William Lyons Home, Inc. is a California-based, residential home builder. William Lyons, a former U.S. Air Force pilot, founded the company in 1954, then called Luxury Homes. In 1968, William Lyons Home's architect design coordinator, Phil Hove, addressed a letter to Hymen Lake, a Central Florida real estate developer, in response to Lake's interest in some model homes designed by Lyon's firm. Lake is best known as the developer of Sky Lake, a residential community and unincorporated area in located approximately seven miles south of Downtown Orlando between Lancaster Road and Sand Lake Road. The community was developed in late 1950s and 1960s, and it became one of the first housing developments to be racially integrated.
