Comfort and Joy - Galene's Paradise

St. Pete Beach, FL · Historical Buildings

This home dates back to 1911 and was built by Judge Swerdtfeger - but he died in November of the same year and never got to enjoy it. Perhaps that's why some feel he still haunts the premises. Some have seen him on the porch, others through the second-story windows. A little girl apparition has also been sighted here. The house has changed hands multiple times. It was a food store called "Comfort and Joy" for a time in the 2000s, but is now home to an art gallery called Galene's Paradise.
