Accredited by the American Association of Museums and listed on the national Register of Historic Places, this 35-acre historic estate on Fort Lauderdale Beach is an extraordinary blend of art, history and nature.

It's been perfectly preserved in its 1930's and 40's period of significance, full of delightful surprises.
