Description
Pictured here is El Mirasol (348 North Ocean Blvd) , the Palm Beach estate of investment banker Edward Stotesbury and his second wife Eva . Built in 1919 , El Mirasol was the first residential Palm Beach commission for architect Addison Mizner . The house was built on a 42-acre estate that ran from the ocean to Lake Worth and was just north of Wells Road . Edward Stotesbury died in 1938 ; his wife , Eva died in 1946 . The estate’s furnishings were auctioned off in 1947 . The house itself was not sold until the late 1950s and was demolished in 1959 . The land was then subdivided and eventually became the El Mirasol Estates . Only the entrance gate and a fountain remain from El Mirasol , both designed by architect Maurice Fatio .
