House of Refuge at Gilbert’s Bar is the only remaining House of Refuge.
The name Gilbert’s Bar (which means Gilbert's reef or shoal) is attributed to Don Pedro Gilbert. Born in the 1800s somewhere on the South American continent, Gilbert was a talented seaman and privateer for Colombia.
Gilbert was fond of the inlet into the Indian River along Hutchinson Island, with its high sand dunes along the barrier island that offered some protection from being located by passing
ships at sea.
The story was that Gilbert frequently positioned himself on high ground, specifically at Mount Pisgah, which is 57 feet and located at the northern end of Sewall’s Point, today just south of
the former Frances Langford-Evinrude estate. Here they would lay in wait to prey on passing cargo ships.
