The Lively House sits on the next block over from the three previous houses I have shown you. Lewis M. Lively was a prominent civic leader and local businessman who operated the Middle Florida Ice Company and also established Lively Technical Center in 1937 with the hope that the vocational school would provide individuals with the education and training needed to obtain gainful employment and earn a living. This house was built in 1901.

This is also beautiful! Great series of old houses!
Good morning Lois! Beautiful house, such clean lines :)
What a great name. A Florida ice business, sounds like a cool idea ;) As always, Great photo, Lois.
Thanks for stopping by at our blog and leaving a kind message. We also appreciated the pictures of yours. Have a nice week! Maybe Gracie and Luna (www.weloveluna.blogspot.com) could be good friends! :-) Léia and Cezar
I am loving this series Lois. I did't realize Tallahassee had such great architecture.
Ah, another lovely home I'd like to roam around in. Glad you enjoyed my "groundhogs." :-)
impressive!
Lewis M. Lively must have been a man of great vision..
Luis, thank you. Always follow the blog know. Greetings from Istanbul.
Wow, this is a beauty! The eaves look so exaggerated. Is that a porch or solarium on the left side?? I love porches.
I think it's what we around here call a sunroom. It's on the east side of the house probably to catch the morning sun. I used to work a block away from this house about 30 years ago and I remember when it was a residence. You could always smell bacon cooking in the morning when you walked by.
