Old Florida homes (also known as "cracker" style) evoke the vernacular traditions of the state before air conditioning became widespread. Sturdy wood framing, large windows, generous porches, and high ceilings help combat heat and humidity. Clad in simple lap siding or sometimes board-and-batten, they often feature tin roofs and raised foundations.
Rising in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Old Florida houses were a direct response to the state’s subtropical conditions. As railroads brought more settlers to the region, builders used locally available materials—like pine—to craft homes that prioritized natural ventilation. Today, these charming, breezy designs are treasured remnants of Florida’s earlier times.
