Strawn Historic Citrus Packing House District
Strawn Historic Citrus Packing House District, Historic citrus packing district in De Leon Springs, Florida.
The district includes twelve buildings and three structures, featuring a metal packing house with a distinctive sawtooth roofline near U.S. Route 17.
Theodore Strawn established the orange packing operation in 1882, and after a fire in 1921, constructed a new fireproof building with copper-alloy steel panels.
The facility processed and packaged citrus fruits, with premium oranges receiving the Bob White label before shipment to northern markets through the railroad system.
The district spans twenty acres bordered by the CSX railroad line, containing structures such as a barn, blacksmith shop, machinery house, and steam building.
The packing house survived the devastating Florida freezes of 1894-1895, but ceased operations after another severe freeze in December 1983 killed the orange trees.
