Lampp Mound House

2021 Six to Save

The Lampp Mound House is the site a mostly intact Native American mound in southern Sarasota County. Atop the mound sits the home of Jesse Alston Lampp, built in 1942. The Lampp family was one of the first American settlers to the Englewood region.


Jesse would go on to serve as president of the Englewood Builders Association and the Englewood Cemetery Board. The mound was first recorded in 1953 and has been intact since the first disturbance which was building the house. Minor archaeological work has

revealed the potential for burial sites in the mound.


Today, the Lampp Mound House is at risk from park development. Sarasota County has an interest in the property and the possible usage could be as a dog park. With the potential for significant archaeological finds at this location, any active recreational activity could accidentally disturb the site.
