Last summer, the new owner of the historic Capen House decided to demolish the house, as opposed to living in it “as is.” Betsy Owens, of the Friends of Casa Feliz, with help from the Polasek Museum and the Winter Park Historical Association, received enough support to move the house via barge to its new home at the Albin Polasek Museum.
