Apalachicola was recently named to the Dozen Distinctive Destinations list of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. A brief look at the history of the house reveals that it was probably build post Civil War (around 1870 but the actual date is unknown). It was purchased by a locally famous steamboat captain, George Whiteside, in the late 1880s and Whiteside made extensive renovations on the house during his ownership including completing the upstairs interior, adding indoor plumbing, and electrifying the house. A historic picture taken in the 1890s of the house still exists in the Florida State Archives. Great care has been taken to balance the historic nature of the house with top quality modern conveniences. Finally, the house was bank appraised in April 2008 for $750,000. We are offering this one of a kind home well below the appraised value.
