Guided tour by a knowledgeable volunteer. Pretty interesting story of the house and its occupants. Note that if you buy a combo ticket you can see this and the Heritage Museum and save a few bucks.

This ‘dogtrot’ architectural style was also known as a breezeway house, common in Southern states in the 1800s. The key architectural feature of dogtrot homes was a central breezeway, which allowed wind to pass through the center of the house for cooling. This is similar to the open courtyard effect in Spanish architecture, where rooms open to catwalks, which served as oversized sun-blocking eaves for the lower floor. The true original Safford house is a small one-story structure adjacent to the more imposing one. Within a few years of the 1883 [three years before my maternal grandmother’s birth], the Safford family purchased the 2-story dogtrot house and had it moved to its current location.

Although the breezeway was long ago enclosed, notice there are two main entrances. Those doorways now cover what was the breezeway. There was a central staircase in the breezeway leading to bedrooms above. Originally, there was an additional bedroom in the northeast corner. Notice the beam running along the ceiling, which curiously ends at a fireplace. That wall was removed and the fireplace constructed, making those two smaller rooms [presumably used by children] into one larger space.

Although more than one Safford family occupied the six bedrooms, there is only a single bathroom, uncommon in that era, which was called a water closet. [When modernizing homes, an actual closet was appropriated to accommodate a toilet. A sink was later incorporated for hand washing.] The toilet has a tank near the ceiling. Velocity of water falling through the brass pipe offered superior flushing capacity—and noise. No need to call out that the loo was no longer occupied☺

The modest $5 admission fee is well worth the docent tour, where additional information regarding architectural features and living conditions 137 years ago is shared. For those concerned about COVID19, only one group [family/friends] is allowed to tour the museum at a time. After each tour, handrails and anything likely touched by visitors is sanitized. Safford House Museum is a must-see when visiting Tarpon Springs.

What a wonderful surprise to hear history of Tarpon Springs. The tour is only $5 and loaded with information. So glad we went.

This structure is a massive Victorian beauty located on the edge of Spring Bayou. It is the home of the founder of the town of Tarpon Springs. It was built in the grand Victorian area and has an abundance of gingerbread, lattice, and porches. Eventually the house fell into some disrepair but State funding refurbished it back to its original grandeur. Unfortunately the it is only open form 11AM to 3 PM on Wednesday and Friday so we missed actually going into the home, but every day we were here we took a walk around the Bayou and imagined what it might be like to have lived there. Admission is $3.

There was only two other ladies besides my husband and I. So our guide gave us lots of good information on a one to one. Take a walk back in time to see how Tarpon Springs involved. Much history here and very interesting. Worth the trip.

Step back in history to see how the founders of the town lived and an excellent tour by well informed docents. Can't wait to take my Grandchildren to the Victorian Christmas.

This 19th century Victorian home is open to the public year round. However, you should mark your calendar for mid-December when (for two days only) the Safford Family invite you to join them for a Victorian Christmas Celebration.
The home gets decorated for the holidays in grand Victorian style and there are actors and actresses dressed period costume to greet you. Also, crafts for the kids and carols.
Concerts such as "rag time jazz" and "dixie music" are performed at other times during the year when you can bring a blanket or lawn chair to enjoy the music.
Regular tours of the home are Wednesdays and Fridays from 11 AM to 3 PM. Admission is $3 to tour the House; children accompanied by adults are free.

We toured this home which had been moved from its original foundation. Our family learned some history of this family and former Florida governor. The house has alot of historical time period pieces in it.
