The Ponce de Leon Hotel, his grandest construction, and one of the first structures built of poured concrete, today serves as the main campus of Flagler College. The Alcazar Hotel, today the Lichtner Museum, was his second structure. They were joined by a rival hotel, The Casa Monica, purchased soon after construction by Flagler. The Casa Monica continues to operate today. Together, these hotels began the tourism industry for Florida, the economic engine that, in many ways, drives the state’s economic fortunes to this day.
