The Clifford House


Home to the Eustis Historical Museum & Preservation Society, Inc., the house
was built in 1910-1911 by Mr. G. D. Clifford for his family. The eldest of their
six daughters, Lottie C. Taylor, placed this fine wooden structure on the National Register
of Historic Places in 1975, just a few months prior to her death at the age of 103.

This impressive home, located on the shores of Lake Eustis, has eighteen rooms and two great hallways.
The floors are double heart pine with cypress wood used throughout, Plaster of Paris walls, six fireplaces each
with imported Italian tile and beveled glass on the doors and mantels. All the light fixtures, hinges and door knobs
are brass. The original copper wire screening is still on all the windows and doors.

When this new home was built, Mrs. Clifford insisted that the old cast iron sink from her present home
be part of the new house. The sink is still in the kitchen today.
