Own a gorgeous piece of Tavares and Lake County history. This 1882 home is the first home built in Tavares. It was built for Major Alexander St. Clair Abrams. Major Alexander St. Clair Abrams (March 10, 1845 - June 5, 1931) was an American attorney, politician, and writer. He was born in New Orleans in 1845 and moved to Florida in 1875. He fought in the Confederate Army beginning in 1861 and later wrote a full and detailed history of the siege of Vicksburg. In 1880, Abrams founded the city of Tavares, Florida. In 1887, he aided in the introduction of the bill which would establish Lake County, Florida. He died in Jacksonville, Florida on June 5, 1931.When the current owners bought the home, it was in total dis-repair, the plaster walls were crumbling, the electric and plumbing were very old and outdated. The original stairwell has been preserved, but the remaining interior of this home has been gutted to the studs, the electrical and plumbing pulled. It’s ready for your vision.
