Palace Of Florence Apartments

Masked behind the aging oak trees covered in moss, and past the emerald waters of the panhandle, stands a white mansion that reveals the history of the local of Point Washington area. A large, white, almost plantation-style home is the focal point of Eden Gardens State Park, and a symbol of the legacy of the family. Large centuries-old oak trees embellish the land surrounding the house, making it a pivotal icon of the nature left untouched. The house itself contains hundreds of years of memories, and the land that occupies the area encompasses an even larger spectrum of Florida history. Once the site of a family lumber mill business in the late 1880’s, today it stands unnoticed as a legacy in the South Walton area of Florida.

Castles, palaces, and cathedrals are scattered across Europe. Each one possesses unique characteristics and architecture bearing resemblance of their time. Some castles incorporate Greek influence, roman or gothic influence in design. Other castles and palaces are surrounded by sculptures outside in the courtyard or include sculptures worshiped as an altarpiece. While any one of these things would serve to make an ordinary castle more elaborate there is one palace that possesses all of these: The Palace of Versailles in France. The Palace of Versailles has managed to incorporate classic architecture, exquisite sculptures, and amalgamated the old design with the newer design trends of the day.

John Young and Isaac Davis built the first ‘Western style’ building, Kailua-Kona, in Hawaii in 1795. Afterwards, three more brick palaces were constructed in Lahaina. These designs were very much like the Lahaina prison shown in previous pages. Even though Western brick houses slowly became predominant, “traditional grass hale were still prevalent, though adobe and coral block houses were also being built near Honolulu harbor” (“Hawaii History”).

If you were forced to pick your paradise, where do you think your thoughts would take you? Would you go to the quaint wooden cabin in Michigan that has been in the family for years? Or would you think of your cozy apartment a top a skyscraper in your favorite concrete jungle? Without a second thought, my mind rushes to Pawley’s Island, South Carolina. As locals describe it best, the “elegantly shabby” beachside town 40 minutes from Charleston has been my chosen vacation spot since childhood. Between the hammock shops, crabbing in the creeks and ghost stories, there is always something to entertain you on the island. With only the best memories there, never did I think that there would be something to hold me back from indulging in the lazy

Then we view the sculptures of the Boar and Hunting Dogs which were originally in the garden of a home in a city in the Bay of Naples. We also view the large fresco of the Garden Scene (see Fig. 2), which feels like a time warp back in time to Pompeii. The Garden Scene displays the beauty of nature with the various plants and birds present, and the two heads hanging on posts seem to be looking out to the viewer and protecting the garden. After the garden pieces we then are welcomed to the indoors of the Bay of Naples’ homes.

Instead of million dollar hotels and famous celebrity strips accumulating across the bay, West Florida has opted for a more recluse lifestyle, which has promoted the growth of tight knit communities. One of the least covered areas in West Florida is Panama Cities Cove, which exemplifies the small close community nature typified in West Florida. Jeannie Cooper author of The Cove Panama City Neighborhood introduced the areas to a wider audience when she published a comprehensive photo album, which detailed the 20th century history of the area. The book is a great contribution to the historical understanding of the area as not many works have been completed detailing the area in any form. Jeannie Cooper book is a great first read for any Florida citizen trying to learn a little more about one of Florida’s least known

“He still wished the Wooden Island had been left alone, and he decried the unplanned proliferation of concession buildings that “interpreted vistas and disturbed spaces intended to serve for the relief of the eye from the too nearly constant demands upon attention of the Exposition Buildings” (Larson

If a neighborhood this elegant is rarely used, it begs the question; why bother with its expensive upkeep instead of putting up modern developments? How does the preservation of St. James' homes benefit other

As I went to William Floyd Estate, I was aware of how to appreciate the historical person’s house. Not only the houses, I could appreciate the landscape surrounding the houses and imagined how actually lived there. Not only William Floyd Estate and Sagamore Hill, but also other historical houses are not just physical buildings. They contains history of that time period and lifestyle how they lived. Therefore, as they have been being preserved well so far, we need to be responsible for good and let more people visit there. Moreover, we need to preserve it with minimal repair and

The Philadelphia Centennial of 1876 is the origin starting point for a rebirth of the colonial architectural heritage of America and the early English and Dutch houses of the Atlantic seaboard. The increasing popularity of colonial influences on contemporary architecture motivated a highly publicized tour of a group of architects in 1877 who observed and recorded Georgian and Federal houses of New England. The simplicity of colonial designs and honest use of materials with more economical plans than the recently popular picturesque homes also contributed to the growing popularity of the style. Even a century after “modern” architecture was introduced, Colonial Revival motifs continue to be popular in new construction. These homes got their

Washington DC is known for patriotic monuments and grand office buildings. The city’s architecture has become a cornerstone of the Capital’s identity and depicts the area’s unique and rich history. An overlooked part of Washington DC’s architecture is found in the city’s hotels. These buildings represent distinct architecture, tell aspects of the area’s most historic moments and have housed the prominent and elite who have come through the Capital within the past two centuries. The Omni Shoreham Hotel and the Willard InterContinental Hotel have many similarities, yet also many differences. All in all though, they both contribute to Washington DC’s identity. This paper will describe the hotels, analyze their architecture, explain their significance to American and DC history and culture and draw similarities and differences between the two buildings.

When I close my eyes and imagine, I can still clearly hear the gentle splash of the waves lapping the shoreline, and feel the slight ocean breeze whizz through my hair, sending it flying in every direction. During the frigid and dreary months of Missouri’s winter, there is one place in particular that my heart longs to be. Marco Island, Florida. When most people think of a luxurious vacation, they imagine crystal clear water, snowy white sands, and a miraculous five star hotel. Marco Island is no Bora Bora, but to me it’s the most enchanting small town that values simplicity and offers pure bliss to anyone coming to visit.

One hotel offering that could use a process map to help streamline the process is to make it more efficient. The first step is when the guest calls the front desk for the room service. The first question is whether the order is for right away or for a future order. If the order is for a certain time, the front desk places the order with the specific timeframe and charges it to the room. If the order is for right away, the front desk places the order and charges it to the room. The next step for both instances is that the kitchen will prepare the food and then inform the front desk the food is ready. Next room service will deliver the food and then the process is ended.
