George Lewis House " Spring House " Florida

The FLW FDN has posted a link to a person who has taken some excellent photos of this house. This persons name is : Krystyn Pecora which you may or may not be able to find on Facebook.

In lieu of this, or with some assistance from those more 'tuned in' - it is possible to go to my Facebook site, scroll down to "Spring House"and you should be able to see all the 66 photos.

To find me on Facebook : Michael Perrino - page has a photo of a reclining Buddha.

Any other help would be appreciated. BTW, it appears there is some preservation work going on to upgrade this house, but it was not stated as such.

They have made some serious progress in a very short time.

Let's see if a direct link to the album works:

Yes, the link works. Thanks egads!

Is this the house that was an overgrown, seeming near-ruin for decades?

It's one of them. We had a thread on it which links in turn to another:

Ahh, thank you, Reidy.

Here, you can click on a pdf file (over to the right) for additional info. Nice images of pre-eroded carport:

Considering the total lack of maintenance the house had for almost six decades, it seems in pretty good shape, and amazingly original.

Neglect is often much less destructive than architectural second guessing and invasive remodeling...

The photos have been removed from the link...any idea how to see some of them?

Palli, try the link posted by egads. It worked for me just now.

The second one showing dozens of people coming together to work on this place is truly one of the most inspiring things that I have seen in a long time...

ross, same site, same message. May have something to do with my own system or computer.

Just clicked again. No problem on my end. Curious!
