Wirick-Simmons House, Historic house in Monticello, Florida, USA

The Wirick-Simmons House is a two-and-a-half-story Greek Revival home at Jefferson and Pearl Streets in Monticello, Florida. Built in 1831, it has a symmetrical facade and a pedimented gable. It has been occupied by Thomas Simmons and his descendants since 1871 and now serves as headquarters of the Jefferson County Historical Association.

Reverend Adam Wirick, a Methodist circuit rider, built this two-and-a-half-story Greek Revival house in 1831. Thomas Simmons took up residence in 1871, and his descendants occupied it for generations. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 30, 1972.

The name joins two owners: Reverend Adam Wirick, a Methodist circuit rider who built the house in 1831, and Thomas Simmons, whose family occupied it from 1871. Since the Jefferson County Historical Association took it over, the house has served as the organisation's headquarters.

The house stands at the corner of Jefferson and Pearl Streets in Monticello and serves as the headquarters of the Jefferson County Historical Association. It is not open on a daily basis: tours are offered only during special events, so check the association's announcements before planning a visit.

The house has been in the Simmons family since 1871, when Thomas Simmons took up residence; his descendants kept it for a century before the Jefferson County Historical Association took it over. The association now runs the house as its headquarters, and the building joined the National Register on June 30, 1972.
