Description
Today's Flagler College was once the grandest hotel on Florida's eastern coast. Henry Flagler left active duty at Standard Oil and headed to St. Augustine in the hope that his wife's health would improve. St. Augustine, barely surviving a plague of yellow fever, was brought back to life with Flagler's attention. Using his vast knowledge, wealth and power, Flagler built the Hotel Ponce de Leon and was able to turn the fortunes of St. Augustine around.
