Sydonie Mansion Tour (1)

Come to a special tour of the magnificent mansion of the steel magnate James L. Laughlin and his wife, Sydney who settled on the lakefront property in the 1800’s. In 1903, they hired architect Grosvenor Atterbury, who worked for McKim, Meade, & White, to design the home after the famous Alhambra Castle in Spain. The home is a Mediterranean revival style with some Asian influences. The home was purchased and lovingly restored by Dick and Carla Durante in 1997. Its current owners, Clark and Amy Colyer, purchased the home in 2014 with the idea of making it a historic landmark for the Central Florida area.
