Honeymoon Row — the 1880s newlywed homes on Lake Minnie

A cluster of 1880s newlywed homes along the west shoreline of what was then called Lake Minnie (sources count five to six). Two survive — the Poyntz-O'Neal House (1887) and the Gunby House (1887) — both anchors of the district designation. The Poyntz-O'Neal House also carries Central Florida's first women's-suffrage-meeting parlor.
