Historic Venice apartment buildings sell for $4 million

Three Venice apartment buildings built in 1925 have sold to a private investor for $4.07 million.

The apartments at 504, 508 and 512 Armada Road S. are part of the Armada Road Multi-Family District, which, according to a 1989 National Register of Historic Places application to the U.S. Department of Interior, “is a series of two-story Mediterranean Revival style apartment blocks.”

The application, submitted by Florida’s Division of Historic Preservation, says that the seven structures in the district were completed between 1925 and 1927 by Tampa builder, M. G. Worrell who worked for the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. The homes are on the 400 and 500 blocks of Armada Avenue.
