VISCAYA MUSEUM and GARDENS
Vizcaya was originally an estate of 180 acres, designed to resemble a typical
Italian villa, self-sufficient, with a dairy, poultry house, mule stable,
greenhouse, and staff residences. The house and gardens are the creation of
three architects: F. Burrall Hoffman designed the buildings; Diego Suarez
planned the gardens; and Paul Chalfin was the general artistic supervisor for
every phase of the project. Together they created an estate that looked as if it
had been lived in by succeeding generations of the same family with each
generation adding their own period furnishings of the time. All of the
decorative elements including furniture, lighting fixtures, doors and fireplaces
were purchased by Deering on shopping expeditions throughout Europe. The house
took two years to build. The formal gardens were not completed until 1921 due to
the outbreak of World War I.
Nearly 200,000 people visit Vizcaya each year
including some of the world's leading dignitaries such as President Reagan, Pope
John Paul II, Queen Elizabeth of England and King Juan Carlos I and Queen Sofia
of Spain. In 1994, the historic Summit of the Americas was held at Vizcaya with
President Clinton and the 34 leaders of the Western Hemisphere. |
