House of Refuge

Ten were built along Florida's Atlantic Coastline to provide shelter for victims of shipwrecks and other travelers. This is the only one that remains. It is now a museum (but, alas, closed on this day).

Cool idea. I did not know of these.

Great find and shot. I love these old houses, it must have been a blessing for the shipwrecked people.

I am really looking forward to getting to spend more time in Florida. I think I need to put this place on my list of places to visit. Great shot.
