Why save historical places when you can just build new construction in place of them?
- The stories of these places are the stories of all of us! Our history, our families heritage, challenges, and victories are told through these homes, sites, and towns. Being able to use as much of the original structure as we can while adding new components, makes for a beautiful remodeled historical building with still so many stories to tell!
What is the history behind Zephyrhills FL?
- The town that came to be known as Zephyrhills was first settled in 1882 with a thriving lumber and turpentine industry. It was originally called Abbott and later Abbot Station when the Seaboard Coastline Railroad established its depot there.
- In 1910 the town's name was formally changed to Zephyrhills when Howard Jeffries,a retired Union Army captain, established a retirement community for other veterans called the Zephyrhills Colony Company.
- In 1961, Don Robinson took advantage of the areas’ good tasting water and established the Zephyrhills Water Corporation. The company started bottling spring water and shipping it all over the state. The town soon became well-known as the “City of Pure Water.”

Think about it…
- All of these homes have so many stories to tell within their walls! Your mind starts to wonder on “What is the story behind this house?” “Who lived here?” and that is the beauty behind these homes and structures. It makes you want to live there, learn more, be able to say to others that your house has been around for years upon years!
So, share #ThisPlaceMatters on your social media, to your friends, your co-workers, your family! By doing so, you are helping these historic places remain intact and helping breath new life into them!
