The Former Ponce de Leon Hotel's by aufgehts

St. Augustine - United States, Florida Built in 1888 by Henry Flagler (co-founder of Standard Oil) because there were no sufficient hotels in St. Augustine at the time. Guests were expected to stay 3 months (all winter). The windows in the dining hall were made by L.C. Tiffany and the electricity (new concept) by Thomas Edison. It is now Flagler College, a private 4 year liberal arts school.

jacko1 - Feb, 25 2009 11:02pm Wow! I just love the detailed comment, the architecture seems to have a Spanish influence. aufgehts - Feb, 25 2009 11:02pm Yes, all of St. Augustine has that Spanish influence but funny, it doesn't feel like California. It has it's own identity.
