A bronze statue of American industrialist Henry M. Flagler (1830-1913) stands in front of his namesake Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida, USA. Founded in 1968 in the heart of that city, the liberal arts school boasts an architectural attraction, the historic Ponce De Leon Hotel, which was built by Flager in 1885 as one of the first luxurious resorts along Florida's Atlantic Coast. After becoming wealthy as a founder of Standard Oil, he became known for developing early tourism in the Sunshine State by building more grand hotels and the Florida East Coast Railway.
