Mar-a-Lago was originally built between 1924 and 1927 as a private residence for Marjorie Merriweather Post, the heiress to the Post cereal fortune.
In 1980, Mar-a-Lago was designated a National Historic Landmark due to its architectural significance and historical importance.
The estate covers approximately 20 acres of prime real estate in Palm Beach, Florida, offering stunning views of both the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway.
The estate was designed by architect Marion Sims Wyeth in a Mediterranean Revival style, incorporating Spanish, Venetian, and Portuguese influences.
Marjorie Merriweather Post originally intended for the estate to serve as a winter retreat for U.S. presidents, a vision realized when Donald Trump used it as such during his presidency.
The estate houses an extensive collection of European antiques and art pieces, reflecting Marjorie Merriweather Post's passion for collecting.
After Marjorie Merriweather Post's death, she willed the estate to the U.S. government to be used as a museum, but it was returned to her foundation due to high maintenance costs.
