Carlton, Albert, Estate
About this property
The Albert Carlton Estate (also known as the Carlton-Underwood Estate) is a historic site in Wauchula, Florida, located at 302 East Bay Street. On October 3, 1991, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The Carlton Estate was laid out as the main residence of Albert Carlton (1845-1925) and his wife, Martha McEwen Carlton. The structure was built in 1903 by Carlton originally as a two and a half story Queen Anne style building. Covered in white clapboard, it featured two towers that rose above the wood shingled roof line and a veranda that wrapped around the north and west elevations. In 1946, due to extensive hurricane damage and massive deterioration in the building's twin towers, the roofline was altered. The twin towers were removed and the main facade was adapted to the Colonial Revival style. Three rooms were added to the house in 1987, a small one to the east facade and two others to the back. Otherwise, the main block and the interior of the 1903 building remain essentially intact. The Estate was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places as an example of a late 19th early 20th Century Colonial Revival style structure. It was later inhabited by William Albert Carlton, a 7th generation member of the pioneering Carlton family of Florida citrus growers and ranchers, and his wife, Barbara.
