Nearly-century old Orlando Lubbe House could get historic landmark designation

Orlando’s Historic Preservation Board voted just before 6 p.m. Wednesday to designate the city-owned Lubbe House at Lake Eola as a historic landmark. The decision follows a public hearing over whether the nearly 100-year-old home in downtown Orlando should receive historic protection. Some residents and preservation advocates had expressed concern that the house could eventually be demolished because it is owned by the city.
