Memorial Presbyterian Church → Flagler College — former Ponce de León Hotel

Explore the late-nineteenth-century resort boom around King Street; these buildings differ sharply from colonial houses

Memorial Presbyterian Church: Copper-domed church built by Henry Flagler in memory of his daughter

Flagler College — former Ponce de León Hotel: Former Ponce de León Hotel with towers, a courtyard and grand interiors

Crisp-Ellert Art Museum → Markland House

Use permitted areas at Flagler College; a student campus is not an unrestricted public hotel

Crisp-Ellert Art Museum: Contemporary-art museum on the Flagler College campus

Markland House: Historic mansion with a columned portico beside Flagler College

Villa Zorayda Museum → Casa Monica Hotel

Plan separate visits to Lightner and Villa Zorayda; courtyards, collections and grand rooms require extra time

Villa Zorayda Museum: 1883 house museum inspired by the architecture of the Alhambra

Casa Monica Hotel: Historic hotel with towers and arches on the corner of King Street
