RESTORATION The Umbrella House was purchased by noted Museum Planners and Designers Vincent and Julie Ciulla in 2005. The Ciullas have completed the restoration and renovation of the interior, replaced the HVAC, and installed a new roof. The Ciullas have now turned their attention to the exterior, and the Umbrella itself.
VISITORS The Ciullas are committed to maximizing the educational value of the Umbrella House, and intend to make the home available to appropriate groups. They have recently hosted their first group, architects and historians from around the country on a tour organized locally by Joe King, architect, historian and author of The Florida Houses and nationally by the Society of Architectural Historians.
