One Florida dining room serves venison and quail between shelves of books and old taxidermy. Another smokes mullet over red oak wood, the way it has for more than 70 years.

This Private Florida College Was Once A Gilded Age Hotel, And The Campus Still Steals The Show

Students eat their meals under Louis Comfort Tiffany stained glass windows. That’s an ordinary weekday lunch at this school, and I still can’t quite believe it. The main building opened in 1888 as one of the fanciest hotels in America. Oil tycoon Henry Flagler built it, and it ranked among the first major buildings made of poured concrete. It also had electric lights from day one, powered by four Edison direct-current dynamos in the hotel’s own electrical plant.
