Holly Cottage, an historic house near Green Cove Springs in Clay County, Florida, is the sole surviving structure from the Hibernia Winter Resort, which operated as a winter retreat from the 1850s through 1940. Built in the late nineteenth century and executed in the Shingle style, the cottage represents an important remnant of Florida's post-Civil War tourism revival. The resort played a significant role in reestablishing the state as a destination for visitors seeking warmer climates. Holly Cottage was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 8, 2010.
