Vizcaya


Vizcaya house and gardens - built in 1916 by James Deering as a winter home to entertain guests, mixing European styles with an emerging Miami aesthetic and sensibility. 

"The house was intended to appear as an Italian estate that had stood for 400 years and had been occupied and renovated by several generations of a family.  It has 34 decorated rooms with 15th through 19th century antique furnishings and art objects."





Leda and that dastardly swan.
We know what you're up to Zeus. 



The beginning of hot grotto action.



I think the frog is supposed to be an emerging Miami aesthetic. 
There's a lizard underneath this guy too. 

 More non-Hipstamatic photos to come.
