Legacy Tours of Flagler
College
(St. Augustine, FL)-
Legacy Tours highlight the architectural heritage of the former Hotel Ponce de
Leon, a nationally designated historic landmark building, built by Henry
Flagler in 1887. Millionaire industrialist/developer Henry Morrison Flagler
envisioned creating an American Riviera in St. Augustine and the Hotel Ponce de
Leon, now Flagler College, has recaptured the architectural spirit of old
Europe. The Hotel is as prestigious now as it was in 1888. This beautiful
Spanish Revival structure represents proof that preserving the past is
compatible with modern urban life. To kick off summer, historical tours of Flagler
College’s Ponce de Leon Hotel will start running on the hour starting Monday, April
30, 2012. The expanded tour schedule will last until Aug. 19, 2012. Tours
will start at the top of each hour from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. each day. Tours
run approximately one hour long. Tours will be canceled towards the end of
summer starting Saturday, August 25, through Tuesday, August 28. Tours depart from the main lobby (Rotunda) of
the college located at 74 King
Street. Tickets maybe purchased at this location
20 minutes prior to each tour or at Flagler’s Legacy located at 59 St. George Street
open daily between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Pricing is $7 for adults, $5 for St. Augustine residents with a valid ID, and
