I recall a house and land for $3,500.00 before the bridge was built. Anyone remember that long ago? The original homes were constructed on the east side of island.
As I recall one of the original buyers of a home before the bridge - refused to pay for the construction of bridge. There was a court case or something. House owner lost as I recall and had to pay a share of cost of bridge.
I also recall the original white house on island being torn down in sections and driven on flatbed truck to be reassembled someplace else. Don't recall where.
