Just south of Marco Island, in the 10,000 Islands NWR. Built in the early 80s, the futuristic home was later abandoned and ravaged by hurricanes. It was originally almost a quarter mile from the Gulf, erosion has changed the landscape and it currently resides in the water.

Hello there,
I noticed that you link to an article about The Cape Romano Dome House here.
I recently published an article that is extremely thorough, current and detailed that also includes video footage: https://britonthemove.​com/domehomes/ (external link)
This new article may be beneficial to your readers and may help refresh some of your existing content.
I understand if sharing a link is not permitted.
I hope you’ll consider sharing or linking to this.
Thanks in advance – Nikki – Brit on the Move

Thank you! Glad you liked it :) I am super excited that it did not get washed away with Dorian and survived this season. If you have not seen them you must do it soon :)

Ps, I don't think I have notifications on so can't tell when people reply - how do I fix that?

Thanks Nikki
