The Burroughs House is on First Street in Fort Myers' River District. It was the city's first year-round luxury home. It is in the Georgian Revival style and was built in 1901.
Nelson Burroughs bought the house in 1919. A daughter bequeathed the property to The City of Fort Myers in 1978. Today it is open for tours and is often the scene of weddings and other special events.
This is a fine looking house that the city can put to good use. This house has always required a staff to maintain, and the city has that.
