Colonial revival homes have symmetrical facades
and classical details such as Colonial multiple light
windows, door surrounds and porches. The style
also includes one story Cape Cod houses.
The Craftsman Bungalow is a home design that
became popular at the end of the Victorian Era
and reflected the desire to depart from the
excesses of that age. The Craftsman Bungalow is
an open floor plan with wide, overhanging eaves.
Some common characteristics include walls
which taper inward from the foundation, ornate
decorative beam extensions and flared eaves.

was popular
throughout Florida during the 1 920' sand 1 930' s.
Key stylistic features include barrel tile roofs,
stucco walls and arched openings. Similar to many
other "romantic revival" styles of this era,
Mediterranean Revival homes derive their
features from a specific country or region of the
world. Here, the many hillside towns of Spain and
Southern Italy served as the inspiration for this
unique and beautiful architectural style.

BungalowFest home tour five years ago and fell in love
with the neighborhood so much that she moved here!
Jamie's 1 925 bungalow was home to the Mayor of St.
Petersburg in 1 925 and still has his original
shuffleboard court in the backyard. The home contains
the original built-ins in the dining and living room, as
well as beautiful coffered ceilings. Although the
bathrooms have been completely redone, Jamie kept the
original claw foot tub. She's also built a new addition
on the back of her beautifully renovated home.

Jaynie Voelz &P Reneé Kilroy's home was originally
located where the dog-racing track is located on Gandy
Blvd. and was eventually moved to Historic Kenwood.
The same family had owned the home until the couple
purchased it a year ago. Reneé and Jaynie wanted an
older home with charm in a historic and friendly
neighborhood for their 22 month old son, Zane. Their
1 926 bungalow features an open front porch, original
hardwood floors, a side porch. that was enclosed for a
third bedroom, and a main bathroom, which has all its
original fixtures and plumbing hardware. An addition,
which was built on the back of the house, includes a
second bathroom &P bonus room. The home also has a 2
car detached garage. Since living in their delightful
cottage, Jaynie and Reneé have upgraded the kitchen,
restored the floors, and installed new sinks in the
bathroom.

she read in the St. Petersburg Times newspaper, Betty

in place and represents a kaleidoscope of backgrounds

plants, and, fortunately, the original floor plan of the
bungalow has never been changed. Since she moved in,

Just over 5000 square feet, Debbie Cunningham's
i 920's massive Spanish Mediterranean style home
boasts two very distinct architectural details: its arched
ceilings and the huge fireplace located in the living
room - or 'ballroom', as it is sometimes caned. Although
the home has five bedrooms, one is used as an office,
and another, which contains a second fireplace, is
utilized as a family game room. Debbie and her son,
Jason, daughter, Jessica, and their three cats, moved to

house. A painting signed by Grace hangs in the living
room, but it is not known if it is a self-portrait.
Another previous occupant of the house was the man
who built Bay Pines VA Hospital and the St.

his passion for gardening. When he bought his house in
1983, it had just 1 pecan and 5 citrus trees in the yard.
Longtime Historic Kenwood residents Phil and Gina
Santmyer live in a compound of four properties that
remain. His work on the backyard began in 1 997 and
have been combined to provide retirement income and a
place to call home since 1988. Gina's parents, who
lived in the neighborhood more than 20 years before
today the only plant remaining from the old garden is
them, provided an opportunity for Phil and Gillà to buy
the aloe. Pete created a private area around the hot tub,
where he installed lattice and covered it with vines. He
loves gardening so much that he. removed his garage in
2003 so he could view his yard's beauty from the
house! Pete gained his horticultural knowledge from
their property when they wanted to move. The

afford, the home has allowed him to hone his carpentry
skills.
