It is a good example of Florida Cracker architecture which served several important environmental functions in 19th century Florida, pre-dating air conditioning. The modest cottage rises on brick piers or wooden stilts to avoid floodwaters and termites. The pyramidal roof reach skyward and ceilings are over eleven feet.

Cracker houses cool inhabitants in other ways, as well. This house features lots of windows, with large, flowing interior spaces opening on two or more sides for cross-ventilation from the bay breezes two blocks away. Because the fiery Florida sun might also find its way in through those windows, deep eaves on roofs shade the house. The porch provides a cool space for rocking chairs and informal dining tables. The exterior shutters are often closed to deflect heat and wind-driven hurricane rain.

The house is built of heart-pine with wedge shaped wrought iron nails. It’s very difficult to pry the nails from pieces of lumber 130 years old. Florida Cracker homes withstand hurricane force winds because of the hardiness of the old pine board which does not rot with the high resin content. The only damage to the house after the 130 mph winds of Hurricane Ivan was a broken shutter.

There are many other examples of the coastal classic in the Seville Historic District.
