Beach Getaways 2008 - (Page 16) cities & towns POMPANO BEACH tour includes styles that include art deco, moderne, mission, bungalow, frame vernacular, gothic revival and Mediterranean revival; on special weekends, residents open their houses for tours. On the tour, The Bailey-Saxon House, located on 4th Street, is a bright pink mission revivalstyle house. The Cap Campbell House, also on 4th Street, is notable for its Dade County rot- and termite-resistant pine. This house made the trip to its current spot in the 1920s, rolled on logs, from its original location near the railroad tracks. Moving houses is a bit of a theme here. A highlight of the walking tour is the SampleMcDougald House, built in 1916 in the Georgian revival style by an early pioneer, Albert Neal Sample. Sample is remembered in the community for Sample Road, a namesake artery that runs from U.S. 1 west to Coral Springs. Such was the local affection for the house, its owners and its virgin cypress construction that in 2001, a newly organized Sample-McDougald Preservation Society paraded it down Dixie Highway to its new location at 450 NE 10th Street, where it is open for tours.
