The Venezia Park Historic District is historic district located in Venice, Fl.    The boundaries of this area are Palermo Street, Sorrento Street, South Harbor Drive, and Salerno Street.  At the center of this area is Venezia Park.

   This park was part of City planner John Nolen’s plan for the city  of Venice.  The park was for recreation, walking and gathering.  Amenities include benches, bike racks, picnic areas.  The playground was updated in 2020.

     Following Nolen’s plan,the land was eventually developed by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.  It was meant to be  a community of upper scale single family homes.  The architectural style was Mediterranean Revival.  The predominant building was between 1925 and 1927

     The homes on Palermo Place and Nasau Street are predominantly single story.    The most elaborate homes are located on Venezia Parkway.

    Although most of the homes in the Venezia Park Historic District were built in the 1925 to 1927 time frame,there are exceptions.
