Cape Romano Pyramid House

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Outside the one local news source that sources the entire article, a google search indicates no other claim of notability or reliable sources needed to sustain an article on this "individual" house. Meinnaples (talk) 03:20, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. From what's in the article, it sounds architecturally interesting and for "doing whatever you want" like a Burning Man thing.  I am assuming it's legit, this is real house that existed for 10 years and was a cool place.  I expect that there are multiple mentions and multiple sources with substantial coverage on this.
 * I am not getting past paywalls but running a broader search in Scholar on ("Pyramid House" Florida architecture) is getting hits. Not sure if this url shows a result.  One review article about "Egyptology" in architecture.  One law journal about unusual residential architecture as individual expression.  "Cape Romano Pyramid House" is overly precisely focusing on one possible variation in the name.  Searching on combinations of "the Pyramid" and "Judy Innes" and "Caxambas" and "Monte Innes" would likely work, too.  The house was built in 1979 and there would be articles for 10 years, say, but not much on the internet because it was no longer a house when internet grew, so good sources will tend to be off-line.  -- do  ncr  am  06:02, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
 * There is Cape Romano Dome House on apparently better-known neighbor. This Facebook page includes aerial photos showing both of them, and a photo of "the Pyramid".  (Search within the page for "pyramid")  I found that by searching on "the Pyramid" and "Judy Innes".
 * There are pics also within this Youtube video "Building the Now Abandoned Dome Home of Cape Romano", e.g. at time 1:46. At time 0:14 there is a newspaper article saying "Like the pyramid house shown on page 1B, these dome houses are being constructed on Cape Romano...".  So newspaper coverage exists.
 * It will be related to Beach house, Tropical architecture (a needed article), Lanai (architecture), etc.  We have not had proper categories for Albert Spencer Wilcox Beach House and other beach houses... I will start Category:Beach houses now and begin to populate it.  There is Commons category  with more than 100 photos already.  (By the way, NRHP-listed tropical property Navy Building 38 has a pyramidal roof and shows up in some searches I was trying, but is unrelated.) -- do  ncr  am  06:53, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment, (warning some(?) humor will be following:)), this is quite interesting, an inappropriately designed, inappropriately placed house that gained some local interest back in the 1970s/80s, have been unable to find any useable sources (maybe there are some architecture/alternative living publications that discuss this?), suggest this and the other Cape Romano house articles ie. Cape Romano Stilt Houses, Cape Romano Dome House (the sources of which are also extremely weak) all be merged to Cape Romano which definitely needs some fleshing out.
