The house was abandoned probably over 15 years ago when a storm condemned it, and ever since it has been a favorite place of mine before, during, and after a lived in Marco Island, FL. We always used this house as a land mark. It is on the southern tip of an uninhabited island which meant we could to anything we wanted here. Often we would have bonfires, camp, or spend the weekend out here near the house. It was our favorite place because there was never anyone else around for miles. I can't remember a bad experience on this beach, and I have never been to that part of Florida without going out there to throw a party, or just go fishing. In later years the hose has been overtaken by the water and we can't go inside anymore, but it is still standing. I'm sure sooner or later it will fall down in a storm, but it will still always be one of my favorite places on earth.
Todd,
ReplyDeleteFascinating entry! What a place! And to have it all to yourself--that is the stuff poetry is made of. Thanks, too, for the fabulous images of this house, which looks futuristic to me. Great use of the space here.
