Estate sale find, antique sterling silver souvenir spoon depicting Palm Beach and the Royal Poinciana Hotel, marked Greenleaf & Crosby, displays nicely.
The six-story, Georgian-style hotel was built as a winter retreat for the elite by Henry Flagler, an oil, real estate and railroad tycoon. When he began buying tracts of land "at any price," Palm Beach was a desolate barrier island on Florida's Atlantic coast.
That began changing, however, when Flagler extended his Florida East Coast Railway to West Palm Beach.
The Gilded Age Royal Poinciana was enlarged twice, doubling in size each time, as a result it became the world's largest wooden structure. It closed and was razed during the Great Depression.
