EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the Shell Fence, a unique roadside attraction that once stood proudly in St. Petersburg, Florida. Built by Owen Albright, a native of Lancashire, England, around 1905, this intriguing structure was constructed using thousands of shells that he collected from the local beaches. The Romanesque-style arches, reminiscent of ancient ruins, were a curious sight for travelers passing through the area. Owen Albright's Shell Fence was more than just a roadside curiosity; it was a labor of love and a testament to the power of human ingenuity. The fence, which spanned over 200 feet, was a popular attraction for visitors and locals alike. However, its existence was short-lived. In 1921, a devastating hurricane swept through the area, leaving the Shell Fence in ruins. Despite its tragic end, the memory of the Shell Fence lives on. This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, offers a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the simple pleasures that once brought joy to travelers passing through St. Petersburg, Florida. The Shell Fence may be gone, but its legacy continues to inspire and intrigue those who hear its story.
