Captain Francis Hendry House

There are many different styles of architecture within Hendry County. Over in La Belle, there is the Captain Francis Hendry house, located on Fraser Street. Built in 1914, its style is framed vernacular and is one and a half stories.

The house was built for Captain Francis Hendry, the founder of LaBelle and the person for who Hendry County was named when it was formed in 1923. The home is an excellent example of a simple but large vernacular home of its period and is the only surviving structure in Hendry County associated with Captain Francis A. Hendry. Today it is used for private parties and other functions.  The wrap-around front porch is what caught my eye first.

More architecture as I find it.
