While in Washington DC, I stopped by Florida House, located right one block east of the Supreme Court. Florida House is a “home away from home” for Floridians visiting our nation’s capital.
Described as a “state embassy”, Florida is the only state to have a facility of its type. Florida House is a nonprofit organization funded solely through the generosity of Florida citizens and businesses. I was greeted by Megan (a Nebraskan, actually, but a wonderful Florida ambassador) who offered me a tall glass of Florida orange juice and provided some background on Florida House.
Florida House was founded by Rhea Childs, wife of then Florida Governor Lawton Childs in 1973. Housed is an 1881 townhouse, Florida house offers a relaxing home away from home.
