Built in 1926, this structure is believed to be the only county "Old Folks Home" still standing in Florida, and its unique exterior finish called "pebble dash" helped qualify it for listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. In 1925, before social security existed, local residents who could not care for themselves needed a place to live, so the Seminole County Board of Commissioners approved $9,020.00 to purchase 82 acres for a county home for the poor, and the following year spent $35,306.00 to build the home with separate quarters and dining rooms for white and black residents. Known locally as "The Old Folks Home," this farm-type home gave each resident a private room, and residents shared chores and activities that provided a family atmosphere; those able to work tended an orange grove, a vegetable garden, chickens, dairy cattle, and hogs to help provide for others living there. In 1840, all residents were moved into the main building, and the black residents' building became the infirmary for all residents. Miss Rachael Lee, a black nurse from Mississippi, was in charge of the infirmary until the home closed in 1964. In 1964 the main building became the county Agricultural Center, housing offices for the County Agricultural and Home Demonstration Agents and other county agencies. A new agricultural center was built in 1980, and in 1982 the Board of County Commissioners approved establishment of the Museum of Seminole County History at this site.
