#17 -The Chrystal Cabin

From the book written in 1998.... 

This site belonged to the Simson's and was rented to a succession of people; among  them was Mr. Blair who was Calvert Simson's father-in-law, the McWhinney family, the Pantons, and the Carters.

 

When Buccaneer Bay Holdings

Company was formed, the site

was divided into three lots.

The present Davidson Cabin

is on the most easterly of the

three. Annables and Bernards

occupy the other two. The site

was originally bought by Art

and Mary Jones and then by

Bill and Gordon Davidson.

 

In 1974, Tricia and Mark

Davidson acquired the lot and

built the little cabin Woodpile

out of beach combed and

hand hewn wood. A cozy

place; Calm lived here year

round for his first two years.

 

In 1988, the Big House was

started. Over 10 years and

with the occasional helping

hands, the last window was finally put in.

 

The cabin is unique in many ways. The front porch has a tree growing through it that one year was the site of a hummingbird's nest. Walking by, one can still see woodpile through the breeze way that stretches front to back dividng the two sides of the house. This Big House is enjoyed year round by Mark, Calm, Elizabeth and Joseph.
