  The kitchen interior was designed by Dolly Berthelot and custom built to provide additional work space while keeping water views and a style compatible with the original floor plan. Simple custom wood cabinets in the Shaker style use painted pine fronts that simulate the antique beveled heart pine on the porch and upstairs ceiling and in some kitchen area walls.

  During the recent church renovation an archaeology study revealed graves of the lost rectors. These three men were the first three rectors of the church. Until 1988, it was only a locally accepted legend that they were indeed buried under the church. Some tales even said that Union troops disentombed them in search for valuables. Dr. Judy Bense of the University of West Florida Archaeology Institute found evidence that the legned may have some validity. The white marble memorial plaque inlaid into the wooden floor is located in the center of the photograph.
