In 1885 Edison purchased the property in Fort Myers, Florida to construct what was to become his winter home. This house, completed in 1887 and named "Seminole Lodge" was to be his retreat until his death in 1931. In addition Edison built another house that was to be used for his guests and a laboratory for experiments on these same grounds. In 1947 Edison's wife Mina deeds the Edison Estate to the City of Fort Myers for $1.00.
Now that's in MY price range! Looks real nice.
