This two block area of Pinellas Point contains 13 starkly Modern 'Birdcage' homes. Built in the mid-1950s by architect Glen Johnsen as Visionaire Homes, all of the structures originally had the majority of living space on their second floors, feature a continuous 8" concrete slab between floors, and a porch(birdcage)oriented to the southwest. They were designed specifically for the climate of St Petersburg.
