FYI (you probably already know) - It derives it’s name from developer, George “Bob” Gill, who also built and owned the Yankee Clipper, Yankee Trader and Jolly Roger hotels on Fort Lauderdale Beach. He built middle income homes in Poincetta Heights in 40s and 50s, for the housing crisis created by returning servicemen. Upscale houses were built here and in Riverland. The bigger 3 and 4 bedroom homes are called Tri-levels. The ranch style homes, also with the signature vaulted ceilings, are 2 and 3 bedroom. I didn’t know that he and his son were responsible for digging all the canals in FLL.
