Description

This classic volume, now back in print in a new format and at a reduced price, offers a strikingly illustrated, extensively researched history of Palm  In 1894, Palm Beach leaped to world prominence as a winter playground with the completion of Henry Morrison Flagler’s Royal Poinciana Hotel. Within the 1920s, Palm Beach’s extravagant way of life reached its height, and grand Mediterranean-style mansions abounded. Palm Beach Houses main points the building and design of more than thirty great houses and public buildings at the “American Riviera.” Private and non-private structures designed by probably the most style-setting early architects are depicted, including works of Addison Mizner, Joseph Urban, and Maurice Fatio, in addition to the ones of anonymous designers, whose feats of imagination rivaled essentially the most celebrated professionals. The photography has been taken to respectfully document these excellent homes, many of which have never before been published.
