The Viscaya residence and gardens were built in the 1920s by James Deerings. Iowa farm boys like me may not recognize the name, but we do recognize his field - farm equipment. Deering was a principle in International Harvester. I have no idea if there was call for his equipment in Florida, but perhaps he liked the climate. He did like the architecture and design of the Italian Renaissance and that is how he had his designers model his estate.
