The go-to architect for the Jazz Age elite of South Florida and
beyond, Addison Mizner created a new architectural style and a new
lifestyle for the wealthy and socially prominent of Palm Beach
America s preeminent winter resort town of the time. Building
mansions, clubs, hotels and apartment houses with a bent toward
fantasy and romance, Mizner established a design vocabulary and
tradition that to this day influences architects, designers, and
builders. Evocative of old Spain, Venice, and the Moorish capitals
of Granada and Seville, Mizner s work is a dream realized:
courtyards with fountains, trellises with climbing bougainvillea,
arched windows, glazed tile floors, spiraling marble columns,
expansive interiors with grand proportions. This book explores
Mizner s legacy through the extraordinary houses and other
structures he built, including such storied homes as La Guerida, an
11-bedroom Spanish Revival mansion, best known now as the Kennedy
Estate the place where JFK he composed his Inaugural Address. Known
for their beauty, opulence, fantastic detail, as well as the
stories of those individuals who have lived or played in them, the
houses and buildings of Addison Mizner stand as monuments to grand
living and romance made in stone and iron, stucco and tile.
