These two 5 by 3 3/4 inch sepia toned snapshots show images of the Coral Castle in Homestead, Florida. The Coral Castle is an amazing sculpture garden made of coral rock (oolite limestone) which was quarried and built entirely by hand by Edward Leedskalnin, a small, eccentric immigrant from Latvia. He worked on the castle from 1923 to 1951. These photos are stamped with the date September 30, 1951 - Leedskalnin died on December 7 of that year. One photo has a rare view of the builder\'s wooden cabin perched atop a large block of stone. Typed on the back of the photos is \"Return to W.E. Thornbrough 620 English Street, High Point, NC\". I\'ve not been able to learn anything about the photographer - I don\'t know if he was a professional photographer or a hobbyist. The photos are sharp and clear and of very good quality, but they are quite creases - see last photo shot in bright sun.
