Stiltsvilles popularity grew after an article appeared in Life Magazine in 1941.
Even Florida’s then Governor LeRoy Collins frequented the place.
At its peak in 1960, Stiltsville had twenty-seven buildings.
Subsequent hurricanes cleared out the remaining structures and by 1992, only seven houses were standing.
As the deadline approached, the owners sought for extension and launched a petition drive.
Today, a non-profit organization called the Stiltsville Trust looks after the remaining seven buildings.
