What People Are Saying About Stranahan, House Inc
Featured Review

In Short – Frank Stranahan jumped in the New River in 1929, despondent over health concerns and finances that were heavily damaged by the Hurricanes of 1926 and 1928. Ivy eventually turned the house into a restaurant; it passed to the city after her death and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Today, it is open to the public several days a week and is available for weddings and private parties.

Going back in time
by mrspemily at Citysearch
I don't know how this gem survived all these years...there's nothing around it but Hi-rise condos, a hotel parking garage and some over-priced eateries (it's right behind The Cheesecake Factory). We spent a wonderful hour touring and being entertained by a very knowledgeable guide--he really looked old enough to have known the people who lived in the house. Stranahan House is quaint and quirky...an enchanting was to spend a rainy afternoon.
- Pros: Very unique, excellent restoration
- Cons: Parking!
