Shattuck house, c. 1920

House near the water, home of E.J. Shattuck. Helen Saunders purchased Ruxton Plantation in 1899 and became the "Pineapple Queen of the Florida East Coast" and owned a fleet of fishing boats. After financial problems forced her to sell Ruxton, she lived in nearby empty houses, including this house.
