4 Tower of The Vinoy Renaissance Hotel in St. Petersburg, Florida

This exquisite bell tower is part of the The Vinoy Renaissance Hotel which was built in only ten months during 1925. It was designed by architect Henry L. Taylor. The style, which is called Mediterranean Revival, was popular among coastal resorts in California and Florida during the 1920s and 1930s. Its ornate features were meant to portray the grandeur of a European palace. This building was doomed to the wrecking ball in the early 1980s but fortunately it was extensively renovated. The hotel’s website justifiably boosts that it is, “Pink, proud and perfectly preserved.”
