Casa Caprona, also known as the Markert Apartments, is a historic building in Fort Pierce, Florida, USA, built in 1926 in the Mediterranean Revival style by architects Arthur Beck and J.K. Shinn. The complex, located at 2605 St. Lucie Boulevard, served as a training facility for the Navy's underwater demolition group during WWII.
Designated as a landmark in 1984 and added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on June 2, 1984, Casa Caprona stands as a testament to the grandeur of the proposed winter community of San Lucie Plaza, despite the project's failure due to the collapse of the Florida land boom.
