Some choose to follow their own path. When you’re a retired businessman, what do you do to keep busy? Fish? Paint? Travel? Build a house consisting of six dome-shaped modules on stilts in Florida, and then never move in?
The Cape Romano Dome House – now abandoned – is a house consisting of six dome-shaped modules on stilts, located approximately 300 feet offshore from Cape Romano Island (as of 2019), south of Marco Island, in the Ten Thousand Islands of Collier County, Florida.
It was constructed in 1979 by retired businessman Bob Lee, abandoned in 1992, and sold in 2005 to John Tosto. The structure was never meant to be accessible by boat, and has no landings or docking facilities.
In 2018, the Collier County Code Enforcement division closed the case on the domes and ownership transferred to the state. While the fate of the Domes is still in debate, four of the domes are still standing.
