Historic Architecture | Flagler College

Flagler College’s Ponce de León Hall began in 1888 as Henry Flagler’s Hotel Ponce de León. A National Historic Landmark in the heart of St. Augustine, it was designed by Carrère & Hastings. Its richly detailed interiors feature Louis Comfort Tiffany stained glass and decorative paintings by George W. Maynard and Virgilio Tojetti, making the building one of the finest examples of Spanish Renaissance Revival architecture in America.
