Flagler College and Lightner Museum

I took the tour of Flagler College today--built as the Ponce De Leon Hotel in the 1880's. One of the grandest buildings I've ever seen. Flagler was the guy who built the railroads in Florida, and essentially created the tourist business there. When it opened, rooms were let by the "season" only, which meant that you had to rent one for a minimum of 3 months. Their least expensive room was $6 per day, when the average wage was $1.50! Truly they were going for a wealthy clientelle. I'm going to try to attach photos, showing the Tiffany pieces in the place (largest collection of Tiffany glass in the world) and the interior design was by Louis Tiffany, himself.
