The Clifford House, located at the corner of Bay and Bates Streets in Eustis, Florida; is in a graceful antebellum style, complete with a deep porch that extends across it's façade and around much of one side. Its low lines, broad massing, balustrade window's walk, and double-columned, pediment two-story entry speak volumes of easy living in a long-ago South. Yet the eighteen room mansion dates only from 1911, because of forces well beyond the control of its owners and, indeed, everyone involved in growing citrus at the end of the last century.
