historic house in Florida, United States

Description and history
The Neilson House is a mortise-and-tenon system of wood-frame construction. Posts and beams are fairly thick in section) creating a rigid frame which requires little diagonal bracing. The house is somewhat irregular in plan particularly in its system of porches and verandas. The rooms, however, present an ordered interior space as they all lie off of a central hall running the entire depth of the house.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 4, 1973.
