The stone administration building, which has been erected near the entrance to the caverns, was built by hand from the solid rock foundation to the hand-riven cypress shake roof. The walls are built of beautifully weathered native limestone and the shelter roof is supported by hand-hewn timbers prepared on the ground. Parties, who tour the caverns, join guides here and return after the tour.
FLORIDA CAVERNS
Here we behold most wondrous sights
No mortal understands,
Of stalactites and stalagmites,
A house not made with hands.
Here Nature set to work her hands
In ages long since gone,
