The Nassau County, Florida courthouse at Fernandina Beach.
A must see on any trip to Amelia Island, Florida. The Historic District is one of America’s best!
The Nassau County Courthouse is still in operation today – many rooms have been put back to their original condition (1891 to 1920s).

A favorite of mine to photograph – the interior of our c1911 post office here on Amelia Island. For the most part it’s survived its 115 year plus history pretty much intact. I’m told that this is exactly the same way this door has looked since 1911. Amazing.
Beautiful quartersawn oak – excellent casework and attention to detail. Can you imagine replicating this today?
Thanks for stopping by!

Buckets along Centre Street, Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island – Florida.

Located in what is known as Old Town (Fernandina Beach) overlooking the Amelia River on the northwest side of Amelia Island. Originally built around 1870 for a harbor pilot Captain Bell and the second owner was also a river captain in 1901. Located on a high bluff at 212 Estrada Street, it overlooks the former Spanish fort San Carlos (c1811).
It’s a lovely house that’s been restored and maintained throughout the decades. It stood in as Pippi Longstocking’s house in the late 1980s movie “The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking”… “The house was altered and remodeled through the years. When movie producers came calling in 1987, it was its original weathered white with hunter green shutters. The house stood in for Villa Villekulla, the fictional home of Pippi, a character in a series of books written by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren. The young girl lives alone in a small Swedish village sharing the house with her monkey and horse. She befriends the two children living next door, Tommy and Annika Settergren, and they have many adventures together.”
Today it is a private residence and is not open for tours. It’s a very easy to photograph house because of the large open area in front of the house (actually Fernandina Plaza Historic State Park).
The “Pippi Longstocking House” on Amelia Island. Built c1870
If you find yourself near Amelia Island it is well worth the visit (don’t miss the 40 block Historic District of Fernandina Beach while you’re at it).

Almost everywhere in Florida was affected by Hurricane Irma – some more directly than others and of course some suffered a complete loss of their homes, businesses, cars and lives. The difficult journey of recovering from the damage and destruction will be a long one and some will just give up and go.
Our corner of Northeast Florida (our little island) for the most part did pretty well considering where we are located. Closer to home, our neighborhood had damage but the homes came through. We lost our power for 61 hours – a small time really compared to what others will see.
These pictures are from around 8 AM or so on Monday morning (9-11-2017) – the winds were still gusting into the high 60 mph range with some gusts to near 90 mph in the predawn hours.
Neighbors house avoids getting damaged from a rather large oak branch.
Directly behind our house on another street. This was about a 60 foot oak that blew down and missed the house completely.
Just outside the neighborhood at the beach. Just after the highest water was receding.
At the beach. Only a few poles came down.
Some damage along the beach road (above and below).
By the afternoon on Monday, the strongest onshore winds were past but the ocean was still very rough.
The best to all that are suffering through their recoveries from Harvey and Irma.
