Riddle House, Edwardian house in West Palm Beach, United States.
Riddle House is a two-story wooden structure with a covered porch, classic windows, and a steep-pitched roof built in the early 1900s. The building displays typical Edwardian architectural elements common to South Florida residences of that period.
Built in 1905 as the gatekeeper's cottage for Woodlawn Cemetery, the structure was later named after Karl Riddle who purchased it in 1920. The building was dismantled and reconstructed at its current location in 1995.
The house sits within Yesteryear Village and reflects how residents lived in early 1900s South Florida. The rooms display furnishings and objects from that period, giving visitors a sense of daily life from that era.
The house can be visited during regular Yesteryear Village operating hours, with special evening tours offered throughout October. Wear comfortable shoes, as the grounds feature multiple historical buildings to explore on foot.
During the 1995 reconstruction, workers reported tools mysteriously falling from the attic to the ground below. These incidents became the subject of local curiosity about the building's past.
