I think Captain Hooks or whatever was the next to last occupant. I can't prove it of course but I'm standing by my story that the original round building, covered with shingles on all surfaces, was some sort of chain Tiki Bar. I'm pretty sure the other buildings in the chain looked the same way. The entire outer surface was smooth and curved and came to a center projection at the top that was cylindrical, which is where I think some of the cooking exhaust were. There was a partial veranda around the outside, which would be within the volume of the building: sections of the curved, shingle covered wall were sort of removed to expose the inner walkway.

Heck, now I'll have to drive down that way this week to confirm or deny if the building is still there, and get an address.
