Murphy-Burroughs House, Georgian Colonial Revival residence in Fort Myers, United States.
The three-story mansion extends over 6,000 square feet with eleven-foot ceilings, pine floors, and four receiving rooms on the main floor.
John T. Murphy, a Montana cattleman, purchased the property in 1899 for $3,500 and established the residence as his winter home in 1901.
The mansion features numerous architectural elements including quarter-sawn oak fireplaces, burly pine wainscoting, and a winding grand staircase throughout its interior.
The property includes a waterfront pavilion constructed in 2015 that serves as a venue for weddings, educational programs, and community events.
The estate grounds contain a free-standing fountain, an artesian well-fed grotto, a palm alley, and tennis courts surrounding the main structure.
