Dix House, Historical residence in Florida, United States.
The Dix House is a two-story white wood-frame house with a hipped roof in Ormond Beach. A full-width porch runs along the lower level and a matching balcony with a white railing and slender columns runs above it, both sheltered by the roof. A central paneled door is flanked by windows, with a matching row of windows and doors above, and a small wooden staircase with a handrail reaches the porch at the left corner.
Colonel Dix built the house for his two sisters. Its open second floor, called Dix Hall, served as an early wedding hall and meeting place, and on April 22, 1880, the colony of New Britain chose it as the site where Ormond became a city. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 6, 1989, and was renovated in 2007–2008 under the guidance of the historical society.
The upper floor, known as Dix Hall, was an open hall used for weddings and meetings. On April 22, 1880, the New Britain colony chose it as the site where Ormond became a city. The house was bought in 2016 by Chobee and Becky Ebbets, longtime Ormond Beach residents.
The house stands at 29.29028, -81.05778 in Ormond Beach, Volusia County. It is a private residence with five bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and an elevator added in the 2007–2008 renovation, so interior visits depend on the owners' consent. The small wooden staircase at the left corner of the porch is the way up from street level.
