Very interesting!!! Great piece on local craftsmen and women!

How many bedrooms?

the concrete mixture is so soupy, I thought that makes it weaker. they probably want it to flow easily into the mold but I'm surprised how liquidy they make it. I wonder what psi it ends up as

No, cast stone was NOT "...first used extensively in London in the year 1900". You're misinformed. There are many examples of cast stone that predate 1900. For example, one form of cast stone was invented in the UK in 1770 by Mrs. Eleanor Coade, and was already hugely popular by the 1810s (it was extensively used in the 1820s restoration of Buckingham Palace, and those elements survive to this day). "Coade Stone" was first used in the US as early as about 1800 (see Rossborough Inn on the University of Maryland Campus, and John Tayloe's "Octagon House" in Washington DC). The company that developed the secret process for making Coade Stone went out of business in the early-1840s, and those secrets were lost.

My ancestors were the amoung the orginal settlers of Lake Worth and Palm Beach. Harlan Page Dye built boats, operated a hotel, and owned a general store. His hotel, the 63 room Lake Worth Hotel was the largest in the area until Flagler built the Royal Poinciana.

Great story and history of the colony in palm beach Florida. 👏♥️🙌

Kessler's book uses this in the Dance of the Millionaires in Palm Beach Country Club. There is a rich person season that updates Thurston Veblen's conspicuous consumption.

That's what I always appreciated about Bob Vila on TOH and Home Again shows. He would ask questions that viewers might ask and, whether scripted or on the fly, make clarifications when necessary. He caught that oversight that it was iron that was bent back in the day and not aluminum.

I spent much of my childhood in one of Fatio's S Ocean Blvd properties. Coquina stone, carved relief figures, intricate arches etc. It's reassuring to see a strong ethos of preservation still exists in Palm Beach. It feels like one of the last remnants of an old-world romantic vision.

Fascinating-thank you!

Dear god he looks horrible now.

❤

Nice

Bob is loved and awesome. His voice not as deep as on this old house

My husband and I enjoyed living in this very special gem for 10 years. In fact our PH condo was featured in a decor magazine at the time. Your episode was very interesting and brought back many fond memories. Thank you!

Hi, My Great Uncle owned Hogarcito for several years, my Mother spent time in the house as a young girl when she would go visit her Uncle in the summers (she is 75 now), she said that she did indeed remember the murals in the dining room, and her Uncle purchased the home from Mr. Hutton’s Brother so the murals would indeed have to have been original to the house!!! My Great Uncle and his 2nd wife purchased Hogarcito so they could “winter” in Palm Beach where they were fixtures on the social scene and played golf at The Everglades club. Their primary residence was on the “MainLine” in Devon, PA. That house was much larger than Hogarcito and I believe that home also has a historical designation, sadly it is no longer in the family as my Uncle has long since passed away and his heirs sold both properties many years ago as the upkeep was immense, as you certainly can understand! If you would be interested in looking at the other home I would love to email you the link where you can look at it! My Mother and me were so THRILLED to stumble across this video on YT about a former family home! P.S. I asked my Mother if she remembered the tiny spiral stairs going to the bell tower and if she ever rang the bells, she said that she did indeed remember those stairs because she had to haul my pack and play portable play pen up those stairs to go to the 3rd floor when I was there as a baby (I’m 53 now), she also rang the bells!

You should look into Mizner influence on Sea Island, GA. He designed some of the original cottages and the Cloister Hotel on Sea Island, Ga. Mizner's legacy lives on even on St Simons Island and Sea Island, GA.

My dream house!

John does have a great anvil.

Thank you for this one. I love the discussion about the process of the Architect, builder, and owner.

The owner of this home really impressed me . A true southern Lady ! Extremely well spoken with an effortlessly given delivery of the description of her beautiful home . The exterior of this home was flawless as was the fabulous interior decoration. It was nice to see and hear a true southern Belle speak about her love of her home and it’s restoration .

Thank you, ladies. Gene was a fraternity brother of mine and I appreciate this excellent videovery much.

Es Genial ver a bob en estos tipos de videos ...Bob le da ese toque serio y de calidad al trabajo de talleres y personas ...si Bob lo dice es asi ....saludos desde casas viejas Santiago de CHILE

Amanda/Katie - really well done!

Thank you for making these videos. My family has a Loooonnngggg history in Palm Beach and it's fascinating to learn the history of the town they spent so much time living in.

Reich is the best in the business Lots of projects anchored in our Haifa Limestone

I heard those guys are the best in florida

I still remember this field trip from fourth grade. It was my favorite, really sad that my daughter who is 12 now never got to experience it.

Hunt is such a dear marvelous Soul...... zKeep UP The Great Work

Absolutely gorgeous house. Love Palm Beach.

What a stunning home. As time goes on, I fall more in love with Mr. Mizner’s work. This channel is wonderful by the way. I hope the content continues to be created.

You MUST invite Harry and Mehgan to Palm Beach. What a gas, to be included with Yoko Ono and Zsa Zsa - glamour ne plus ultra. "Re-writing History"

I wish West Palm Beach would have the same feeling....at least in the charming downtown, which is slowly disappearing with new development.

Thank you for posting this. I have always loved the history of Palm Beach and worry that that history is being lost in the age of the mega-mansions that demolish them for a cookie cutter 21,000 Box. Please do more things like this.

The Breakers Hotel moto is "Once you stay, you'll understand". I will agree and add "Once you visit Palm Beach, you will understand".

Interesting and beautifully done!

Documenting conservations efforts is a critical component to the survival of a program. Well done!

BEAUTIFUL INSPIRING DELIGHTFUL THANKS

So interesting, even though I have not yet been to the hotel, I am in love with it! 😻

Definitely one of my favorite episodes so far. I love Palm Beach and it’s history.

Tragic redevelopment. Ghastly!

Thank you for this episode! I've always wondered about the history of the cut and pump house. Well done!

Very interesting.

Henry Gibson is my great grandfather. thank you for sharing! 🤍

Our next door #2 Lake Trail to the Flagler Museum was called Satinwood Cottage, built in the 1880s, had a small basement and was in our family 42 yrs.

I loved being a Docent here for 5 yrs. Also, had 1970, 71 and 72 Proms there as well.

Our Family home use to be #2 Lake Trail called Satinwood Cottage built in the 1880s and had a small basement and the Kapok Tree was our property for 42 yrs. My family came to Palm Beach in 1906.
