Everglades Club, Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, FL
Summary
Significance: The design of the Everglades Club, by architect Addison Mizner in 1919, marked the beginning of an enduring trend in architecture of South Florida for Mizner's so-called Spanish style. The adaptation of this style was a logical inspiration that responded to the climate in the disposition of floor plans, the color of exterior walls, and the height, shape, and color of rooflines meant to reflect and not compete with the palm trees against the Florida skyline.
