“SYDONIE MANSION HOLIDAY TOUR WITH SHOPPING IN MOUNT DORA”

Activity Level: 3

Established in 1883 and remodeled by famous architect Grosvenor Atterbury in 1903 and is the only example of his work in the State of Florida. Fashioned after Alhambra Castle in Spain, she is in the style of Mediterranean Revival.
Sydonie was once said to be the most significant residential structure in all of Florida. With a total of 42 rooms and over 22 thousand square feet, Sydonie reflects an era of craftsmanship and unique architecture difficult to find in modern homes. Once a 9000-acre preserve, Sydonie’s grounds originally included sculptured gardens with rare plants from around the world, citrus groves, a dairy farm, a power plant, and even a bowling alley.

Step back in time with us as we share this unique history and architecture. A 90-minute guided walk through, with all the new elaborate designer decorations for Christmas.
