Immokolee, Historic Mediterranean Revival house in Fort Pierce, Florida

Immokolee is a Mission Revival house on Immokolee Road in Fort Pierce, Florida, built in 1931 by local builder Franklind Tyler from a design supplied by its owner, Dorothy Binney Palmer. The house was restored after Palmer's death in 1985 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 29, 1994.

Immokolee was built in 1931 by local builder Franklind Tyler, working from a design supplied by the owner, Dorothy Binney Palmer. After Palmer's death in 1985 the house was restored. It was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on July 29, 1994.

The name Immokolee comes from the Seminole language and means 'our home' or 'my home place'. This choice reflects a connection to the land and its original inhabitants that the owners wanted to honor.

The property sits on Immokolee Road in Fort Pierce and is readily accessible by car. The building occupies a modest plot of land and is subject to specific preservation guidelines for its historic architecture.

Immokolee was not the work of a professional architect: Dorothy Binney Palmer supplied the design herself, and local builder Franklind Tyler carried it out in 1931. Palmer lived there until her death in 1985, after which the house was restored.
