The Tabby House, built in 1885 in Fernandina Beach, Florida, is a two-and-a-half-story Victorian residence designed by architect Robert Sands Schuyler. Despite its popular name, the house is not constructed from true tabby but rather from bricks made of concrete and local shells. The structure features a two-story veranda ornamented with carved posts and brackets, exemplifying the decorative character typical of Victorian-era domestic architecture in the region. Schuyler also designed the nearby Fairbanks House in the same year. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 4, 1973.
