Inside-Outside House

The Inside-Outside House c.1873 was constructed in Boston by Capt. W. Pierce, a sailing ship sea captain, this is probably the oldest prefabricated house in the United States. The house was shipped by steamship to Sanford, mule-carted to Altamonte Springs and reassembled on Boston AVe. in 1873.
The ground level was used as a cabinet shop while the family lived upstairs. The house derives its name from the fact that the structural wall studs are exposed on the exterior and finished out on the interior.

Today the Longwood Historic Society still owns and maintains the building. It is rented out to members Tom and Pam Reddit, who run the Cottage Gifts shop inside. It is open to the public, come and visit!

For your convenience, there are three free self-guided tours available:
Central Tour
East Tour
South Tour

Each tour is approximately three quarters of a mile and will take between 30-45 minutes to walk (depending on your pace and how long you pause at each stop). It is broken up to fit your time schedule. They are adjacent, so if you have time go for all three! Or you can break them up over multiple trips to the Historic District. Start with the Central Tour, as it hits the majority of the district's most prominent buildings.
