The mission of the Friends of Casa Feliz—— to engage the public through education and advocacy for the purpose of preserving and promoting the community's rich architectural, historic and cultural heritage is timelier now than it ever has been.  As a historic home museum, Casa Feliz stands as a beacon to historic preservation in Central Florida. Every person who steps through our doors, numbering more than 10,000 this year between our open houses and private rentals, leaves with an appreciation for the value of preserving our community’s architectural treasures. Our annual James Gamble Rogers II Colloquium on Historic Preservation is sponsored by the Friends of Casa Feliz, to recognize the importance of valuing and sustaining our community’s precious architectural and historic resources. We celebrate the legacy of architect Gamble Rogers (1901-1990), designer of Casa Feliz, now a home museum listed on the National Register of Historic Places. “Art at the Casa” and "Music at the Casa" feature the work of local artists and musicians. Hundreds of people from the community come not only to appreciate exquisite paintings and beautiful music, but also to explore the Casa Feliz historic home museum and the James Gamble Rogers II Studio which is a permanent exhibit on Casa Feliz's first floor showcasing the life and work of the preeminent Winter Park architect. Your donation will not only support future projects like these but will also help maintain the structure of Casa Feliz. As always, Casa Feliz receives no taxpayer funding, and relies wholly on rental revenue and the generous support of our patrons to meet our budget.  Please take a moment to print and complete a pledge card (link on Friends page), and return it along with your contribution.  We look forward to working together to support historic preservation in our community
