I am something of a nut about Vizcaya, having spent considerable time in my youth at a treehouse in Vizcaya property, off in the mangroves. We called it "the Kingdom nobody else wanted." As an adult, I've found that both James Deering and his creation grow only more interesting, the more one learns about them.

I learned a great deal from you article, so I just wanted you to know that you have created a living gift that keeps on giving.

Sincerely,

Paul

Vizcaya Palace will be on my list of places to visit next time I am in Miami! It is also interesting to learn more about the Deering Family and their legacy. As a plant science student at Northwestern, I was prodded into reading up about the family following the restoration of the gorgeous Charles Deering Library building.
