One of Brandon's most impressive homes, this landmark was built in 1905 for Ernest Lisle Christie, founder of the huge stationary and school supply business that still bears his name. Christie and his family lived here until 1934, and the house was occupied by other family members until 1966. The house was designed by renowned Brandon architect W.A. Elliott and was constructed by the local firm of G.C. Taylor. The house is a modest interpretation of the popular Queen Anne style, an architectural expression that was very popular for house designs from about 1880 to 1910.
