William H. Gleason House
William H. Gleason House, Queen Anne architectural residence in Melbourne, Florida.
The William H. Gleason House features a full-height hexagonal tower, gable roof with cornice returns, and a triangular dormer enhanced with decorative trusses.
William Henry Gleason constructed this house in 1884 after acquiring 16,000 acres of land in Brevard County and establishing the community of Eau Gallie.
The residence exemplifies the architectural preferences of late 19th century Florida, with its intricate wooden posts, brackets, spindle work, and balustrades.
The property, located at 1736 Pineapple Avenue, remained in the Gleason family ownership until 1990 when Isabel Gleason, the last resident, passed away.
The house combines several distinctive elements including hooded brick chimneys, a large oriel bay on the south side, and a veranda with a hip roof.
