Description	Bank president and real estate developer Columbus W. Deen built this magnificent home at the corner of Success Avenue and McDonald Street in Lakeland, Florida in 1912 for the then princely sum of $15,000. It was sold after Deen's death in 1927 and briefly served as a private hospital and sanitarium in the mid-1930's. It was deeded to Florida Southern College in 1940. The college used the building as a dormitory and fraternity house. The college sold the house in 1994 and it is currently being restored. It is one of the finest examples of "prairie architecture" in Lakeland.
