Save Our Historic Zephyrhills American Legion Post 118

Zephyrhills American Legion Post 118, located in the heart of Zephyrhills, Florida, is in urgent need of your help to preserve its historic building and continue its mission of supporting veterans and the community. Built in 1910 by the Grand Army of the Republic, our building has served as a cornerstone for veterans in Pasco County. For over a century, it has been a gathering place for our community, a space for camaraderie, and a symbol of our country’s gratitude for those who have served.

However, years of neglect have taken their toll. A recent fire inspection revealed that we must make immediate repairs to our electrical panel to meet safety codes—an essential $7,000 investment to avoid the risk of the Post being shut down. But this is just the beginning.

What Needs To Be Done
  • Electrical Panel Update: To meet fire code and ensure the building's safety.
  • Kitchen and Porch Repairs: Both are in urgent need of updates to remain functional and safe for our members.
  • Ceiling and Floor Repairs: The structure's stability has been compromised, and repairs are critical to prevent further deterioration.
  • Insulation Installation: Florida's intense heat and humidity have made our building unbearably hot in the summer. Insulating the floors will help reduce utility costs, protect against pests, and improve overall comfort.
  • Other Miscellaneous Repairs: The list is long.
  • Estimated Total Cost: $25,000.

Why It Matters

This building isn't just a building—it's part of Zephyrhills, Florida history. In fact, it was the largest framed structure in Pasco County when it was first built and played a role in the creation of Zephyrhills itself in 1914. For over a century, Zephyr Post 118 has been a hub for veterans, community events, and outreach programs that benefit all members of Zephyrhills.

Now, more than ever, it needs your support to survive.
