1. General Jacob Brown Mansion. Wikipedia entry
The mansion is a twenty-two room Georgian-style mansion hand-cut and made of blue limestone. General Jacob Jennings Brown planned on using it as a temporary jail for War of 1812 prisoners but the war ended before the mansion was fully finished. It remained in the Brown family but the family never lived there. (Submitted on December 25, 2016, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
