The Bloxham House 410 N. Calhoun St.

Tallahassee, FL 32301 $695,000

5635 sq.ft. 4 bed / 3.5 bath

MLS # 261702 This Federal-style building was con-structed in 1844 by Richard A. Shine, a prominent builder and mason who con-structed the south wing of Florida’s Capitol in 1845. In 1881, Mary C. Bloxham, Gover-nor Bloxham’s wife, acquired the property. Governor Bloxham, the owner of a planta-tion west of Tallahassee, used the house as a town residence during his two terms as governor, 1881-1885 and 1897-1901. The house was used by Governor Edward A. Perry, 1885-1889. In 1911, when Governor Bloxham died, Gertrude M. Bloxham, his

second wife, became its owner and in 1913 sold it. A number of ownerships and uses followed, including as a rooming house and hotel. In 1977, the Florida Heritage Founda-tion purchased the property and developed plans for restoration of the house, but was

unable to raise sufficient funds. In 1979, one of its members, Frances Cushing Ervin, purchased the property and restored the house to its original architectural style and elegance. Governor Bloxham’s career of public service was extensive and included repre-senting Leon County in the Florida House of Representatives, serving as Florida’s Secre-tary of State and Comptroller and as United States Surveyor-General for Florida. He was a popular war veteran, having organized an infantry company in Leon County in 1862 and served as its commander throughout the Civil War. Governor Bloxham, Florida’s first native-born governor, is remembered for founding the Florida Normal and Agri-cultural College for Colored Students, now Florida A & M University, and for restoring to fiscal solvency Florida’s Internal Im-provement Trust Fund by selling four mil-lion acres in the Everglades. He was gover-nor during the Spanish-American War when Florida served as a principle staging area and its ports were major embarkation points for United States military activities in Cuba.

Home prices are mainly determined by supply and demand, and a lot of the de-mand is tied to the economy. When the economy adds jobs, demand grows.

Our forecast of home prices in local markets estimates local economic growth over the next three years. Since the end of the recession, in about 2010, our forecast has assumed that all local economies will get better and better.

This is especially true here in Tallahassee, where we are seeing multiple offers on medium-range houses!

30 year rates are approx. 4.25 & 15 year rates are approx. 3.5 !
