Davis Residence (Palm Beach, FL)

Volk designed this Adam style (part of the Georgian Revival tradition) home for Mr. Charles Davis who was the president of the Borg-Warner Corporation, on South Lake Trail. He also designed extensive gardens with reflective pools and parterre planting. There was a large greenhouse on axis, flanked by two glass conservatories. It was designated as a landmark in 1990 and was awarded the Ballinger award in 1997.
