Could this be info on this house?

The most successful project implemented by the Government to protect and enhance the Texas Coastline is on the Bolivar Peninsula in the Rollover Pass area in Gilchrist.

Already new resort developments are being constructed, including Audubon Village.

The homes there are hurricane resistant and are built in a factory in Gilchrist.

Well if so, the only one coming out of the hurricane proof home factory that was not a “lemon”, just happened to maybe be the only sided in lemon yellow siding.

This is a house that was billed to be Hurricane-resistant in Gilchrist.

Didn't see it in any of the what's-left-standing photos.

From that site, discussion of the GeoTube.
Doesn’t look like this home was part of the
program, as it stands undamaged but alone.

The concept sounds very interesting
for vulnerable beachfront property.
