LILIAN PLACE rentals for events, meetings, or parties available.
The Trust has purchased the historic Hotchkiss House thanks to an ECHO Grant from Volusia County! We ask your support in helping us repair and renovate this mansion located next door to Lilian Place Historic House. Our goal is to combine both properties to create a larger riverfront site for cultural events and public use. With Lilian Place as an 1884 museum, Hotchkiss House will become the event site with indoor and outdoor capacity for educational and cultural programs as well as rental for private events.
We ask for volunteers to help: carpenters, painters, plasterers, roofers, tree cutters, inside cleaning and landscape work. The Trust has expanded with two historic sites to manage, and we need your help: we need office workers to help with records and welcome center, and even a membership coordinator to manage volunteers and make phone calls to those without email. If you can help, please call 386-212-3249. We are all volunteers trying to preserve these historical sites and provide a lovely cultural event site for community.
We need your help to accomplish our goal of restoring and preserving these wonderful properties! All donations will be used to renovate these historic sites and develop the two+ acres of riverfront for community use. Please join or renew your membership. Corporate and higher level donations will be listed on our brochures, website, and facebook. Help the all-volunteer non-profit Trust preserve history and create a beautiful event site open to all the community!!

The mission of the Heritage Preservation Trust is to work for preservation and restoration of historical artifacts, buildings, lands, and sites in Volusia County through educational programs, fund raising, and grant acquisition.
Many lovely homes and historical
sites have already been destroyed because they are not protected by a local historical overlay and proper zoning. Historic properties are an important part of our culture and provide a positive economic and social impact on communities. Residents in our historic
neighborhoods are working hard to stabilize and improve their properties and need everyone's help.
We are a non-profit organization established by concerned citizens to help preserve the architectural and historical heritage of the Volusia County area.
Please join as a member and become a FRIEND OF LILIAN PLACE!

Lilian Place
Lilian Place is the oldest house on Daytona's beachside. This Italianate Victorian house was built in 1884 by one of the city's first settlers Laurence Thompson. Lilian Place sat abandoned and neglected until December of 2009, when the Trust was awarded a Volusia County ECHO Grant to acquire this significant site. After two years of community support, Lilian Place is now open to the public as a fully furnished museum, but there is still restoration work to be done!
Hotchkiss House
The Hotchkiss House is located next door to Lilian Place. In 1905 Eliphalet Hubbell Hotchkiss had this grand Victorian turreted mansion built overlooking the Halifax River. This property has been sadly neglected and the mansion and grounds need repairs which will require donations of funds and manpower.
The Trust is a member of the Florida Historical Society.
Hotchkiss House: acquired through an ECHO grant in August 2012.
The rotted wood structures at the 1905 Hotchkiss House are being removed and the old original foundation is emerging. Now that the roof leaks are repaired and termites exterminated, architect plans are being drawn up for renovation of the inside area as well as the outside patio area. The goal is to create a cultural center for historical and educational programs and community meetings. This will complement the Lilian Place 1884 Historical Museum as well as provide a larger venue for outdoor events.
The Trust is seeking a retired handyman or a married couple who is willing to do lawncare and maintenance in exchange for residency at the historic Lilian Place site. Clean background check, no smoking or drug use history, physically able to perform the chores required, qualified references, and professional demeanor in working with the public are prerequisites. Please call 386-299-4974 or 386-212-3249 if you are interested in applying.
We always need volunteers! Cleaning and dusting, yard cleanup, painting, carpentry work, etc. so if you can help please call 386-299-4974 or 386-212-3249. Or just come help Saturday mornings starting at 9:30am.
The Lilian Place Craft Guild now meets at the historic site every Thursday starting at 1PM. If you are interested in old fashioned crafts, quilting, and sewing of costumes, etc. please join us. 386-212-3249
