Coral Gables Merrick House, Historic residence in Coral Gables, Florida, United States

The Coral Gables Merrick House at 907 Coral Way is a one-story house with white stucco and grey stone walls, a grey shingled roof and a tall stone chimney on the left. A small porch with a white column stands at the left, and a white-framed window with dark shutters sits beside a white door under a small awning on the right, where a red-tiled roof section adjoins.

The house was built as the childhood home of George E. Merrick, the founder of Coral Gables. On April 13, 1973, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Since then the City of Coral Gables has restored it to its 1925 appearance, and it is open to the public for tours twice a week.

The house carries the name of the city it helped name: Coral Gables. George E. Merrick grew up here, and the city later restored the house to its 1925 appearance. It is open for tours twice a week, when visitors can see the rooms and grounds as they were in Merrick's time.

The house at 907 Coral Way is open for tours twice a week; the city restored it to its 1925 appearance, so the rooms shown reflect that year. Tours are guided, and the house is a museum, so check the official website for the current tour days before travelling.

The house is named after its surroundings: Coral Gables itself takes its name from this property, so the museum is also called Merrick Manor. George E. Merrick grew up here before founding the city, and the City of Coral Gables restored the house to its 1925 appearance.
