A Gilded Age estate and the Mediterranean Revival avenue that followed the same development.
Palm Beach's history runs through Whitehall, Henry Flagler's 1902 Gilded Age estate at the Flagler Museum, which interprets the railroad and resort development that reshaped the Florida coast, and Worth Avenue, a Mediterranean Revival commercial avenue with a century of architectural and fashion history.
DISCOVER PALM BEACH
A railroad-built estate and the avenue that grew from the same development.
Whitehall, Henry Flagler's 1902 Gilded Age estate, is preserved today as the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum, which interprets the railroad and resort development Flagler drove — the same development that reshaped Palm Beach and Florida's Atlantic coast more broadly. The museum keeps limited weekly hours and is normally closed on Mondays. Worth Avenue extends that same development story into architecture and commerce: Palm Beach's signature avenue, running between Lake Worth Lagoon and the Atlantic, combines Mediterranean Revival courtyards and narrow vias with a century of fashion history. The record represents the street and its architectural vias as a whole, not any individual shop, and its business hours vary with limited parking during the winter season.
A Gilded Age Estate And The Avenue Its Development Built
Flagler Museum · Worth Avenue
Palm Beach's history is a railroad-built estate and the avenue that followed it — a development story, not a status symbol.
Henry Flagler's 1902 Whitehall estate, now the Flagler Museum, interprets the railroad and resort development that reshaped Palm Beach, and Worth Avenue's Mediterranean Revival architecture carries that same development forward into a century of commercial and fashion history.
Journey Possibility
Tour Whitehall, Henry Flagler's 1902 Gilded Age estate at the Flagler Museum, then walk Worth Avenue's Mediterranean Revival courtyards and narrow vias, a century-old expression of the same resort development Flagler's railroad set in motion.
