Allen D. Nease lived at this park site and built his beach house there in 1951. He hired architect Raliegh Pert and assisted with the design of the home with the Florida coastal landscape in mind. The home's distinctive interior reflected Nease's professional forestry background through heart pine wood floors, 12-inch bald cypress wall planking, native hardwood ceiling planking, and solid bald cypress ceiling beams in the living room. Nease was a pioneer of Florida's reforestation and conservation efforts in the mid-20th century.
