Description

A wonderful example of turn-of-the-century architecture, this private college was once the Ponce de Leon Hotel, built by railroad tycoon and oil magnate Henry Flagler in the late 1800s. A textured red tiled roof, graceful arches and cool pink stucco walls are features of the museum, which also offers handsome landscaping accented by palm trees and views across Matanzas Bay. Guided tours are available through this breathtaking example of Spanish Renaissance architecture and design.
