ABOUT THIS PLACE
Judge Isaac H. Bronson received a tract of 1,220 acres in trust in 1852 and had this house up by the winter of 1854. He mattered to Palatka: he sponsored the city charter and gave the land the county courthouse stands on. He died on August 13, 1855, a few months after moving in. The house runs to 7,199 square feet in Southern Colonial style, and its unusual feature is the jib windows, where the panel below the glass swings open so the window becomes a door to the floor. Mary Mulholland took the property in January 1904 and held it through its decline, serving as Red Cross vice chairman in the First World War. It went on the National Register of Historic Places on December 27, 1972. The City of Palatka owns it and the Putnam County Historical Society furnishes and keeps it. Tours run regularly, lectures are held in the front parlor, and a Civil War reenactment takes place each September. It stands at 100 Madison Street
