Henry Morrison Flagler Museum’s Whitehall
Arguably the father of Florida tourism, Henry Morrison Flagler first built his enormous wealth at Standard Oil, then retired to become a developer of hotels such as the Royal Poinciana and Palm Beach Inn (later renamed The Breakers) while completing the Florida East Coast Railway south to Key West. On the occasion of his marriage to Mary Lily Kenan, Flagler gifted Whitehall to his bride. At a staggering 100,000 square feet and more than 75 rooms when completed in 1902, the estate is a testament to the Gilded Age. Currently open to the public by scheduled visit, Whitehall welcomes home the original circa-1900 French Renaissance-style dining room furnished in time for the museum’s 60th anniversary. 1 Whitehall Way, Palm Beach
