In the same year, he began construction of his toll bridge across the Indian River.
His original "Indialantic, Florida Land Sales" office, which was destroyed by fire in 1919, was built on Front Street in Melbourne.
The first one was in Melbourne Village, the second in Merritt Island and the last one 5 miles west of Grant.
Powell and Ernest Every created the Melbourne Golf Course and Country Club in 1920.
Ernest's wife dedicated the second bridge across the Indian River between Melbourne and Indialantic.
