Moulton-Wells House
- Also Known As: Eldora State House
- Address: Eldora Rd
- Vicinity: W of Eldora Rd
The Moulton-Wells House was built between the years 1913 through 1926 for Marion Moulton, widow of Julius Moulton. It first appeared on county tax rolls in 1920. Mrs Moulton passed away in 1926 and is buried in Bellefontaine Cemetery, St Louis, Missouri. Mrs Moulton's heirs sold the residence to Walter M Wells in 1927. Wells improved the home by landscaping the grounds, maintaining its outbuildings and cultivating a substantial garden and citrus grove.
The Wells house at Eldora hosted many guests, including the long-established Sams family of New Smyrna. Frank Sams had been a six-term senator to the Florida state legislature from 1899 through 1910, and was appointed Superintendent of the Seventh District of the US Life-Saving Service in 1885, a geographic region that included the Atlantic coast of Florida and the Mosquito Lagoon House Of Refuge, four miles south of Eldora proper. One of his sons, Murray Sams, had represented Voiusia County as a state attorney and judge, and was an advocate for Eldorans in real estate transactions. Another of Frank Sams' sons, Howard, founded the Eldora Land Company in the early 1920s. It is maintained by at least three New Smyrna octogenarians that the name "State House" became the local reference to the house that Marion Moulton built by virtue of the Sams family association with Eldora for so many years.
