Jova House, now home of Casablanca Café, was built in 1927 for its original owner, Mrs. J.J. Jova. The two-story masonry dwelling, commissioned by Juan Jacinto Jova, was designed by architect Francis L. Abreu, Jova’s grandson. It was the first home constructed on Fort Lauderdale Beach and is its oldest remaining structure.
