Burroughs Home & Gardens is the previous home of Nelson and Adeline Burroughs. They entertained such guests as the Fords, Edisons, and Firestones at prestigious events. The Burroughs home is one of the oldest homes in Fort Myers nestled on over two acres with views of the Caloosahatchee River. The home itself is over 6,000 square feet and 2.5 stories with stained glass windows, an expansive veranda, and a widow’s walk. It was a jewel on a street that one day would come to be called Millionaire’s Row on First Street. Now this home is the ideal setting for weddings and receptions.
