Capt. Henry E. Sewall House, Historical residence in Jensen Beach, United States.
The wooden house features a rectangular layout with a cupola on the roof and stands within Indian RiverSide Park along the waterfront.
Built in 1889 at Sewall's Point, the house moved twice by barge: first to Port Sewall in 1913 and then to Indian RiverSide Park in 2007.
The residence served as both the Sewall's Point post office and the private home of Captain Henry E. Sewall, a local pioneer and developer.
Free guided tours of the house take place on the first and third Wednesday of each month from November through May, with a maximum indoor capacity of 35 visitors.
During the 1920s Prohibition era, the house's cupola displayed colored lanterns to signal bootleggers when it was safe to unload their alcohol cargo.
