Flagler College from The Lightner

Today's photo is of Flagler College, St. Augustine, Florida and was taken by the fountain in front of the Lightner Museum. I haven't been further than just inside the entrance to the college, but the exterior architecture is amazing as was the little I saw of the interior. Below is a snippet of information on the college from Wikipedia along with some links if you're interested in learning more.

..."The school is located on 19 acres, the centerpiece of which is the Ponce de Leon Hall, built in 1888 as a luxury hotel. The architects were John Carrere and Thomas Hastings, working for Henry Morrison Flagler, the industrialist, oil magnate and railroad pioneer. It is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places."
