Description
A Point Loma landmark is now rubble. Seashells torn down from the front yard of a place locals called the “shell house”.
Manny Neves has lived behind the house with all the shells in the front yard off Rosecrans for years. He’s Portuguese like the fisherman who lived in the home and built a seashell garden, of sorts.
“Frank was the husband. He traveled. He was a fisherman. Wherever he went he would bring home shells,” Neves said.
Over the years we’re told Frank collected tens of thousands of shells and intricately set each one in concrete. The funky world of mollusks and clam shells has been featured in newspapers, magazines, and on sightseeing lists for years as one of the most unusual gardens in the country.
