Description:
|
COCONUT GROVE. Constructed in 1916 for industrialist James Deering, this Italianate palace is often referred to as the Hearst Castle of the East. Intended to appear centuries-old at completion, it is absolutely rife with architectural detail and elaborate accents. In fact, more than a thousand artisans took five-plus years to complete the ornate flourishes. Deering was fascinated by 16th-century art and architecture, and most of his fine collection remains on display. The beautifully landscaped grounds aptly complement the building, whose name remembers the Basque term for a raised site. |

| | A great way to cool down. Close to several other attractions, but quiet and peaceful. A lovely way to spend an afternoon. I suggest bringing snacks or a picnic and enjoying the tranquility. |
