Built between 1885-1887, the winter resort opened in January 1888. The hotel was designed in the Spanish Renaissance Revival style as the first major project of the New York architecture firm Carrère & Hastings, which gained world renown for more than 600 projects, including the House and Senate Office Buildings flanking the US Capitol. Their final project was the New York Public Library.Keys, Leslee F. Hotel Ponce de Leon: The Rise, Fall, & Rebirth of Flagler's Gilded Age Palace, U Press of Florida, 2015. Read more on Wikipedia
