About
**From Amazon.com:** Since the late 1890s visitors to Palm Beach have wanted to stay "down by the breakers" - where the waves wash against the palm-lined shore and the Atlantic provides refreshing breezes. A century after it first opened in 1896 as the Palm Beach Inn. The Breakers still beckons guests with its incomparable oceanfront setting and exceptional architecture. But The Breakers is more than just a hotel. The story of its first hundred years is the history of Florida's development as one of the world's premier tourist destinations. Palm Beach was an isolated community before Henry Flagler arrived in 1893, fresh from successes in St. Augustine. There he built two exotic hotels to entice visitors and brought a railroad to them. Beautiful photographs throughout the book illustrate the story of The Breakers.
