This was the long-time home of attorney John H. Hancock and his wife, Emma. Since 1968 this home has been cared for by the Vuic family. It is a rambling 23 room frame house and has a full front porch supported by columns on cement piers, bay windows and a front gable. There are fireplaces in the living room and second floor master bedroom. Heart pine floors and French doors accent the house. Currently a large hedge surrounds the property. It is across the street from the City Hall annex. It was featured in the TV series Route 66 when an episode was filmed in Punta Gorda.
