I went to Florida Central Academy for 4 years. We called that house the Gingerbread House. This guy is making WAY too big of a deal about the Al Capone tie-in. It was a rumor that he may or may not have been there., he didn't own it. When I went there FCA had one golf. Walking through the weeds kicking rocks was a disservice to a place that meant a lot for many students (some who put in a lot of time in having the Mt. Plymouth Hotel/Florida Central Academy) to have this recognized in the state historical records. If you are a history buff, research Florida Central Academy, Mt. Plymouth Hotel. This is not even a passable description or tour.
