Philemon Nathaniel Bryan House. . Philemon and Lucy Bryan's home was built in 1905 by contractor Edwin T. King at the request of their two sons, Reed and Tom. Philemon and Lucy first lived in a wood-frame house that had been converted into the Bryan Hotel. The New River Inn replaced the Hotel. This house is built of locally made hollow-concrete block, in the then fashionable Colonial Revival style. During World War II it served as a boarding house for young women whose husbands were in the service. The house is the oldest remaining example of residential masonry architecture in Fort Lauderdale.
