Coral Castle founder hid craft behind thirty years of toil
In Homestead Florida Edward Leedskalnin carved and arranged coral into furniture and a courtyard fortress in Rock Gate Park. He forged a 9 foot gate from a single slab and moved 1000 tons of coral by night to avoid observers. Despite his small frame and long secrecy his monument draws about 75,000 visitors annually.
