b. The Flagler Worker's House, also known as Palm Cottage, is the last
known building in Miami directly associated with railroad magnate and
developer Henry M. Flagler. It is also one of the city's few surviving
examples of Folk Victorian architecture. Built around 1897, this house
was one of at least 30 rental houses that Flagler constructed as homes
for the workers building his Royal Palm Hotel. The building was moved
to Fort Dallas Park in 1980, and listed in the National Register of
Historic Places in 1989.
