Description
As dawn breaks upon the shore of Hutchinson Island, three seabirds ride the wind flying past The House of Refuge The sandy shore ripples as the ocean waves crash upon the rocky outcrops of craggy limestone. The currents of sea and sky awaken in the morning light.
Gilbert’s Bar House of Refuge was built in 1876 and is the last surviving house of refuge of 10 originally built all along Florida’s coast to aid shipwreck victims. Florida's house of refuge program started between 1876 to 1886 due to the need to prevent the high loss of life and sailing ships from hurricanes and dangerous reefs in a then largely unpopulated Florida. This historic building is on a picturesque portion of beach called the St. Lucie Rocks. Outcroppings of Anastasia limestone line the shoreline.
