Sam Herron believed in the power of good design. The owner of Warm Mineral Springs, he hired Victor Lundy to design his curvy, wing-shaped house in Venice (Florida Buildings I Love, No. 50), as well as a motel for the new community between Venice and North Port.
The building has been a landmark ever since not the most majestic of Florida’s special buildings, but one of the most memorable.
