The house El Nido was built by the Tyndall family in about 1894. The Schroeders were hired as property managers after the property was sold to A.A. DeGraw in 1902, and the property was then called Arbela Plantation.
Charles Racey built this three story wood frame house and started a pineapple and citrus plantation in 1891. The house was built on a 4,000 year old Indian shell mound created by the Ais Indians and named "Mount Elizabeth." The land was purchased by his father, William Henry Racey, in the late 1850s. The house burned down in 1921 and the property was sold to a New York judge. The Tuckahoe mansion was later built on the site.
