--A Story to Share--
The Shark House stands as a testament to creativity, freedom, and the voice against conformity. Erected by my late father, Bill Heine, and sculptor John Buckley, it sparked a national debate on public art and personal expression. Today, it invites you to ponder its deeper meanings or simply enjoy its whimsical defiance.
