Description
The Ponce de Leon Hotel was an exclusive hotel in St. Augustine, Florida, built by millionaire developer, railroad magnate and Standard Oil co-founder Henry M. Flagler and completed in 1887. The Hotel Ponce de Leon was designed in the Spanish Renaissance style and was the first edifice, in the United States, to be constructed entirely of poured concrete (cement, sand and coquina shells). The hotel also was wired for electricity at the onset, with the power being supplied by DC generators supplied by Flagler's friend Thomas Edison. The building and grounds of the hotel became a part of Flagler College in 1968. Info from Wikipedia.
This is the main entrance into the old hotel lobby. Zoom, on the arch over the door, to see the original name in the ornate design.
