Colonial Estate, National Register of Historic Places house in Kissimmee, Florida.
Colonial Estate, also known as the Tucker/Ivey House, is a historic house at 2450 Old Dixie Highway in Kissimmee, Florida. It was built around 1916 and is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The property is a neoclassical-style residence.
The house was built around 1916 by J. Wade Tucker, a lumber baron from Georgia. In the 1930s it was purchased by Hilda and Lester Ivey, and it remains in that family's ownership. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 3, 1994.
The house reflects how residents of its era valued neoclassical design and its formal expression of status and taste. The visible features like columns and window arrangements show what ideals the occupants wanted to display to visitors and neighbors.
The house stands at 2450 Old Dixie Highway in Kissimmee, Osceola County, south of Orlando. It is a private family residence still held by the Ivey family, so the property is seen from the road rather than toured inside. The site lies along the old north-south highway route through Kissimmee.
The house preserves original design elements from its construction period, including period-specific moldings, window treatments, and interior floor plans. These details reveal how people actually lived and arranged their homes during that era.
