 This American Classical design house was built about 1901 for Stuart Knox Gillis, a teacher and prominent attorney. Mrs. Gillis stenciled the walls of the first floor rooms, which was quite unusual at the time. After Mr. and Mrs. Gillis died one week apart in 1931, the house was occupied by the President of Palmer College. From 1940-1965, the house was owned by Marshall Lightfoot, a pharmacist who owned Lightfoot's Pharmacy and the Lake Hotel, which were located in the current Hotel DeFuniak.
