Neoclassical Revival House, 1920, Palmetto

This landmark is one of the finest homes in Palmetto, built in a style that was very popular with Southern planters and businessmen in the early 20th century. The Neoclassical style was not only meant to announce wealth but taste and refinement, as well.

    Great house and property! I owned this home through the 90’s and did some renovations to it. I owned it from 1994-2006. I wish I never sold it!

      It’s definitely a nice one, Randy. Do you know any of its history? I’ve found identifying any of the houses in Palmetto to be difficult to say the least.

        Hello, Brian. I heard that the house was actually built around 1890. The original courthouse burned down and the records on file were lost in the fire around 1920. That is why current records state 1920. I also heard that a family that owned a mercantile store or bank owned the house originally.
