Built in 1869 just east of Zellwood, the White House became the winter home of the Harry S. Paul family from Pennsylvania. It was sold in the 1940s to the Sam Coen family corporation, which planted citrus groves. The Libby Company leased the property in 1953 and appointed George McClure as production manager, and he lived in the house with his family for most of the 1950s and 1960s. The house later stood vacant for many years and was believed to be haunted because wind through broken windows made doors seem to swing on their own. In 1973, Cayman Development Corporation bought the house and 837 acres to develop the Zellwood Station mobile home community, and to save its old Florida architecture from demolition moved the 290-ton building two blocks to its current location. In 1974, during the first Zellwood Sweet Corn Festival, Florida Secretary of Agriculture Doyle Connor spoke from its front porch. The White House and surrounding area were purchased by Zellwood Station Cooperative, Inc. in 1993, and the building serves as the company’s administrative office and remains a focal point of the community.
