The house wasn't built. It was rebuilt. My grandfather's father

00:04.500 --> 00:09.000
took down the Great Switchback coaster in the eighteen-nineties

00:09.000 --> 00:13.500
and used the timber for the family home. The porch trellis, the

00:13.500 --> 00:17.500
railings, all of it — you could still see the grain of the coaster

00:17.500 --> 00:22.000
in the wood. Guests used to ask if that pattern was decorative.

00:22.000 --> 00:26.500
It was structural. When the Army moved the fence in nineteen-thirty-eight

00:26.500 --> 00:31.000
they rolled the house up the shore on log skids. My father remembered

00:31.000 --> 00:35.500
the sound of it. They called it Building 600 after that and the

00:35.500 --> 00:40.000
family kept living in it. We ran the beach behind it for another

00:40.000 --> 00:44.500
twenty-four years. In January of sixty-two the letter came, and

00:44.500 --> 00:49.000
the state took the last ten acres, and by the following autumn

00:49.000 --> 00:54.000
we were gone. Building 600 is still there. That's the strange

00:54.000 --> 00:60.000
sentence at the end. They took it, and then they did nothing.
