• Via_Mizner abstract "The Via Mizner is a historic site in Palm Beach, Florida. It is located at 337-339 Worth Avenue. On April 1, 1993, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.A “via” is derived from the Latin word meaning “way” or “path” and is defined by the World English Dictionary as a “way, road, channel, course of uncertain origin.”Via Mizner meanders approximately eighty-five yards and connects Palm Beach’s premier shopping street, Worth Avenue, to Peruvian Avenue, one city block to the north.The Via was created by the eccentric, visionary architect, Addison Mizner in 1923 after he had completed the Everglades Club (1918), his first major project in Palm Beach, Florida. Via Mizner is located across Worth Avenue from the-still exclusive club.Caroline Seebohn, author of “Boca Rococo, How Addison Mizner Invented Florida’s Gold Coast” explains a Via as follows:\"Medieval Spanish castles had contained within their fortified walls what might be called ‘inner cities,’ where the soldiers and castle employees lived and worked. These walled urban areas were later transformed into commercial spaces.” Addison Mizner added: “They (the commercial spaces) usually faced on small winding streets and were entirely open to the people who traversed the narrow pathways.\" It was in this spirit that Mizner set out to create Via Mizner. The result is a European-type, pedestrian village with complex, charming and irregular buildings that house shops, offices and residences. Via Mizner (and adjacent Via Parigi) is an interesting combination of Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival architecture mixed with a touch of old Venice, adapted to South Florida’s tropical climate. The roofs are terracotta barrel tiles while the white stucco walls are punctuated with numerous, irregular shaped windows, wooden balconies, pecky-cypress accents and balustrades, many with decorative ironwork details. The staircases leading up to the residential units have risers made of colorful ceramic tiles while occasional palm trees reminds us of the tropical setting.In a pre-mall era, Via Mizner became a unique experience in America, where one could get fresh air while walking and shopping in stores and galleries that were welcoming in a non-commercial atmosphere.Via Mizner’s combination of architectural styles and decorative detail quickly became Palm Beach’s signature look. As the decades passed, countless architects, city planners and designers have copied Mizner’s unique design, which can be identified throughout Florida today.Via Mizner houses twenty well-known shops and businesses as well as a small number of residential apartments. The most famed address is 1, Via Mizner, the architect’s own majestic, five-story, tower-like residence called “Villa Mizner.” The architect designed the top floor as a single room, which he used as his office. Sixteen windows span the four sides of his office-floor and overlook the entire island of Palm Beach. Mizner’s pet monkey, Johnny Brown, is buried at the foot of the home’s 35-by-40 foot living room.Via Mizner remains today exactly as Addison Mizner envisioned it to be.".
