Biographical / Historical
The Everglades Club, a private social club designed by Addison Mizner, was originally conceived as a hospital to meet wartime building restrictions in 1918. It was funded by Paris Singer of Singer Sewing Machine Company fame and is often credited with establishing and popularizing the Mediterranean Revival style of architecture in Palm Beach. The club opened in February 1919 and was immediately embraced by Palm Beach society, launching Mizner's career as an architect. In 1980, the Everglades Club was designated as a landmark by the town of Palm Beach.
