Henry Flagler built a Spanish Renaissance hotel of poured concrete and coquina, wired by Edison and lit before most American cities had electricity, with Tiffany windows throughout. To fill it he began buying railroads south, which is how Florida tourism and eventually Miami came to exist.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
