Built in 1838 by Thomas Orman, this antebellum home overlooking the Apalachicola River was used for both business and social gatherings. Orman was a cotton merchant and businessman in Apalachicola from 1834 to the 1880s. He helped the tiny town become one of the Gulf Coast’s most important cotton exporting ports by the mid-19th century. The house features details of both Federal and Greek revival styles with wooden mantelpieces, molded plaster cornices and wide heart-pine floorboards. Visit the adjoining Chapman Botanical Gardens, which honors Dr. Alvin Chapman, a distinguished 19th-century
