This presentation sounds so cool - I wish I could go!
Wow, a Coconut Grove blog! I'm authentically feeling faint from Happy Nostalgia! Spent lots of happy hours at the MoS&P!
But I found your blog 'cause I need some help. Please help!
In the late 1970s I lived in Coconut Grove (at Mary and Grand) for two wonderful years.
Just around the corner heading for downtown CG I'd pass a well-known tourist attraction, a famous waterfront home which I believe had been built by the millionaire yachtsman Commodore Vanderbilt, possibly in the 1920s. In the days before air-conditioning, it was famous for using state-of-the-art sailing/yachting technology, automatically moving booms and sails, to catch every breeze, direct the breezes into the living spaces, and keep the house cool and comfortable.
I wish my fuzzy memory could give you more specifics, but that's the best that's left of what I recall from 25 years ago. The home must have been on state and national registers of historic places, and so may have survived the pressures of development and still be there.
Does this ring a bell? Do you know the name of the famous house? Can you direct me to websites about it or any useful information?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
I miss Coconut Grove a lot; I was a young bachelor and a reporter for The Miami News, and Coconut Grove was the greatest neighborhood I ever lived in. I could bore you for hours with all the fun and good times I had there.
