I wonder if, while it was being built, the neighbors expected two of every type of animal to be brought in? [Mike, 03/24/2010]
Boat and Lighthouse Home John Ringling's boat captain built this in the 1930s. His wife wanted to live on dry land and he wanted to live on a boat (with attached lighthouse). It is a private house, but to drive by and see it is quite awesome. [alice wright, 03/05/2007]
