SALVAGER’S DESCENDANT
Frank, a retired hospital administrator, is a direct descendant
of Capt. William Helms, who was commissioned by
the Queen of Spain to salvage treasure and claim property
in land grants in the mid-1700s. Helms discovered the two
maidenheads about 10 feet apart and nearly 250 miles from
where the ships sank. Frank went to British Virgin Islands
when he discovered he had a permanent lease on a dilapidated
building. The twin sisters had been sitting in a building
for generations until Frank discovered them.
The third home he has designed himself, from the home’s
first designs on a napkin to the final touches, Todd was involved
with the design and construction process, which took
30 months to complete. “Frank was essentially there every
day when they were building,” says Linda. “We traveled
and collected (art). You pick up something everywhere you
go. It took a lot to furnish this house — two years to collect
everything.”
African animal decor is found throughout the home.
