The City of Orlando Historic Preservation Board is seeking photographs from Orlando residents for the 2011 Historic Preservation Calendar. The City of Orlando has produced the Historic Preservation Board Calendar since 1991 as a depiction of Orlando’s treasured historic resources.

The 2011 calendar will feature historical assets of the Holden-Parramore Historic District in black and white photography that capture the District’s unique and distinct styles. The Holden-Parramore Historic District was placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior on September 23, 2009. This historically African American neighborhood encompasses most of the remaining historic resources from when the neighborhood developed in the early decades of the twentieth century.

The District is bound by West Church Street on the north, McFall Avenue on the west, Long Street and West South Street on the south and South Division Avenue on the East. The commercial section of the District is found along the south side of West Church Street between South Division Avenue and South Parramore Avenue and along both sides of South Parramore Avenue between West Church Street and Long Street. The District encompasses approximately 20 acres and contains a total of 106 buildings. There are five local historic landmarks within the District, including:

• Maxey-Crooms house at 638 West Anderson Street
• Ebeneezer Methodist Church at 596 West Church Street
• Well’s Built Hotel at 511 West South Street
• Dr. William Monroe Wells house at 519 West South Street
• Victorian House and Cottage at 541 West South Street
