Chickee hut

The Seminole Indians typically build these large outdoor huts that have a roof and open sides. The one we sat under yesterday was huge, at least 30'x30'. I was noticing the detail of the structure. The cross timbers are all trees. The roofs are thatched. I find them fascinating.

These huts are gorgeous, I also find them fascinating. I was recently in Key Largo and they had a huge one there. Where is this one?

@lynnb Thanks, Lynn, the photo doesn't even pick up on all the amazing detail.

@anazad511 You love architecture, too! This one is in Boynton Beach:

@raineyday Thank you! The details were so much more, but I opted for a general photo. Not even sure how high it was, easily two stories.

@ianwm54 Thanks, Ian, I liked that, too.

@dreams I'd love to watch them build it!

[Caren]

That's such an interesting shot! The craftsmenship is amazing!

[Danette Thompson]

@clmiller It is even more amazing in person. Thanks for your comments!

[Thom Mitchell]

Very cool lines-and-patterns!

@rhoing Thanks, Thom. I was trying to get in as much of the structure as I could, so my emphasis was on the detail rather than a good photograph. Thanks for your comments!
