Cape Romano Dome House, Marco Island, FL
Cape Romano Dome House in Marco Island is an iconic and mysterious building located on Caxambas Pass near Marco Island, Florida. The structure consists of six dome-shaped concrete structures that were built sometime between 1981 and 1983, and the site has been popularly referred to as "the Dome House" ever since. The exact purpose of the building is unknown, but theorized to have been a vacation home for the original owners or possibly a retirement home.
The Cape Romano Dome House is situated at an elevation of five feet above sea level, making it vulnerable to flooding during high tide and hurricanes. Unfortunaltey, this location caused significant damage to the structure when Hurricane Charlie hit in 2004. Since then, the structure has been steadily sinking into the sand due to its weight and lack of reinforced foundation. As such, it's now more than halfway submerged in shallow water and the remaining domes are unstable and easily eroded by waves and wind.
Due to its deteriorating condition, many people believe that Cape Romano Dome House is beyond saving. However, some people continue to advocate for preserving this unique piece of history as it provides insight into how people used to live along this stretch of beachfront coastline prior to development taking over most parts of South Florida.
Despite its decaying state, the Cape Romano Dome House remains a local favorite among tourists who take photos from afar or brave enough to approach by boat in order to get up close and personal with one of South Florida's most unusual buildings. Visitors can also explore further out into Caxambas Pass where they might find remnants from the structure’s original inhabitants such as shell middens or even ancient Native American artifacts from hundreds or thousands of years ago.
Given its exposed location amidst crashing waves combined with rising sea levels due global warming, there's no telling how much longer this peculiar landmark will remain standing as a testament to Marco Island’s past before Mother Nature reclaims it back into her domain once again.
