The House on Cinder Blocks

[MrMark]

Interested in knowing the story of the house on Cinder Blocks that is located at the intersection of Buena Vista Blvd. and Bonita blvd. Will look forward to any information you may be able to provide.

There was the same basic question three years ago. https://www.talkofthevillages.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8585

I just went further in Google and found a little info at
http://www.mldarchitects.com/prj_historic/698%20i%20house/698.htm
"Constructed about 1885 and added on to several times over the years, the Brinson-Perry house is located east of Oxford Florida. The reconstruction of CR 466 to a four lane urban facility pushed the road too close to the house. In order to preserve the historic structure and return it to its turn of the century appearance, the house was moved approximately four miles southeast to a visually prominent position, adjacent to a new fire station. The structure was rehabilitated to fire department offices and file storage."

Still doesn't tell us much but maybe Google can say more eventually - or a good area historian will answer for us all.

I would LOVE to have a real history of this place including some in depth information on just how the Morse family are...when you know them really well.

Wonder if that will ever happen?

Thanks for the info.
If the structure is that old and wood... a fire station is the perfect spot
