The first entrance with Tiki rail poles. Looking up at some wonderful A frame carvings. It is also nice that the hangning lamps are still there unlike the apartments on Rosemeade. A closeup of a section of an A frame carving. Looking down from the A frame, you get a fine look at the first entry tiki. Tiki Mail Boxes grace each entrance. A now non functional fountain that sits just in front of the tall entry tiki. The second entry. A shot of one of the second entryway poles. A detail of said pole. The interior courtyard. The grounds are amazingly well kept. The great thing was getting there at sundown and watching the place transform befroe my eyes into a lost polynesian paradise. Even though the hanging lamps don't work, they are nicely backlit. [ Edited by: tikigardener on 2005-02-12 12:22 ]

The building still stands in its glory, but the one tall tiki just inside the gate is gone. And he was such a cooool tiki. More shots from this cool place. Entryway. Tiki Rail Pole Detail of A-Frame Carvings. From Inside The A-Frame Entrance. [ Edited by: TikiGardener 2007-02-28 19:26 ]

I don't really have anything to add to TikiGardener's original post except for a photo of the other mailbox. And some strange gold cats.
