Located in the eastern section of Lakeland, this home was lived in by Marcelino Cordove and his family, who had immigrated from Cuba. The house occupied prime property on the banks of Lake Artemesia. For several years, the family operated a lodging business with modest "tourist homes" located adjacent to the house. Like all the other homes on Lakeland's eastern area, it was demolished to make way for urban renewal efforts.

In the 1940s and 1950s much of the organized entertainment in Lakeland was provided by social clubs. These clubs met monthly at the homes of the members. Dinners were part of the gathering and provided the host an opportunity to showcase both their cooking ability and their tableware. The Duchesses and the Counts social clubs sponsored an annual formal dance at Lakeland Hall and sometimes posed for professional photographs. The Counts appear here in formal tails and white gloves. The gentlemen are, left to right (left row) Gasson Bradford Sr., James Weems, Anderson Walls, George Walls, Charles Carroll, and Harry Braxton Sr.; (right row) Mack Allen, John Webster, William Sharps, Aubrey Corprew, Chesley Mack, and Ashby Tolson.
