This herculean hunk of edificial haute couture is notable not only for its almost over-embellished elegance but for a Mediterranean mystique that has inflected the taste and tone of Miami architecture for over a century. Sitting on what was once a thick span of mangroves and dense tropical forestry, the winter residence occupied by Deering from 1916-1925 is now host to a fittingly diverse number of artistic and cultural programs, ranging from installations, special events, family-friendly experiences and educational adventures. This is one mainstay landmark not even Irma could faze; Vizcaya.org.
