    Glenn Sample, a pioneer in radio advertising from Chicago, acquired two square miles of marshland at the southern tip of what was Naples Florida. Stretching from 21st Avenue South to Gordon pass, bound on the west by the Gulf of Mexico and on the east by Naples Bay makes for one of the best locations to enjoy all that Naples has to offer. Boating, fishing, kayaking, walking the beautiful sand beaches, catching the grand views of the Gulf of Mexico and its famous sunsets.
    Starting in the late 1940’s with a vision Glenn Sample said “My ambition is to make Port Royal the finest place in the world to live”. In the early 50’s Glenn Sample brought in to the town of Naples heavy earth moving and dredging equipment and began dredging and filling the marsh lands to create numerous man made peninsulas into deep water access residential building lots overlooking the waterways, coves and Napes Bay.
    At its time this was quite an engineering undertaking. Over many years and investing 3.5 million into his ambitious dream Sample developed 600 single family estate lots with deep water access to Gordon Pass and estate lots looking over the Gulf of Mexico.

    • @brimanco
      @brimanco 6 місяців тому +11

      The completed lots, one half acre and up, began selling for $7500 to $12,000 and the spec homes that Sample developed sold for $22,000 to $25,000. A good sum of money back in those days. Today a vacant lot may be had for around $4,000,000 and completed homes valued as high as $30,000,000 on the Gulf of Mexico.
      So this was the guy that built the whole neighborhood! Awesome story

    for a doorknob to be an antique it would have to be from the 1880’s , not 1980. Antiques are defined by being 100+ years old. your 1980 knob would be considered vintage.

I maximized the value. The gutters were copper but painted so that was scrapped for number 2. The downspouts and all the parts to attach them I saved.

    The door knobs, back in the day, 80's-90's, were called "melon" knobs from Baldwin. They came in many finishes. They were an artful "elite" version for decorators. I still have some that I purchased from a hardware company that I worked for a long time ago. That "melon line" has been discontinued by Baldwin but certain websites still have old clean stock. Many cheaper look-a-likes are available but none have the Baldwin quality and heaviness to them.

I remember the house owned by Anderson of Anderson windows it was a $4million home but the yacht behind it was easily worth $7million, 80's dollars, or the man I met who also owned one of the homes on the beach told me he doesn't get here very often and told me story how his wife bought him a new ferarrii for a birthday present and he lost it for over 6 years eventually finding it in one of his airplane hangers out in Nevada. surely an interesting place. with some very interesting people

      One property/home on five acres on the Gulf in Port Royal on Gordon Drive was on the market several years ago for $72 million, then the most expensive property for sale in all of Florida, I believe. It finally sold after being on the market for at least four years for $38 million. It was an absolutely beautiful home, with an allee of royal palms lining a long dive up to the house. Nearly ever bit of landscaping, and, of course, the house, were ripped out and a new monstrosity planned. The property taxes were already nearly $500,000 per year!

We have a thing here called demo by neglect where developers purchase perfectly sound buildings and let it go to ruin just so they can tear it down. There are two sides to every story. Unfortunately this home had run its course and the lot was worth more than the home that sat on it.

Our original charming downtown is destroyed, and OVER BUILT, with new crap consuming every square inch of overpriced real estate! I'm totally disgusted and I've been here only 19 years! I know many who were born here and I do not understand how they aren't completely devastated by what's happened to this once sleepy, pristine and beautiful downtown of OLD NAPLES! It's an absolute disgrace!! Watching original 90-year old cottages being torn down prompted me to buy two, combined onto one property, restore them and keep them from the wrecking ball and money-hungry developers. Hurricane Ian nearly took them down, flooding them with storm, sea and sewerage water. I watched from the east coast of FL as one could be seen on the evening news in the viral video of the Naples Fire and Rescue Squad. Thankfully, I had an overwhelming urge to sell them before the hurricane hit!

      its a 22 million dollar construction site with a house in the way. Noone involved in the sale / ownership / design / construction has the time to wrangle up keys from an owner that probably lives out of state. Most of the people involved probably don't even live within 100 miles of the place. Why would anyone spend more then 10 minutes to deliver keys? they are just going to be the first thing thrown in the dumpster when demo starts.
      24h after this video was filmed the building didn't even have doors anymore.

    Seems like a so-so 1980s construction with some nice features. I agree with the new owner, remove anything of value and remove this house from the property. for that view, the rear windows are way insufficient. This house, were it further inland, would be worth maybe $600-800k. The house drags down the value of the site it's on.
