The Last House on Holland Island
It’s hard to imagine that this is the last house in Holland Island given that the area had 360 residents and was a highly populated island in Chesapeake Bay back in 1910. Aside from homes, the island also had a church, a school, shops, and several homes. Unfortunately, erosion started eating the island away, so in 1914, the locals tried using stones to create a wall to keep the island from eroding.
But the wall failed to do its job. So, most residents tore their home down and moved away. Then, a tropical storm damaged the church in 1918 and the church shut its doors by 1922. Finally, in 1995, a man spent 15 years trying to save the island, but in the end, this old home was all that remained.
