It features such lush Florida greenery as hibiscus, bougainvillea, and jasmine. On a warm night, when you step outside, you can smell the odor of jasmine in the air.	The Philip Suite is named after A. Phillips who was the original owner of the structure. He bought it in 1926 from an ad in a Sears Roebuck Catalogue for $3,000. The parts for the building were sent from Chicago by rail and assembled by local tradesmen. By the 1930's the boom was over, he went broke and had to sell. In memory of A. Phillip, Mary Ann felt at least one suite should reflect his dreams & era. When she found a photo of him, she placed it in an antique frame in the bedroom. Around his image, she furnished the bedroom with a queen size bed and rattan pieces.
WILLIS SUITE: A NOSTALGIC VISIT TO GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE
The bedroom features the antique bed of Mary Ann's grandmother. However, it was adapted by Bryce to hold a modern queen size mattress. If you are thinking of buying an antique bed, ask him to show you his method for modifying an old bed. A large chifforobe, made by local craftsmen, provides storage for guests. Above the bed are two needle works with sayings in both English & German. These were made by the wife of Mary Ann's great, great grandfather who was a German immigrant and upon his arrival was drafted into the Union Army.	Remember when you visited your grandmother and you had a snack at her kitchen table. On a trip to Michigan, Mary Ann scoured antique stores for a mint condition 1950's table & chairs. She found one in a small Michigan town. Later she even found a cookie jar just like her mother owned. Then she put these items into the dining area of the Willis Suite. This suite, like the other three, has a kitchen, bedroom, living room, and private bath. It also has heat & a/c, cable tv, wireless hookup, and local phone service. Many families prefer this suite because its living room has a large pull out sofa for a child or an extra person.
