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.
