"White Hall" 



The House of Henry M. Flagler, Esq., Palm Beach, Florida. 



IKE many great modern houses, the Flagler mansion at Palm Beach is compara- 

 tively simple in its external treatment. It is eminently stately and serene, the great 

 colonnade of the main front being the chief external adornment. The columns are 

 monumental in scale, and the five great arched openings behind them, and the large 

 windows above, are direct expressions of internal splendor of dimensions which the whole of 

 the exterior admirably denotes. 



Architecturally, it is two stories in height, the attic story being in the roofs, which are 

 long and low and sloping, and whose varying heights have been cleverly utilized in giving variety 

 to the silhouette. It is classic in feeHng and in detail, but bears unmistakably the character 

 of a great American countr)' house, admirably adapted to its environment in the beautiful 

 Florida landscape in which it has been placed.
