Museum archival documents revealed that the United States Polo Association made a motion to commission the artist, Frank Voss, to paint the portrait of Milburn on Jacobs and have it “presented to Mr. Milburn as a mark of the Association’s appreciation of his having acted as Captain of the International Team which won the cup….in 1921” Franklin Brooke Voss (1880-1953) – Franklin Voss was the son of William Voss, a founder of the Rockaway Hunt Club, and he grew up riding to the hounds, once saying he could “scarcely remember a time when horses ranked second either in his mind or in his daily life.” His artistic gifts, too, were apparent when he was a young boy, and he was sent to the Art Students’ League in New York City. As his talent became recognized, he was commissioned by the leading families in racing, fox hunting and polo, painting the famous Thoroughbreds including Man o’War, Seabiscuit and Whirlaway. He traveled extensively, painting across the U.S.A. and in England, and set up his easel at racetracks, stables and the open field, preferring to work with the horses in their natural element. Highly prized in private collections, his work was also published in books and magazines.

“La Florentia” Nicknamed: “Birthday Cake Castle” Location: Lake Worth, Florida Photo Credits: Alice Lowe for www.ArtandDesignMatters.com Interesting tidbits: The home got its name due to its many “cake-like” features, such as pillars shaped as candles, concrete wall surfaces that “swirl” like icing and a birthday cake stained glass window above the main entrance. There are tiles above an exterior door that reads “Birthday Cake Castle”. Built by local banker Earl Reed for his wife, Florence, in 1925, and named it “La Florentia”. The home was designed by Addison Mizner draftsman G. Sherman Childs and was built in 1925 along the Lake Worth, Florida waterfront, where 5th Avenue South meets the Intracoastal, just south of Bryant Park. Childs also designed the Lake Worth City Hall, the original Lake Worth Casino, and several notable homes. He was Lake Worth’s most significant art deco architect. The home didn’t earn its nickname, Birthday Cake Castle, until 1954, when WWII correspondent, Upton Close, bought the house as a birthday gift for his wife, Margaret Fretter Nye. She wrote books on a typewriter in the octagonal turret. It was the first property included on the Lake Worth Register of Historic Places. In 2015, the Mediterranean style home served as the venue for the 39th American Red Cross Designers’ Show House—welcoming 20 designers to transform its interiors.
