Description
You'll also find a color version of this shot in my Gallery "Florida Architecture." See which version you like best! The back entrance to Pinewood Estates is as beautiful as the front. Notice the iron balcony, the details in the stucco walls, and the beautiful patina that only comes with age. Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. had designed Edward Bok's Gardens and several private gardens inside Mountain Lake Estates, a neighboring private community. Charles Austin Buck engaged Olmsted's firm to design the landscape of his winter estate. In 1929, landscape architect William Lyman Phillips of the Olmsted Brothers firm began to design the gardens and the placement of the house. In 1930, architect Charles Wait was hired to design the house that has become one of the finest examples of Mediterranean-style architecture in the state of Florida. The Estate was the result of the collaborative inspiration of Buck, Wait and Phillips.
