The Waits Mansion is an historic two-story Mediterranean Revival style house located at 209 West Kansas Avenue at the southwest corner of Hamlin Street in Bonifay, Holmes County, Florida. It was built by lumber company owner George Orkney Waits for his own use. It features recessed porches on each of the front floors with fluted Doric columns on the first floor porch. White wrought iron fencing is used on both porches as well as along the two bordering streets. The interior features a grand staircase from the large entrance foyer to a windowed landing with smaller stairways on the left and right leading to the second floor. Until recently, it was used as a bed and breakfast, but it is currently being offering for sale.[1][2]
In 1989, the mansion was listed by its street address in A Guide to Florida's Historic Architecture, published by the University of Florida Press.[1]
