#Henry Morrison Flagler Museum

[sassyredux]

I flew half way across the country for 12 hours (from touch down to take off) to visit the Flagler Museum in Palm Beach Florida, for the sole purpose of having the opportunity to witness an exhibit showcasing a collection of works from my most beloved artist, Alphonse Mucha.

I fell so incredibly ill the week of this trip, and I was terrified that I would not make it. I did, and it was beyond words. This trip was so much more than I’d bargained for. It is truly one of the most magnificent bits of magic I’ve manifested for my self in a long long time. I look back at this adventure often, and my heart is so grateful for what it’s given me. It was truly a lifelong dream that has been fulfilled.

Jeudi 29 décembre

Nous avons eu droit à une journée superbe dans les environs de West Palm Beach: ciel bleu avec quelques nuages décoratifs, température confortable, sans humidité. En matinée, deux randonnées dans Grassy Waters Preserve, un grand parc naturel au milieu des zones marécageuses. La première, Hog Hammock Trail, permettait de parcourir une forêt tropicale dense peuplée de nombreux palmiers et pins (photos 1 et 2); c’était désert, nous étions presque les seuls randonneurs. La seconde, Cypress Boardwalk Trail, traversait une forêt de cyprès chauves et se terminait sur une grande plaine marécageuse (photo 3). En après-midi, nous avons visité le Henry Morrison Flagler Museum, un manoir achevé en 1902 par Henry Flagler, richissime homme d’affaire ayant notamment développé le réseau de chemin de fer de la Floride et permis son développement touristique (photo 4). Il n’y a pas de jardins, mais les pièces y sont richement décorées selon les goûts du Gilded Age américain: à titre d’exemples, le Drawing Room (photo 5) et le Dining Room (photo 6). Par la suite, balade dans les rues de Palm Beach, bordées de luxueuses maisons; nous avons été étonnés par les nombreuses haies de ces maisons, finement taillées, d’une densité incroyable, et parfois ornées de fleurs. Nous avons marché sur Ocean Boulevard, qui longe la plage (photos 7 et 8). À certains endroits, les riches demeures disposent d’une « cour avant »: la maison est située du côté de la rue opposé à la mer, et la cour se trouve de l’autre côté du boulevard, en bordure de la plage (photo 9). Enfin, nous sommes passés devant le très chic Breakers Hotel (photo 10), où nous n’avons pas passé la nuit ! ;)

Flagler Mansion

The Flagler mansion, also known as Whitehall, was built by one of the founders of Standard Oil named Henry Flagler for his third wife.

Construction began in July of 1900 and was completed on 6th February 1902. The home was presented to his wife, Mary Lily as a wedding present, though the couple were so insanely rich it was only used as a winter residence, with the couple travelling there from their other homes in one of several private rail cars.

Henry Flagler died at the age of 83 from injuries sustained from falling down a marble staircase in 1913, with his wife passing away 4 years later. The property was passed to their niece, Louise Clisby Wise Lewis who immediately sold the property to investors. These investors added a 300 room, 10 Storey addition to the west side of the building, as well as removing some of the original rooms such as Mr Flaglers offices and the housekeepers apartment, as well as major changes to the kitchen and pantry.

The site was due to be demolished in 1959 but was saved by one of Henrys granddaughters who started the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum non profit corporation. They purchased the building and it opened as a museum the next year. In 1963 the 10 Storey addition was demolished as part of the preparations of opening it to the public.

Today it is registered as a National Historic Landmark and remains open to the public, offering tours and hosting functions such as weddings and exhibits.

The number of ghosts that haunt the mansion is thought to be few, but they certainly like to make their presence known to unsuspecting visitors. As you may have guessed the main ghostly occupant of the house is that of Henry Flagler himself, who died from injuries received from falling down one of the marble stair cases in the home, though his actual place of death was the local hospital.

There are many stories about how he likes to make himself known, with the common reports of his presence coming from the area which used to be his offices. He was known to spend huge amounts of time in his office and it seems even after his death he’s not prepared to let it go.

Tales of his apparition being seen in the room along with stories of the lights dimming on their own, as if they were not receiving enough electricity.

