The inside of the Ponce de León Hall at Flager College is still as grand and glorious as it was when it opened as a luxury hotel in January of 1888. Muralist George Maynard painted this lobby rotunda which rises 86 feet. The images represent Adventure, Conquest, Civilization and Discovery. Louis Tiffany created 70 stained glass windows. And about forty works of art from Henry Morrison Flager’s collection still hangs on the walls. I wonder if the students at Flager College appreciate these masterpieces as they walk through the hall towards their dining hall?
