Title

La Claridad (Palm Beach, FL)

Description

In 1924, Clarence Geist, who made his fortune in utilities, commissioned Wyeth to build opposite of Hogarcito. The Spanish Baroque Style home is named La Claridad, meaning “clarity” and is the most ornate house on Golfview Road. In 1948, the house was divided into two single family homes. Both sections of La Claridad were designated as landmarks in 1996 and 1997 respectively.
