Sample-McDougald House, Colonial Revival house in Pompano Beach, Florida.
The Sample-McDougald House is a two-story wood house of 4,700 square feet (440 m2) with an irregular floor plan, built in 1916 in Pompano Beach, Florida. Large central hallways on each floor form the axis of the interior space. It stands at 450 Northeast 10th Street, within the grounds of Centennial Park.
The Sample-McDougald House was built in 1916 on Dixie Highway as the Sample Estate, and that original site and building were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. When the house was moved to 450 Northeast 10th Street in 2001, it was de-listed; it was renominated as the Sample-McDougald House and added to the register on September 15, 2004.
The house operates as a museum displaying how affluent families lived in the early 1900s. Visitors can see period furnishings and everyday objects that show what life was like for residents of that era.
The house is open for visits on weekdays and Saturdays with guided tours available throughout the day. The location on Northeast 10th Street makes it easy to reach on foot from downtown Pompano Beach.
In 2001 the entire building was moved on rollers to its current location in an unusual relocation project. The moving event drew hundreds of spectators who gathered to watch this rare structural shift across town.
