I’ve written about them on my other blog, if you want to find out more.

Here are some photos with short descriptions.

Cielito Lindo

Cielito Lindo

Cielito Lindo was built by dime-store heiress Jessie Woolworth Donahue in 1927. It was palatial, ocean to lake, with 45,000 square feet, a 30-by-50-foot living room, a 4-story tower, six master bedrooms, 10 staff rooms, houses for the chauffeur and gardener and a tap room.

Holgalcito Bell Tower

Hogarcito Bell Tower

Hogarcito was built by Marjorie Meriweather Post. She decided it was too small and built Mar a Lago. This photo as taken from its bell tower.

On Middle Road, the home below, Casa Juanita, is a 1925-landmarked estate built by Sterling Postely, and named after his wife, Jeanne.
