Stranahan House in Fort Lauderdale downtown, Florida, USA. This building is a National Register of Historic Places since 1973.
The Stranahan House was built in 1901 by Frank Stranahan, credited as Fort Lauderdale’s founding father, and his wife Ivy Cromartie Stranahan, the area’s first school teacher. It is the oldest surviving structure in Broward County and has served as a trading post, post office, town hall, and home to the Stranahans. The house is a wood-frame vernacular structure with wide porches and a stunning view of the New River. It was loving restored by the Fort Lauderdale Historical Society and the Fort Lauderdale Board of Realtors and opened to the public as a historic house museum in 1984.

Lets be clear, you stay here for the location and the art deco building. Amenities are just OK. Staff is friendly but rooms are dated. Sofa bed for my 2 daughters was broken (room 301). No common area (lounge to seat down and relax), it is all restaurant. So this is one of those “been there donde that” kind of places. Next time either a B&B or a large chain hotel.
