STILL IN A FESTIVE MOOD?
Start the New Year with some “Prohibition Pleasures” in support of Historic Preservation in Coral Gables

Join the Historic Preservation Association of Coral Gables for a unique destination and historical tour titled “Palm Island and the Capone next door: 100 Years since Prohibition”. The venue is the 1920s Budweiser Estate built for Clarence M. Busch (of Anheuser-Busch) by architect W.F. Brown. The estate helped establish Miami Beach as an American leisure destination. The Capone estate, coincidentally also built for a Busch, is next door.

“When I sell liquor, it’s called bootlegging; when my patrons serve it on Lake Shore Drive, it’s called hospitality.” Al Capone

Capone House. That pool is impressive in its own right: at 30-by-60-feet, it was “originally built to best the Biltmore Hotel’s record for largest pool in the area.”
