Eldora House

Built on the homeland of Robert S. Nelson before 1895, Eldora House, also known in Volusia County records as the Home Place, stood near the center of the Eldora community. Over a 100-year life span it survived at least six periods of occupation and numerous owners, and it remained a well-known landmark after the original village and its residents faded into history. In 1980 the National Park Service evaluated the house and judged it too costly to restore. Its loss inspired local citizens to work to save the State House, two hundred feet south of here.
