Flagler College

St. Augustine's Hotel Ponce de Leon was built in 1888 by Henry Flagler.  Along with John D. Rockefeller, his brother William Rockefeller and a few other partners, Flagler was one of the principals in Standard Oil.  He then became a major player in the development of northeast Florida, building railroads and hotels.  This hotel is now home to Flagler College, a liberal arts institution founded in 1968.
