Edson Keith Estate, Historic mansion in Sarasota, Florida.

The Edson Keith Estate is a historic house at 5500 South Tamiami Trail in Sarasota, Florida. The 1916 residence is the main building, and the surviving estate grounds also hold the original servants' house, a garden shed and a garage; a water tower, a chauffeur's house and farm sheds once stood on the property.

In 1883 William Joel Drumright bought 40 acres along Phillippi Creek from Hamilton Disston's Florida Land and Improvement Company for $50, adding 78 acres by homesteading eight years later. In 1910 he sold the land to George H. and C. Woodburn Matheny, who platted Phillippi Park in 1911. Edson Keith Jr. bought eight lots there in 1915 for $7,000, and the residence was finished in 1916. The estate joined the National Register of Historic Places on March 14, 1991.

After Edson Keith Jr. died in 1939, his widow sold the property to Mae Hansen Prodie, a doll-clothing designer from Chicago. Her husband ran it as a luxury inn during the 1950s, and Prodie retired there in the 1960s, living in the house until her death in 1986. Sarasota County then bought the land through a bond referendum to use it as a park.

The property at South Tamiami Trail operates as a public park managed by Sarasota County and hosts community events regularly. Visitors should expect the grounds to be in use for recreational purposes and public gatherings throughout the year.

The house was built for Edson Keith Jr., but the land passed through several owners first: William Joel Drumright bought 40 acres along Phillippi Creek in 1883 for $50, and the Mathenys platted Phillippi Park in 1911. Keith bought eight lots in 1915 for $7,000. A servants' house, garden shed and garage survive from the estate.
