Robert and Carole Leher did a fantastic job of researching and photographing some of the iconic estates along the Gulf of México, here in sunny Naples...proceeds from sales benefit the Naples Historical Society...
Former Swanson estate, Naples
You may recall I had posted about this house (above) which is included in the new book. I sent a copy of the book to old friend Thomas Britt, since he had decorated the Swanson house...

Artist Paul Arsenault was commissioned to render beautiful images, one of which was used on the cover of the book. Enjoy! DF *****
More exciting news! One of my favorite of the newer homes in Old Naples has just gone on the market~ the personal family residence of architect Eugene Martin, it commands attention with its Beaux Arts facade, facing both Fifth Avenue South and Gulf Shore Boulevard. Kudos to top real estate professional, Bill Earls, for listing yet another iconic and grand, yet family oriented property! The most enticing thing about this house is that one can walk to the beach (across the boulevard) or just one block to the famed restaurants of Fifth Avenue, including Bice, Tulia, Hob Nob, La Bazenne, etcetera~or take the jitney to the Port Royal club ! Enjoy! DF *****
