The Lesesne House
“The Crown Jewel on Centre Street
Located in the heart of downtown, The Lesesne House is the last great estate on Centre Street and has enchanted visitors to this idyllic setting for more than four centuries.
The Lesesne House stands proudly along historic Centre Steet. Distinguished on the National Register for Historic Places, this beautifully restored estate offers an unparalleled backdrop for one-of-a-kind meetings, weddings, corporate receptions and private celebrations.
This Classical Revival style residence, built by Dr. John F. Lesesne circa 1860, is one of the oldest homes in Fernandina Beach. Lesesene left Fernandina during the Civil War and did not return. In 1868 the house became the property of the family of Judge John Friend, who had been appointed district tax commissioner after the war by President Andrew Johnson. This double galleried home, constructed of hand-hewn lumber fastened with wooden pegs, is one of the major points of interest in the Fernandina Beach Historic District which was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
The Main House showcases 1800's architecture with period furnishings, an expansive front porch and grand lawn and courtyard gardens.
