The Ponce de León Hotel was one of the hotels built in St. Augustine, Florida in the United States. It was built 1887-88 by architects John Carrere and Thomas Hastings[1] for Henry Flagler, a real estate and railroad tycoon. Of all the Flagler Hotels, it was only one of three which survived the Great Depression. It has since become part of Flagler College.[2]
The hotel was the first large scale building constructed entirely of poured concrete, and was sold to the college in 1967.[2] It was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1975, and became a U.S. National Historic Landmark on February 21, 2006.[5]
