If you haven’t been to a Colonialtown Monthly meeting lately, you’ve missed two of Orlando’s most notable history experts who were our guest speakers; City of Orlando Historian Preservation Officer Richard Forbes & Orlando Sentinel “Florida Flashback” columnist & writer, Joy Wallace Dickenson.

Richard Forbes presented the results of his architectural research of our homes in Colonialtown North. The four predominant periods and architectural styles represented are the Bungalow/Frame Vernacular (1910’s to 1920’s), Spanish Colonial Revival (1920’s and 1930’s), Minimal Traditional (1930’s and 1940’s), and finally the Colonialtown “Mini” Ranch and Atomic Ranch styles (1950’s). Richard also donated a large, 3’ x 4’ mounted map of Colonialtown North with year built dates of each home and lot in our neighborhood. We plan to encase the poster for permanent display at the recreation center. Check out the Colonialtown.org website to view a copy of Richard Forbes Power Point presentation with examples of the four predominant architectural styles in our neighborhood.
