The George Adderley House (also known as the Bahamian House) is a historic home in the City of Marathon, Florida, United States. It is located at 5550 Overseas Highway. On September 10, 1992, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
Adderley was a Sponge collector from the Bahamas who built the house in 1903. He lived there until his death in 1958. Some of the tools and utensils used by him and his family are on display. A small community of sponge fishers later developed there. While only a small outbuilding near the Adderley House remains, the site has been excavated and some of the items that were found are in the nearby Museum of Natural History of the Florida Keys.
Located at Crane Point Museum & Nature Center, visitors may walk through the house as part of the admission fee to the non-profit nature center. Every January, Crane Point hosts a Bahamian Heritage Festival which celebrates the Bahamian heritage in the Florida Keys
