The Florida Land and Improvement Corporation was formed in 1881 and registered in Jacksonville, Florida. In 1883 the Consolidated Ice, Refrigerating and Fish Co. purchased the land and built this "Dusk to Dawn" one room house. Workmen came in at dusk and went back to work at dawn. The one room had a fireplace to rest for the night. The fireplace is still intact. By 1924 a second story and more rooms on the ground floor had been added. The house was partially restored in 2000 and was flooded in 2001.
