There was only one building standing on the whole of the . It was called the Jackson House because it had once housed family members of President Andrew Jackson. It was a magnificent old mansion with very large rooms filled with antique furniture. The structure could not be seen from the beach. Large oak trees surrounded the house hiding it from view. The edifice stood some 8 to above the ground. The first floor had a wraparound porch that was wide enough to be used for meetings.
