McKee Botanical Gardens, continued

Waldo Sexton built this inn, called the Hall of Giants, and adorned it with large iron bells from Spain. It was built of heart-of-the-pine, stained glass, limestone, wrought iron, odd chunks of architectural and other beach salvage, and miss-matched, many-shaped colored tiles.

McKee and Sexton used to party in here while steaks grilled out on the big triple grill.
