The school originally started out as a luxury hotel, the Hotel Ponce de León, which was built by entrepreneur Henry Flagler and opened in 1888, according to Flagler College’s website on the school’s history.
The hotel became Flagler College in 1968 and the Spanish Renaissance architecture-style building, which is a National Historic Landmark, is now the centerpiece of the school.
