Stranahan House, Historic house museum in Fort Lauderdale, United States.
The Stranahan House features a wooden architecture with wide porches overlooking the New River, representing early 20th-century Florida construction methods.
Frank Stranahan constructed this building in 1901 as a trading post and residence, establishing it as the first commercial structure in Fort Lauderdale.
The museum displays authentic period furnishings and artifacts that demonstrate the relationships between early settlers and the Seminole Native Americans.
