The Nease park site was the residence of Allen D. Nease. In 1951, Nease constructed his beach house. He hired architect Raliegh Pert, who he assisted with the design of his home with the Florida coastal landscape in mind. The unique interior of this home reflects the owner's professional forestry background, with heart pine wood floors, 12-inch bald cypress wall planking, native hardwood ceiling planking and solid bald cypress ceiling beams in the living room. Mr. Nease was a pioneer of Florida's reforestation and conservation efforts in the mid-20th century.
