Tour the most luxurious estate in Fort Myers for a taste of history, the Burroughs Home and Gardens. The home of Nelson Burroughs, this was a jewel of “Millionaire’s Row” on First Street. With a Georgian-Revival style, you’ll see bay and stained glass windows, a widow’s walk, a sweeping veranda, and dancing porch. Imagine the social events here that hosted the elite of early settlers in Fort Myers! Inside, you’ll see 11-foot high ceilings and pine flooring. A winding staircase leads down to four receiving rooms with a parlor, music room, and library. You’ll see antique furnishings and turn-of-the-century artifacts like sleigh beds and original dining room set. Outside in the gardens, admire the free-standing fountain and the first grotto built in Fort Myers fed by an artesian well. Tour the servants’ quarters with an electric bell system. There’s also a secret garden with elephant ears, birds of paradise, bougainvillea, and a reflecting pool.
