Bunk House/Cook House, Santa Rosa Island
From Islapedia
Bunk House/Cook House, Santa Rosa Island was one of the oldest buildings on the island, dating to the More era of the 19th century. On November 3, 1968, a fire was ignited, thought to have been caused by a burning cigarette of the island's cook, Howard Anderson. The building was a total loss and Anderson died in the fire.
Al Vail and Bill Wallace designed a new comedor/bunk house, first drawing it on a napkin before having an architect draw the plans. Once completed, a sign above the table said:
- All our guests bring us happiness.
Some on arrival, some on departure.
