Rosemary District Cleanup and Restoration

The Rosemary District is a neighborhood located in Sarasota, Florida. It is a diverse and vibrant community that is known for its vibrant arts scene, eclectic mix of businesses, and historic architecture.

The history of the Rosemary District dates back to the early 20th century, when the area was first developed as a residential neighborhood. Woodlawn Cemetery, located off 12th Street at the end of Gillespie Avenue in Sarasota, is the oldest recorded cemetery for African Americans in Sarasota. Research to date shows that eight of those buried in Woodlawn Cemetery had been born before the Civil War ended. One of these people was Willis Washington. Born in Richmond, Virginia, in 1851, he came to Sarasota with his wife Sophia Jane in 1894.

In the 1920s and 1930s, the neighborhood was home to a number of elegant homes and mansions, many of which were built in the Mediterranean Revival and Art Deco styles.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the neighborhood underwent a period of decline, as many of the homes and businesses in the area fell into disrepair. However, in the 2000s, the neighborhood began to experience a resurgence, as developers and investors began to revitalize the area.

Today, the Rosemary District is home to a mix of residential and commercial properties, including apartments, condos, and a variety of businesses, including art galleries, coffee shops, and restaurants. It is a popular destination for those looking to experience the vibrant culture and history of Sarasota.
