Physical Description
General Note
Accompanying note: "The cloister follows the contour of the house in crescent shape on the concave side facing Lake Worth. The general design is similar to Old World monasteries. In the area of the patio are some of the finest carvings by Franz Barwig. The arches and columns of the lower cloister are carved in the Dorian stone."
Designed by architect Marion Sims Wyeth and built circa 1924. Later added to the National Register of Historic Places and to the National Historic Landmarks Program in 1980.
