Burns Court

Burns Court

Burns Court is a collection of 1920s bungalows. The Burns Court District is named for Owen Burns (1869-1937), who originally visited Sarasota on a fishing trip. He saw the area's great potential and in 1910, Burns purchased more than 75% of Sarasota. In 1911, he organized and was first president of Citizens Bank... Sarasota's first bank. He also founded the Board of Trade. Burns built the bungalows in Burns Court, and the triangle building at Little Five Points. The Sarasota Herald opened in 1925, in the building that now houses the Woman's Exchange. Originally built as single-family homes, the adobe works of art now make a micro community of homes, shops and restaurants. A quick stroll down the street and you can almost imagine 1920s Sarasotans relaxing on their front stoops in straw hats and summer whites. Anchoring Burns Court is the Burns Court Cinema, featuring the best in independent and foreign films, and one site of the annual Sarasota Film Festival.

Sellers of new downtown condominiums brag about their locations near cafes and theaters.
One property that stood out to me was very nice. With its blue paint and big red awning, Ioptics, at 446 Burns Court, attracts business to a house without frontage on Pineapple. The optical business had that frontage for five years in leased space, but the chance to buy inside the compound two years ago has worked well, she said. What Burns Court needs now, she added, are the old-fashioned street lights they city has delayed installing and a Wednesday farmers market, after the Saturday market returns to Lemon Avenue.

Burn is a charming place to live. It is an interesting to sit on the porch and watch people walk by.

In 1997, the downtown neighborhood at Pineapple and Burns Court was named a finalist in the Prettiest Painted Places in America" contest. Houses were painted peach, plum, lavender and pale aqua, and the cinema was a bright purple. The newest renovation is blue-purple.
