Historic Sanibel Home Gets Much-Needed Face Lift
A historic home on Sanibel Island is getting a much-needed face lift. The “Morning Glories” house was first built back in 1926. Eighty-five years later, Sanibel historians are taking steps to ensure the home is in it’s best shape yet.
It’s a true island treasure, carefully protected and preserved for over eight decades. The “Morning Glories” home was first delivered to Sanibel back in 1926, straight from a Sears Roebuck catalogue.
“This one is our pride and joy. It was lived in as a winter residence for a good part of the time from 1926 until 2001,” Sanibel Museum & Village President Alex Werner said Friday.
