The Abbey House, known by various names such as The Abbey, The Foxtail Estate, Thompson's General Store, Doremus House, or Rhodes House, is significant in Daytona Beach history. This remarkable property was granted the honor of being added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 8, 1987. Its rich heritage is closely associated with two notable individuals, Laurence Thompson and Harrison G. Rhodes, who shaped the city's early history.
Laurence Thompson, a prominent figure in the community, was one of its earliest settlers and a distinguished merchant and city official. His profound contributions to the town's development left an indelible mark. On the other hand, Harrison G. Rhodes, an esteemed American author and drama critic, significantly impacted Daytona Beach and the entire state of Florida. His most noteworthy achievement was his support for the early development of Bethune-Cookman College. This institution is one of Florida's first and most influential educational establishments dedicated to providing higher education opportunities to the African American population.
Recognizing The Abbey House's historical significance, Daytona Beach took a special initiative in 2016. January 21st was declared "The Abbey Day" to commemorate this distinguished residence as it reached an impressive milestone of 140 years on Beach St. This remarkable event stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of this home and its place in the community's heritage.
