Description |
Lagomar (1560 S. Ocean Blvd) was designed by Addison Mizner in 1924 for John Magee, a coal operator and broker from New York. It sat on six acres that stretched from the ocean to Lake Worth. In 1926, the Magee’s sold the house and its six acres of land to Mrs. Henry Robinson Rea. Mrs. Rea was a widow whose husband’s family had owned Robinson, Rea & Company, a foundry and machinist business outside of Pittsburgh. Mrs. Rea lived in the house until her death in 1951. In 1953, Alan M. Graf purchased the estate for $185,000 and subdivided the estate renaming it Lagomar Park. The house remains but was divided in two, with a separate servants' building made into another house. Source: Curl, Donald Walter, Mizner's Florida.
