Saint Augustine Florida, Flagler College Photos

For part 2 of my Saint Augustine photography series we have Flagler College. Constructed in 1888 as a luxury hotel by Henry Flagler the buildings became Flagler college in 1968. Flagler college is a private liberal arts college. The hotel which was called the Ponce De Leon was the first of its kind to be constructed of poured concrete. Local coquina shells were added to the concrete as aggregate giving the concrete a unique texture and color.  The hotel also featured generator driven DC electric lighting with the system being designed by Flagler’s friend Thomas Edison.  Here are some images of Flagler College for you to enjoy.
