Description
Summer's hot days, gorgeous blue sky at the Hotel Alcazar, commissioned by Henry M. Flagler is now home to the Lightner Museum. Henry Flagler wanted somewhere for his wealthy tourists who were traveling south on his Florida East Coast Railway for the winter to stay.
Later, Chicago publisher Otto C. Lightner purchased the building to house his extensive collection of Victorian Era pieces in 1947 and turned it over to the city of St. Augustine. The museum houses antiquities, mostly American Gilded Age art pieces.
