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. In the 1920s, Palm Beach’s extravagant lifestyle reached its height, and grand Mediterranean-style mansions abounded. Palm Beach Houses details the building and design of more than thirty great houses and public buildings on the “American Riviera.” Public and private structures designed by some of the style-setting early architects are depicted, including works of Addison Mizner, Joseph Urban, and Maurice Fatio, as well as those of anonymous designers, whose feats of imagination rivaled the most celebrated professionals. The photography has been taken to respectfully document these superb homes, many of which have never before been published.

The houses were stunning, but I had a really hard time going through this book without thinking about wealth inequality.

“Palm Beach Houses” was a beautiful book! You are given a rare inside tour of some of Palm Beach’s most exclusive and elegant residences. The book is divided by three of Palm Beach’s most notable architects, Addison Mizner, Maurice Fatio and Marion Sims Wyeth. Each architect gets its own section featuring their work in Palm Beach. The vast majority of the residences are so beautiful, I couldn’t make a list of my favorites! When you read and see the pictures, you’ll get my drift.
