Hallstrom House

The Hallstrom House (also known as the Hallstrom Farmstead) is a historic house in Vero Beach, Florida. It is located at 1723 Southwest Old Dixie Highway.

Description and history
Beginning as a 40 acre pineapple plantation in 1909 the main house was erected by Swedish horticulturist Axel Hallström. With help from Norse and Swedish craftsmen, the structure was completed in 1918. Later on, after Axel moved on to the citrus business, he eventually moved out. After Axel Hallström's death in 1966, his daughter continued the citrus business until the 1980s. In July 2000, efforts to preserve the remaining 5 acre plantation were achieved when Ruth Hallström willed them for the sole purpose of preserving the farmhouse. On June 6, 2002, the farmhouse was added to the United States National Register of Historic Places.
