Bienestar (Palm Beach, FL)

Designed in 1924 for Frederick S. Wheeler, the Chairman of the American Can Company, Bienestar, which means “Wellbeing,” was one of Wyeth’s early Mediterranean Revival style designs. In the 1980s Bienestar was saved from demolition when developer and preservationist Robert Eigelberger acquired the property and converted the estate into condominiums. Bienestar and the Warden House (a Mizner estate Eigelberger adapted into condominiums) won the first Ballinger Award from the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach in 1988.
