Lonely Planet review for Stranahan House

Constructed from Dade County pine, grand Stranahan House is a fine example of Florida vernacular design and one of the state's oldest homes. 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. The house, with many original furnishings, is open for three daily hour-long tours.
