Historic Homes Tell Jupiter’s History

They say home is where the heart is, and for more than 100 years, Jupiter has held the hearts of thousands of individuals. Many have called Jupiter home, and over the years, the homes of some of the earliest Jupiter residents have become cherished parts of our community. A celebration of Jupiter’s 100th birthday is as much a celebration of these early individuals and the historic homes they left us as it is of Jupiter itself.
Several of these early homes have received a Locally Designated Site distinction from the Town and are now featured on the Town’s Historic Map. The Sims House, now a popular local restaurant, celebrated its 100th birthday in December 2024, while the historic Dubois Pioneer Home is the centerpiece attraction at Dubois Park. The Councilor’s House, still a private residence today, housed three of the Town’s early Council members, while the Brooker House and Alice Kitching Benton House were home to some of Jupiter’s early families.
