Built
in 1896 by the Henry Plant Company while
the Belleview-Biltmore Hotel was under construction,
this seven-room home had all the modern conveniences
of the late 19th century: electricity, running
water, and indoor plumbing. In 1912, the
Reverend Robert Sumner purchased the home
for his family. A Methodist minister and
dairy farmer, Sumner also served for a time
as postmaster of the Town of Belleair. In
1976, this became the first structure to
be moved to Heritage Village and was opened
to the public in September of 1977.
