The Ballroom. Closed off however one of those Flagler students told me that Mary Harkness haunts it... at any rate, it must be spectacular as I found these in Flickr.

Fancy digs, no? I also love the shells, I think they're brass that has weathered but I'm not sure... Can you imagine how stunning it would have been newly opened with all the electric lights?
