If you take a stroll down South Brooksville Avenue, the most photographed street in Brooksville, you will immediately notice you have stepped back in time during the Colonial Revival Era of the Old South, where it is lined with a Canopy of Majestic Oak Trees on a beautiful Augusta-Brick Street. The Colonial Revival Style during the early portion of the twentieth century reflected a design that was carefully researched in order to incorporate correct proportions and details. This style of architecture became popular during the early 1900s with the rebirth of America's interest in English and Dutch houses along the Atlantic Seaboard. Colonial Revival Style Architecture found within the Brooksville Avenue Historic District includes this two-story, brick Whitehurst Residence, located at 321 South Brooksville Avenue, where construction began in 1909 and completed in 1910. When you walk up to this house you will be treated to its grandeur, with a two-story porch with decorative Wrought Iron Grape Design Railing and Porch Supports on both the first and second stories. It's said that in the early 1930's the Whitehurst family spent sometime in New Orleans and when they came back an inspired Mrs. Whitehurst made the decision to change the front facade of the home. Hence, the New Orleans style wrought iron on both balcony's. The home has been Restored to its former Glory where upon entry you will find Original Wood Floors, Original Trim, Moldings and Built-Ins throug
