HIGHLAND PARK, FL – Casa de Josefina, the iconic 1920s mansion in Highland Park, marks a milestone this year, commemorating 50 years since its addition to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
Built in 1923 by banker Irwin Yarnell as a loving gift to his wife, Josefina, the mansion stands as a testament to the architectural elegance and historical significance of Florida’s early 20th-century land boom.
Reflecting the Mediterranean Revival style popular in the 1920s, Casa de Josefina’s stucco walls, arched windows, and tiled roof capture the romantic spirit of the era. The mansion not only served as a family home but also became a social hub, contributing to the growth and identity of Highland Park during a transformative period in Florida’s history.
Preserved for its architectural integrity and cultural role, the mansion remains a proud landmark.
