| Seagate on Sarasota Bay |
Placed on the National Register of Historic Place in 1982 and purchased for renovation by our county, which operates it as a meeting, conference and event venue. Last year there were more than 150 weddings here and it is leased for parties and events for up to 400 people.
Rarely open to the public, it was open by reservation only on each Wed. in the month of March in celebration of our Historical Events each year.
I will tell you more about Powel Crosley the inventor in another post.

Very pretty. What a treat to get to see this. 1929 was the year mama was born.
What a beautiful home. I love tile roofs.

A grand old house.
I could live there :)
I'm with Dee, I could live there too. I'm pretty sure there's plenty of room for both of us there...lol
That is a gorgeous house. I wouldn't mind living in a place like that as long as I didn't have to clean those 10 bathrooms. LOL!
The name Crosley is very familiar, can't wait to hear more about his inventions.
It's beautiful and I can't imagine living in a house that big, but I'd give it my best shot if I had a chance! :)
