They have a bunch of these along the Ohio in Southern Indiana. Sorta jolting from an aesthetic perspective to see 4-5 of these in a row, go around the corner, and see the opulence that is the Caesars' casino (g).

I grew up on the Gulf Coast of South Florida and the Everglades.

In the 50's "fish houses" were off shore in costal areas. The small fishermen would off load fish, crabs, oysters, etc. They were on pole "stilts"/ telephone poles. The fish house moved the food to shore and market.

There might be a few to photograph, but they are now gone for ever. One place driving into the FL Keys, a bar was called the _Tilting Hilton_ ( sloped floor ) The owner had too give up this "homestead" when roads expanded.

Actually, in a lot of locales, the thing to do. I've seen lots of them on telephone poles along the Gulf Coast. They get thinned every year, but like perennial plants, new ones bloom from the stubs left after a hurricane.

As a deer camp, a quick and easy summer retreat, or as your main castle, there are upsides to them. And an instant view of your neighbor's double wide.

In going in and out of lots and lots of marshes along southern Louisiana on our way out to the rigs, we passed lots of very creative "camps" where shrimpers and fishermen would tie up rather than make it to port every day. Reading about the marshmen of previous generations was inspiring because those was tough people! The mosquitos were enough to drive a normal person crazy. Then throw in a few alligators and the rest and .............
