History
James Seymour Capen, one of Winter Park’s first residents, built the establishment in 1885. Over the next century, it was owned by various local families and couples. It faced demolition in 2013, but the Winter Park community raised enough to money to save the house and move it to the Albin Polasek Museum. The Capen House went through a two-year renovation, resulting in a historic facility full of vintage elegance.

Location
The Capen House is nestled along the edge of Lake Osceola. It is located near the Orlando Science Center, Winter Park History Museum and Rollins College. The Orlando International Airport is 29 minutes away.

    Fantastic location for a rehearsal dinner!

    The staff at The Capen House helped make our rehearsal dinner very special. The setting by the lake is beautiful. The staff was responsive to my many questions. They did a great job determining the layout and then adjusting it as our ideas developed. They helped us execute our plans and did so calmly and with joy. Everyone who attended the rehearsal dinner commented on what a perfect spot it was. We used Winter Park Scenic Boat Tour for a tour after the dinner - a wonderful way to cap off a fantastic evening. I highly recommend The Capen House and the staff for any special occasion.
