Old Northeast 
Historic Old Northeast is known for it's brick streets, alleys and its proximity to the Tampa Bay waterfront. Being adjacent to downtown St. Petersburg & North Shore Park, it's the closest single family neighborhood to our business center. The area contains approximately 9,000 people and 5,300 residential units (houses, apartments, condominiums). The Historic Old Northeast is approximately 82 years old and was virtually "built-out" by the 1950s and 1960s; so the basic character of the overall area is that of an older neighborhood.
ARCHITECTURE
The architecture in the Historic Old Northeast area is dominated by a wonderful mixture of predominately Mediterranean Revival, Colonial Revival, Bungalow Styles, Prairie, Williamsburg as well as vernacular style homes. Many of the homes feature front porches, horizontal wood siding, large casement windows, columns, white picket fences, fireplaces with large looming chimneys, as well as steeply pitched roofs with an assortment of roofing materials.
HISTORY
The Historic Old Northeast subdivision began in 1911, by a group of men led by C. Perry Snell and J.C. Hamlett. Their goal was to establish the area as the premier residential neighborhood adjacent to the burgeoning city of St. Petersburg along the shores of Tampa Bay and Coffee Pot Bayou. C. Perry Snell was a staunch advocate of William Straub's waterfront park system. Snell was instrumental in extending the park northward to Coffee Pot Bayou by giving the City the major part of the waterfront land from 13th Avenue North to Coffee Pot Bayou.
ORGANIZATIONS
The Historic Old Northeast Neighborhood Association (HONNA) is the nucleus behind all efforts to protect, enhance and maintain the quality of life within its boundaries. The association has been actively involved in many organizations and programs. HONNA belongs to the Council of Neighborhood Associations (CONA), participates in the City's Crime Watch program, Neighborhood Policing Program, Neighborhood Conservation Program and Certificate of Inspection Programs.

Rich in history and tradition, the St. Petersburg Yacht Club is one of the oldest yacht clubs in the United States. Established in 1909 and having been completely renovated in the early 1990s, the Club is located on the beautiful waterfront in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. A gathering place for avid boaters, it is also one of Tampa Bay's most prestigious social venues.
