Flagler College Ponce Hall restoration preserves 1888 hotel history, modernizes dorms

Flagler College has completed a major restoration of its historic Ponce Hall, originally built as the Ponce de Leon Hotel in 1888. Laura Stevenson Dumas, chief of staff, guided a tour of the newly restored spaces, highlighting the building’s significance and the care taken in the renovation. The building houses the largest collection of Tiffany windows in their original location. Students have the rare opportunity to study these windows up close, an experience not often available in museums.
