Introduction
Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida, is a private liberal arts college founded in 1968 whose campus is one of America's most magnificent historic buildings. The campus was originally the Ponce de Leon Hotel, a luxury resort built in 1888 by railroad tycoon Henry Flagler and designed by Carrère and Hastings in Spanish Renaissance Revival style with gold leaf, crystal chandeliers, and murals. The hotel was once among the most lavish resorts in the United States, and after its 1968 conversion to a college it retains its astonishing original grandeur. Courtyard gardens, a grand dining hall, and stained glass by Louis Comfort Tiffany make it an architectural treasure of St. Augustine.
