Worth Avenue Mall

I was fortunate to be invited to spend some time at the Mar-A-Lago ("mahr-ah-lahgo") Club.

Built in 1924-1927 by Marjorie Merriweather Post and designed by Joseph Urban. When she died in 1973 she willed the 17-acre estate to the U.S. Government as a retreat for Presidents and visiting foreign dignitaries.

The Mar-A- Lago Club is currently a private club owned by Donald Trump. Trump paid $ 10 million for the estate in 1985. After acquiring the property in 1985, Trump had the property extensively renovated, with 58 bedrooms, 33 bathrooms, 12 fireplaces ( because it gets so cold in Florida ), and three bomb shelters,, because....?. The estate also has five clay and one grass tennis court with a waterfront pool and a 20,000-square-foot ballroom. The name Mar-A-Lago is Spanish for "Sea to Lake".

On April 18, 2012, the AIA's Florida Chapter ranked Mar-A-Lago fifth on its list of Florida Architecture: 100 Years.
