Landmark designation was key to preserving the many historic 1920's - 30's era mansions in the neighborhood covered by sheet 24
This was Addison Mizner's and Maurice Fatio's working playground
Several of the properties have changed hands recently with prices up towards 40 million dollars for lakefront properties
Mizner designed estates include:
The Venetian style Casa del Ensueños, 800 S. County Road, was built in 1923 and some of the structures are placed right up to the seawall giving it a real Venetian style grand canal look
