SynopsisThe rollicking tale of the artist, adventurer, and visionary whose innovative architecture transformed Palm Beach and whose dramatic rise and fall mirrors the larger-than-life excesses of the 1920s. Addison Mizner's Mediterranean-style mansions-with their stucco walls, tiled roofs, and Moorish accents-are much-admired Florida icons. InBoca Rococo, renowned author and biographer Caroline Seebohm introduces the flamboyant genius behind these pastel palaces. Mizner was a leading San Francisco society figure in the 1890s, joined the Alaska Gold Rush, traveled to China, and made his way to an exploding turn-of-the-century New York. No formal training but huge natural talent established him as architect of the rich and famous. The getaways he designed made Palm Beach America's most elegant resort-and fed his dream of developing a "Venice-on-the-Ocean" in nearby Boca Raton. Mizner's plans ended with the collapse of Florida's real estate boom. He died in 1933, broken and bankrupt. Drawing on a huge cache of untapped materials-including measured plans and an unpublished autobiography-Seebohm restores Mizner to the pantheon of great architects and flamboyant Americans.
