Addison Mizner’s Florida buildings in photographs

Frank E. Geisler’s photographs document the Florida architecture of Addison Mizner, whose work helped shape Palm Beach. The volume brings together more than 180 images, including interiors and exteriors of over 30 residences, from Mizner’s own home to Harold Vanderbilt’s. It also covers landmarks such as the Everglades Club, Worth Avenue’s shops, and The Cloister at Boca Raton. Since some of the buildings have been altered or destroyed, the photographs preserve views of designs that are no longer fully visible in their original form. The book’s scope makes it a visual record of both private residences and prominent Florida landmarks associated with Mizner.

Book 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.
