  1. A

    Stranahan House

    A fine example of Florida ‘vernacular’ design is also one of Florida’s oldest homes, the landmark Stranahan House. Constructed from Dade County pine, the house has wide porches, tall windows and many original furnishings. It served as both home and store for Ohio transplant Frank Stranahan, who built a small empire trading with the Seminoles before committing suicide by jumping into the New River after real-estate and stock-market losses in the late 1920s.
