Louis P. Thursby House
Louis P. Thursby House, Historical residence in Blue Spring State Park, Florida
The Louis P. Thursby House stands as a three-story wooden structure constructed from center-cut pine milled in Savannah and transported by boat.
Built in 1872, the residence began as a two-story building and received an additional floor with a kitchen wing extension in 1900.
The house represents early American settlement patterns along the St. Johns River, where steamboat landings facilitated regional transportation and commerce.
Located within Blue Spring State Park boundaries, visitors can observe the exterior architecture and construction methods of 19th-century Florida homes.
The residence incorporated three different types of center-cut pine wood, showcasing the architectural preferences and building materials available in 1870s Florida.
