Maison Mondrian
Not the official or even the informal title of this building in Ruskin FL, but the moniker I bestowed on it. The building is the home of Mary and Martha House Inc., a non-profit refuge for homeless women and victims of domestic abuse.
The building was commissioned in the 1970s by Evan Mixon, editor and publisher of the Ruskin Observer News. He was an admirer of Buckminster Fuller’s geodesic dome concepts. A persistently leaking roof proved its bane, a problem which continued in Mary and Martha House days. The building incorporated a mural as part of Ruskin’s Draw 2008 project, which has just recently been superseded by this Mondrian paint scheme.
