  • Before Cypress Gardens and Disney World, tourists flocked to this one-of-a-kind mansion in the heart of Central Florida. With its concrete walls inlaid with glass tile mosaics, it’s no surprise the unique homestead, known as the Wonder House, quickly became a popular tourist destination from the 1930s - 1960s.
    After many years of being vacant, the once vibrant home, fell into disrepair. Fortunately in 2015, a young couple fell in love with the undeniable charm of the Wonder House, and made it their mission to restore the estate to its former glory. In fact, you can watch a part of the restoration process on the Netflix Original show, Amazing Interiors.

    Really cool! During the war the chimney was blocked because the fireplace would cause reflected light that they had to obey the blackout curfew.
