false thatched roof. Other Tudor homes borrow
ideas from late Medieval palaces. They may have overlapping
gables, parapets and beautifully patterned brick or stonework.

ANTIQUES AND FINE ART
Address: 2650 Dartmouth Avenue North
Home Style: Tudor Revival
Sandy fell in love with his 1940 2/2/2 Tudor and its many
windows 10 years ago. Since then, he's refurbished most
of those windows and remodelled a sun
room off of his
kitchen to take advantage of all
the natural light.
He's also updated the electric,
redone the roof, painted,
refinished the hardwood floors
and created an inside laundry.
Sandy moved to Historic
Kenwood for the brick streets,

downtown. He lives in his home
