Description: "Villa Mizner: The House that Changed Palm Beach begins with Addison Mizner's eight-year tenure in the home of his dreams. It contains well researched, fictionalized conversations with his famous clients of the 1920's and discusses the grand palaces he designed for them, several of which were subsequently destroyed. The reader will also discover details about Mizner's ill timed, failed attempt to create the model city of Boca Raton. Villa Mizner brings his town palace to life through its various owners' anecdotes including stories about Mizner's pet monkey, Johnny Brown and his ghost!"--
