Built in 1951 at the onset of Fort Lauderdale's post-war development boom, the Dr. Willard Van Orsdel King House exemplifies mid-century modern design adapted to subtropical living. Designed by architect William F. Bigoney, the three-bedroom home prioritizes natural light and passive cooling through a large central room with expansive two-wall window configurations that form the building's organizing axis. The residence was home to Willard Van Orsdel King, an entomologist specializing in mosquito control. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.
