Green Gables, Queen Anne style house in Melbourne, Florida
Green Gables stands along Harbor City Boulevard with its wooden architecture featuring ornate details and a position overlooking the Indian River.
William T. Wells and his wife Nora Stanford Wells constructed this winter residence in 1886, making it the first house in Melbourne with indoor plumbing.
The property represents early architectural development in Florida and serves as an educational center for local history and environmental conservation programs.
Visitors can join guided tours every Saturday between 10 AM and 2 PM to explore the house and learn about Melbourne's early settlement period.
