We took a trip to the Edison-Ford Winter Estates in Ft. Myers. I was going for house ideas but it made for nice day trip. We really loved Edison's house. It had a modern layout with open rooms and french doors with transoms on all sides leading onto a porch all around. The layout is very close to the layout of The Glidehouse mentioned further down in this blog. Mr. Gotffried and I are in this picture only the other like-minded friends are missing. How we miss Brooklyn. Mina Edison sold the estate to the city of Ft. Myers for $1. Fords house next door sold by a private owner to the city for 1.2 mil in 1998. When Edison first bought the 13 acres in 1885 it could only be reached by boat. Visit the site at the Link.
