Zephyrhills Downtown Historic District, historic district in Florida, United States

The Zephyrhills Downtown Historic District covers 84 acres (34 ha) between South Avenue, 9th Avenue, 7th Street and 11th Street, with 126 contributing buildings in a residential and commercial area. Among them are the 1911 Capt. Harold B. Jeffries House, home of the city founder, the Woman's Club built in the 1930s, and City Hall, a 1940 Art Deco WPA project with a Mission-inspired parapet and corner battlements.

The district developed after the town was renamed from Abbott to Zephyrhills in 1910, inspired by the gentle breezes that Civil War veteran Captain H.B. Jeffries felt while founding a colony here. In the 1990s, the community launched a revitalization program called Main Street Zephyrhills that brought new investment and growth, transforming the area over recent decades.

The district's civic life centres on buildings from the 1930s and 1940s: the Zephyrhills Woman's Club, home to a women's organisation founded in the town's early days, and the 1940 City Hall, both built as Works Progress Administration projects. City Hall's Art Deco design has a Mission-inspired parapet and corner battlements. The Capt. Harold B. Jeffries House, built in 1911, was the home of the city founder.
