| | Back | | Lakeland businessman and real estate developer Henry B. Carter built this Victorian home on the southwest corner of Massachusetts and Lime in 1906. It originally faced Lake Morton. The house was remodeled in 1924, with columns added and the entrance reoriented to face Massachusetts Avenue. In 1963 the city purchased the land under the house. The house itself was sold to a Lakeland dentist who had it moved to its present location on County Road 540A. It was later home to country music stars George Jones and Tammy Wynette. The house still stands, though it looks substantially different than it did in the @1912 photo above. |
