The faux Victorian house is in the newer part of the Village. It is painted lilac, a color that might make eyeballs pop in other parts of the country, but in Florida it fits right in. The other building is a historical one, overlooking the inner bay. Many of the homes were built raised about ten feet off the ground to protect them from the inevitable flood waters during storms. I suspect that this part of the bay is less vulnerable since it is protected by a barrier island. That island, Santa Rosa, has been rebuilt with new beach homes since the last major hurricane nearly wiped it off the map. People are certainly stubborn -- or incredibly stupid.
