Monday at NTBG - Allerton's home


Allerton's home, originally uploaded by Journal Keeper.

This home was the home of Allerton for the last 30 years of his life. He walked the gardens twice a day until he was 89 and then he used his golf cart. This home is now a part of the National Tropical Botanical Gardens and has been used by various people after tragedy struck -- including Jackie Kennedy and her children, and Richard Nixon. The home is tucked away under a cliff that is covered in pink bouganvilla (Queen Emma's favorite color) and next to a little river and a secluded beach. An incredibly beautiful setting.
