Porcher House, Neoclassical building in Cocoa, United States.

Porcher House is a neoclassical building in Cocoa featuring a symmetrical facade and prominent columns that frame its entrance. The structure displays refined details and proportions characteristic of early 20th century American residential architecture.

Edward Postell Porcher built the house in 1916 as a home for his wife, Byrnina M. Peck. In the 1950s the city of Cocoa acquired it from the Porcher family and converted it into City Hall. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 6, 1986, and is now rented out for special occasions.

Edward Postell Porcher built the house in 1916 for his wife Byrnina M. Peck, who was the first postmistress of Merritt Island. Porcher, a citrus pioneer credited with first washing, grading and inspecting fruit, gave the house ten bedrooms and native coquina walls. Since the 1950s the City of Cocoa has rented it out for special occasions.

The house stands at 434 Delannoy Avenue in Cocoa, and its coquina exterior can be seen from the street. The city rents it out for special occasions, so the interior is generally not open to casual visitors; check with the city about access before planning a look inside.

Historical photographs reveal how the house has been maintained through careful restoration efforts over many decades. These documents offer insight into the building's journey and the decisions made to preserve its original character.
