The Preservation Foundation, which has spent more than a half million dollars saving the house from the wrecker's ball transplanting it from its original location near the Breakers Hotel to its new home by the Royal Poinciana Chapel is hosting an open house Sunday, Dec. 15.

"Everyone is invited to come and tour the house," said Preservation Foundation Director Polly Earl. "The restoration is just about finished and we're in the putting-up-curtain rods stage. It's a little hectic, but we should finish up the landscaping this week." The Seagull Cottage, built in 1886, is classified as the oldest house in Palm Beach. It belonged to the venerable Floridian Henry Morrison Flagler in the 1880s. Several years ago, it almost was destroyed along with some other cottages because the Breakers decided to build condominiums along the ocean.

Former ambassador to Cuba Earl E.T. Smith, Chairman of the Preservation Foundation, decided the house was too valuable to be just a memory and began working to guarantee the cottage could remain a Palm Beach landmark. "Thank God it's finished," said Smith, "because I've been working on it for two years. It's taken a lot of time and a lot of hard work." Moving the Seagull Cottage required special permission from the Town Council in 1984 and Palm Beachers witnessed the unusual sight of a house from the 1900s rolling across the Breakers golf course that May. 4f Daily News Photo by DONNA TURNER See SEAGULL, Page 4 Palm Beach history will be on display Sunday when the Seagull Cottage will open to the public.
