Description
This is one of the gateways into Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida. The college was formerly the Hotel Ponce de Leon, listed as a National Historic Landmark. Built by millionaire developer Henry M. Flagler in 1887, the Ponce is considered one of the finest examples of Spanish Renaissance architecture and was one of the most exclusive resorts of its day. To this day the former hotel boasts 79 of Louis Comfort Tiffany’s stained glass windows, Tiffany Austrian crystal chandeliers and a massive onyx Thomas Edison clock - one of the first ever to be used in a public building. Needless to say, it's worth seeing when in the area.
