This gorgeous antebellum home was built in 1838 by Thomas Orman, a cotton merchant and businessman who helped Apalachicola become one of the Gulf Coast’s most important cotton exporting ports during the mid-19th century. The house features details of both Federal and Greek revival styles with wooden mantelpieces, molded plaster cornices and wide heart-pine floorboards. Ranger-led tours provide a glimpse into this interesting period of history. Adjacent to the Chapman Botanical Garden and Veterans Memorial Plaza.
