The Amos Kling House is a historic house located in Daytona Beach, Florida. It is locally significant for its association with the development of the resort community of Daytona Beach during the early 20th century.

Description

[edit]

Constructed in 1907, the 2+12-story house has an irregular floor-plan. The frame structural system is finished on all elevations with weatherboard siding and wood shingles. It rests on a brick pier foundation with lattice infill. The cross-gable roof is sheathed with asphalt shingles. The vernacular residence is enlivened by features associated with the Shingle Style. It was the summer home of Amos Kling, the father-in-law of U.S. President Warren Harding. Currently a restaurant, the Cellar, occupies the first floor.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 2, 1993.
