The George F. Allison House is a historic house located at 418 West Duval Street in Live Oak, Florida, United States. It is locally significant as the home of George F.

Description and history

Although the actual construction date and builder of the house are not known, the house is shown on a 1903 Sanborn Insurance map. The large, two-story, Colonial Revival style house was given its present appearance when it was remodeled in 1927 after 40% of the rear was damaged by a fire on New Years Day. Since then, however, very little about the house or the surrounding lot has changed. On April 20, 1995, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
