Gilbert’s Bar House of Refuge

016
  Refuge houses were built along the east coast of Florida in the late 1800s to shelter shipwreck victims until they could continue their journey. The shelters were important because there were no roads and few towns.

The house is handicapped accessible but there is little parking, just a few spaces long enough for cars. We managed to park sideways in the handicap spot but a larger RV will not fit. The admissions building has a set of steps but there’s also a gate and a ramp to the back door. The gate was locked. Tony had to go inside and get someone to unlock it for us.  House of Refuge
