For a bit of Las Olas history: A notable historical landmark, the Stranahan House, located in downtown Fort Lauderdale on the New River, has been the site most closely associated with both the founding of the City and its economic and social development. Frank Stranahan originally selected the site because it was where he operated his barge ferry across the river as part of the new road from Lantana to what is now North Miami. Today, Stranahan House is the eastern anchor of River Walk, a linear waterfront park connecting Fort Lauderdale’s historic district with the soon to be created cultural district anchored by the Performing Arts Center and the Museum of Discovery and Science. Also, The Riverside Hotel on Las Olas is the oldest hotel in Fort Lauderdale, founded by brothers Preston and John Wells in 1936. Many Homes in the Las Olas Isles area were originally built in the 1940s and the average Lot size is 1/4 Acre.
