Meh. I don’t care for “progressive” architecture, it wasn’t listed and there were no restrictions on what the owners could do with THEIR PROPERTY. If they didn’t like it, they were perfectly free to demolish it and build the house they want on that lot.
Here, a local ‘historic’ home was to be demolished for a new hotel. The local historic society busybodies tried to get it put on some preservation list at the state and federal levels.
They failed.
Then they raised a million or so dollars to have the house moved.
It was on Santa Rosa Sound, high on a hill.
They had to put it on rails to lower it to a barge on the Sound, then floated it several miles down stream to another vacant property across a major highway and reverse the process of moving it off the barge.
The house has been sitting there ever since, and is now falling in on itself, is an eyesore and a fire hazard..................
lots of “historic” double wide’s from the fifties to choose from but my personal fave has always been those sleek silver travel homes that are turned into diners. what’s NOT to like?
