Historic Homes of Florida - Softcover
Houses tell the human side of history. In this survey of restored residences, their stories are intertwined with those of their owners in a domestic history of Florida from the days of Spanish occupation to the Rawlings House in Cross Creek, Vizcaya in Miami, and President Harry S. Truman's ""Little White House"" in Key West. Most of these houses are museums now; others are restaurants or bed-and-breakfasts. This new edition is updated and illustrated with color photographs.

Review:
Historic Homes Of Florida takes the reader on a detailed tour of more than 70 of the state's unique residences. These houses tell the human side of Florida's past. Historic Homes Of Florida covers homes built in the days of Spanish occupation through those built in the 1940s. All are open to the public (most as house museums, the rest as restaurants or bed-and- breakfasts) and hours of operation and contact information are provided. A charming and unusual volume that also does additional service as a tour guide, Historic Homes Of Florida is organized by region, making it easier to plan trips for a day, a week, or longer. -- Midwest Book Review
