As a fan of 1920's architect Addison Mizner's designs in Boca Raton, I was delighted to discover this historic Spanish Colonial Revival estate that he designed located within walking distance from downtown Fort Myers. Mizner designed Calvin Coolidge's Summer White House. The Kennedy's and John Lennon have owned homes designed by him. Addison Mizner is known for his Mediterranean and Spanish influenced architecture that uses stucco, coquina stone, terra cotta tiles, wood beam ceilings, fountains, towers, columns, wrought iron, and tropical landscaping. Most of the homes he designed were in Palm Beach County but he designed four homes in Naples of which two remain today and this home in Fort Myers, This Fort Myers one acre estate was built in 1924 for banker Fred Alderman, President of Fort Myers First National Bank in 1921. He would entertain illustrious Fort Myers winter residents Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone, and Thomas Edison. Many society events were held in the grand ballroom with its 14 foot high ceilings, elaborate mantel, and wood burning fireplace. On December 1, 1988 the house was added to the US National Register of Historic Places.More recently the grand home was used as an office for 30 years. Doreen Lehrer who was in the marines for 25 years fell in love with the house after seeing an internet posting from where she was stationed in North Korea. She purchased it sight unseen in 2016 and began the restoration. Lehrer added a kitchen and guest rooms which she rented out to guests. In 2021 the house went on the market for 1,499 million dollars. The new owners are still using it as an Airbnb for $400 a night plus cleaning and Airbnb fees. It can also be rented for weddings.

We held our 11/13/22 wedding at the Alderman house and it was PERFECTION. We had an "old Florida" theme and we couldnt have asked for a better fit. We booked with the Alderman House less than a month from our wedding due to our first venue being destroyed by Hurricane Ian and Cece and their whole staff was amazingly accommodating, professional, and responsive. A few of our guests commented that the venue looked like something out of a movie. The bridal suite and groomsmen areas were exactly what you need for getting ready and made everything super convenient.

The place is beautiful, just had my prom there and it had valet parking and was just overall stunning. If you want to have a fancy event outside, I recommend it here.

Great little place to stay. Ww stayed in the guesthouse and it was very clean and lots of good little touches. It is definitely cozy though. Good for 1-2 people for a night or two.
