In 2003, Flagler College celebrated the 35th anniversary of its founding. The school is located on 19 acres, the centerpiece of which is the grand Ponce de Leon Hall, a former luxury resort hotel now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
This masterpiece of Spanish Renaissance architecture was the dream of Henry Morrison Flagler, industrialist, oil magnate and railroad pioneer. Since its founding in 1968, the College has spent more than $43 million dollars restoring the historic campus and adding new buildings. |
Working with Flagler College, Mica has been successful in assisting the college secure Federal and State funds and grants such as the America's Treasures grant for the preservation of one of the most significant structures in the nation. The Save America's Treasures grant of $400,000 is the first grant the college has received from a federally-funded source. Save America's Treasures is a partnership of the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Park Service. The college's grant was for repair of its terra cotta tile roof on the former Hotel Ponce de Leon, now known as Ponce de Leon Hall.
Flagler College provides valuable cultural resources to the public in the Northeast region of the State and carries on a great legacy of historical preservation. |