Foot steps from corridors and rooms known to be empty are amongst the other reports of this place, and orbs can often be captured throughout, especially in the dining room and kitchen.

“The Alcazar Hotel in St. Augustine, Florida was built in 1888 and was often called “the castle of happy returns.” Built by Henry Morrison Flagler, founder of Standard Oil, the hotel hosted more than 25,000 guests during its early winter seasons. Flagler commissioned the hotel for wealthy tourists traveling to the South for the winter on his railroad. The hotel included many recreational activities including a casino, three-story grand ballroom, steam room, massage parlor, gymnasium, bowling alley, tennis courts, bicycle academy, sulfur baths, and the world’s largest indoor swimming pool at the time. After years as an elegant resort, the Alcazar closed in 1932 and was purchased in 1947 by Chicago publisher Otto C. Lightner to house his extensive Victorian era collection. He later turned it over to the city of St. Augustine.Designed in the Spanish Renaissance Revival style, the building is now the Lightner Museum and houses antiquities mostly from the American Gilded age. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places..

The Cannabis-Free Guide to West Palm Beach

West Palm Beach occupies a unique space in the Sunshine State: The South Florida beach town feels slightly removed from, and a little sleepier than, it’s not-too-distant cousin Miami. But the drive (or train ride, on the recently opened, comfortable Brightline line) is worth it to get away and feel sublimely unhurried while taking in the historic decadence of the city. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to have a little cannabis on hand to take in the blue-hued vistas for those with medicinal cards, thanks to Florida’s booming medical-marijuana business and marijuana dispensary in west palm beach.

Here are five spots to take shelter and indulge in Floridian deliciousness in West Palm and neighboring Palm Beach.

The Breakers Palm Beach Even if you don’t actually stay at this historic and absurdly beautiful luxury hotel—and if you’re feeling flush with cash, you really can’t do better—you’d be woefully missing out if you don’t at least take a peek into its elaborate environs. Housed in an Italian Renaissance–style structure dating back to 1896, The Breakers has plenty that delights beyond its well-appointed rooms. The east-facing Seafood Bar’s large windows provide drop-dead views of the Atlantic Ocean, along with an elegant nautical atmosphere and fresh seafood. Adjoining the lobby, HMF offers a boisterous cocktail scene, and The Circle turns out breakfast within an architectural marvel of a room.

The Chesterfield Palm Beach When the ultra-high-end amenities of The Breakers feel out of reach, it’s hard to beat the value of The Chesterfield also in Palm Beach, where rooms run around $390a night. The hotel is in a smart-looking, white-hued landmark building with European-style rooms that don’t lack for idiosyncratic charm, plus a tranquil pool area. Plus, the hotel is ideally located on the Palm Beach island just next to West Palm.

Flagler Steakhouse Flagler Steakhouse is technically part of The Breakers Palm Beach, but the casual observer could easily miss it. Located in a separate, nearby building, the luxe restaurant elevates the familiar chophouse genre with old-school South Florida charm. Slip into a comfy rounded chair in the wooded space patriotically decorated in red, blue, and white, and dig into savvily executed classics like a wedge salad, well-crusted ribeye steak, and fries coated in parmesan. But don’t make the mistake of skipping standout seafood dishes while in this island gem, including locally sourced oysters and seared snapper.

Henry Morrison Flagler Museum West Palm Beach and Palm Beach are Flagler country. The developer was a key figure in the rapid growth of the South Florida region in the late 19th century and early 20th century. He lived in the opulent, 55-room Whitehall estate in Palm Beach, which easily outdoes lavish older manses in Northeastern and European cities. Whitehall now serves as the public Flagler Museum, which features guided tours, exhibitions, and, most importantly, a window into what it was like to retreat to the Sunshine State in winter as a tycoon in a bygone age.

Intracoastal Waterway Palm Beach should, ultimately, be enjoyed by spending as much time on the water as possible. The divider between the island and the rest of Florida is the Intracoastal Waterway, a 3,000-mile canal and wonder of engineering running along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Visit one of the marinas to charter your own boat, or join one of the many larger boating excursions in order to take in the area’s most breathtaking natural sights along with the always balmy weather.
