Lawton House The freezes of December 26, 1894, and February 7, 1895, had a devastating effect on Central Florida, with some towns losing most of their population when the groves were ruined. New home construction in Oviedo was put on hold for 18 years. This was the first home built after the freezes in this part of Oveido, completed in 1913. It was built by Mr. and Mrs. Winborn Joseph Lawton, and to make room for it an older one-story home (given to them in 1902 as a wedding present by his father, Rev. R.W. Lawton) was moved across the street. The home is built from seasoned pine. The four fireplaces were used to heat the home until 1939, when a central heating system was installed. Mr. Lawton served on the first town council after Oviedo was incorporated in 1925. Perfect opportunity someone to restore an historic home. Appt. only call to see. OWNER WILL DIVIDE- CALL FOR DETAILS.
