Haunted Guide To Flagler College

The Ponce de Leon hotel, built by Henry Flagler in 1888, was a true masterpiece that combined luxury and art in one of the most beautiful locations in Florida — St. Augustine. Flagler’s love for art was reflected in every detail, from the carefully selected pieces of art that adorned the halls to the stunning architectural design that included spacious rooms, a courtyard with a fountain and a spectacular dining room. When it opened to the public, the hotel was ahead of its time with electric lighting, fans and elevators — innovations that set the standard for the hotel industry. It was also one of the first buildings in America to have an electric fire alarm system.
