Palm Beach, Florida − Bill traces the elegant resort town’s history, from the early 1900s when American tycoon and Florida East Coast Railway founder Henry Flagler extended his railroad to the area, putting Palm Beach on the map. Bill also explores the city’s lifestyle, highlighting the way its natural beauty influences Palm Beach design, from Whitehall – Flagler’s Estate – and other mansions to the Brazilian Court Hotel and the grounds of the American Orchid Society.
