Flagler College, formerly the Ponce de León Hotel

The Ponce de León Hotel was one of the magnificent hotels built in St. Augustine, Florida in the United States. It was built 1885-88 by architects John Carrere and Thomas Hastings for Henry Flagler, a real estate and railroad tycoon.

It has since become part of Flagler College. The hotel was the first large scale building constructed entirely of poured concrete, and was sold to the college in 1967. It is also a U.S. National Historic Landmark.
