Opened in 1928, the Don CeSar gained renown as the Gulf playground for America’s rich and famous. The architecture is a blend of Mediterranean and Moorish styles modeled after the great hotels in Palm Beach. A favorite getaway for stars of sports, movies, and politics including F. Scott Fitzgerald, Clarence Darrow, Al Capone, Lou Gehrig, and Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was converted into a military hospital in 1942. In 1944 it became a U.S. Air Force convalescent center and was converted into a Veterans Administration Office by 1945. In the 70s the grand hotel was restored and is now once again a tropical playground. The Don CeSar was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 and to the National Trust Historic Hotels of America in 1989.

The 36"x24" (includes 2" border) archival giclée is printed by a local atelier on acid-free watercolor paper and features rich, saturated colors, deep dark tones, and finely nuanced details. Each museum quality print is inspected and approved by Tim Boatright before being signed and sealed with his embossed artist’s “chop.”

Please note: each piece is printed to order and may take up to three weeks to ship. The print is ready for framing.
