Zemurray Lodge Complex is locally significant in the area of architecture within the context of the Florida Parishes. The major interiors of the lodge are in the Arts and Crafts style of the early-twentieth century. These include the central hall of the old main house, the two main downstairs rooms of the old main house, the breakfast room, the dining room, and the recreation hall with its log cabin appearance. Features in these spaces which are normally associated with the Arts and Crafts movement include the wainscotting, the painted foliage, the medieval-looking beamed ceilings, the inglenook, and the Craftsman-looking staircase. In the case of the recreation hall, it should be noted that the log cabin idiom was recommended by Gustav Stickley as appropriate for lodges and vacation cabins. As far as the State Historic Preservation Office is aware, these interiors represent the most complete and elaborate example of Arts and Crafts interior design to be found in an eight parish area known collectively as the Florida Parishes. There are thousands of surviving bungalows in the region, but few, if any, have what could legitimately be described as Arts and Crafts interiors. Most have plain interiors with perhaps a brick mantel or a few oak cabinets. Moreover, many bungalows have Colonial Revival or Spanish Mission interior details. There is no other example of Arts and Crafts interior design known to the State Historic Preservation Office in the Florida Parishes which is even comparable to Zemurray Lodge. - Robert B DeBlieux, US NRHP, 1983
