Had an absolutely wonderful experience visiting the Gingerbread House in Safety Harbor. This place…read moreis full of charm and personality, with such a cozy and whimsical feel that makes it stand out right away. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and full of character. It really feels like stepping into something special and unique to Safety Harbor. Everything is thoughtfully decorated and has that homemade, artistic touch that makes the place feel personal and welcoming. Overall, a super memorable visit and a true gem in Safety Harbor. Easy 5 stars and definitely worth stopping by.

The original owner B. Rhett Green had this house built in 1908 in the classic Victorian style.

In 1910, it was a popular place for neighborhood women to bring their laundry. They had a big cast iron kettle of boiling clean water. This house had the best well in town since other nearby wells were full of sulfur! Electricity, fueled by a coal burning plant located on Iron Age Avenue, was added to the house in the 1920s. Use of electricity was limited to the hours of 8:00 am to 10:00 pm. Plumbing was installed in the 1930s, less than 100 years ago. The original claw foot tub fell through the floor and remains below the house to this very day! Life is good with history, hidden in plain sight!
