David Putnam, stepson to Amelia Earhart once lived in the building and Amelia would fly into the airport just a few miles away for visits.Built in 1926, the Casa Caprona (also known as the Markent Apartments) is a historic building in Fort Pierce, Florida. Designed in the Mediterranean Revival style by architects Arthur Beck and J.K. Shinn, it was envisioned as the centerpiece for the proposed winter community of San Lucie Plaza, however due to the collapse of the Florida land boom, the project failed. On June 2, 1984, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The 16 unit complex was completely restored after the 2005 hurricanes. Renovation included new tile roof and new widows. Ground floor unit features 3 porches, refinished hard wood floors, newer appliances still under warranty, euro style kitchen with stainless steel counters, newer A/C, Wood burning fire place and the charm of the 1920's. Seller's have out grown their home and now available at an unbelievable value. Great area close to shopping, 3 miles to down town Fort Pierce and 4 miles to the beach. Don't miss this one!
