Overview

Addison Mizner was one of the 20th Century’s most influential American architects, a member of the remarkable group of visionaries who transformed Palm Beach. His buildings demonstrate a masterful ability at blending a building with its environment, making optimal use of the natural beauty that surrounded his building sites. This book contains over 180 photographs of Mizner's designs by Frank E. Geisler, capturing the fantasy and beauty of the buildings Mizner designed as they were originally conceived. Some of the buildings have been heavily altered or destroyed since the photos were taken--but the interiors and exteriors of more than 30 residences, from Mizner's own to Harold Vanderbilt's, can be seen here in their original splendor. Other Mizner landmarks, including the Everglades Club, the shops along Worth Avenue, and The Cloister at Boca Raton are covered in equal depth.
