2008 annual report

Henry Morrison Flagler Museum

1902 2008

President’s Letter

Dear Members and Contributors:

Two thousand and eight was a year of remarkable accomplishments at the Museum. I hope you will take pride, as you read this Annual Report, in what we have accomplished together during the past year.

While, by the end of the year, the worldwide economy was in decline and tourism to Palm Beach County had fallen by double digits, the Museum saw a 25% increase in paid attendance during the fourth quarter, Pavilion Café business was up 23%, Holiday Evening Tour sales were up 19%, there was a record turnout for the annual Christmas Tree Lighting, and program subscriptions for the new Season were well ahead of the previous year. Clearly, the new programming and all of the work that has been accomplished, with your support, over the past decade have made it possible for the Museum to continue to do well in the face of the current economic challenges.

Like all nonprofits, the Museum’s endowment has been seriously affected by the downturn in the economy and the Museum has tightened its belt in order to meet that challenge. However, the Trustees and staff of the Museum remain committed to not only maintaining but improving, where possible, the Museum’s many programs and services to its Members and visitors.

On behalf of my fellow Trustees, and the Museum staff, thank you for your support during the past year, it has been essential to making the many impressive accomplishments of 2008 possible. Our goal for 2009 is to demonstrate that the Museum and its programs are worthy of your continued support, which is more important now than ever to the continued success of the Museum.

Thank you,

George G. Matthews President, Board of Trustees

While 2008 will likely be remembered by most as the year when the challenges of the economic environment began in earnest for nonprofits in general, in many ways it was the best year in the Flagler Museum’s history. The achievements of the year were not only impressive, but they set the stage for an even more

impressive year to follow.

Exhibits

T he Flagler Museum was fortunate to host two terrific exhibitions for 2008, each accompanied by a Children’s Exhibit Activity and a Gallery Talk.

2

In January, Untamed: The Art of Antoine-Louis Barye opened for three months. On loan from the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, renowned for its collection of works by Barye, the exhibit featured some of the most magnificent examples of Barye’s sculptures, as well as rare oil paintings, watercolors and sketches that represent a less well known area of his work.

In October, Parks, Palaces, and Public Buildings: Richard Morris Hunt and American Architecture opened for three months. Co-curated by the Museum’s Chief Curator, Tracy Kamerer and Sherry Birk, Special Advisor to the American Architectural Foundation and former Director of the Octagon, the exhibit featured approximately 80 drawings, watercolors, photographs, and objects from one of America’s greatest nineteenth-century architects illustrating how the visionary’s career transformed American architecture.

Programs and Member Events

T he 2008 Season began in earnest with the opening concert of the Flagler Museum Music Series with the Brazilian Guitar Quartet. Featuring custom made eight-string guitars, The Palm Beach Post raved, “It was an exceptional opener for the Flagler Museum Music Series. It boasted a program of near-symphonic scope.”

And, so went the ninth season of the Series with four more performances by Trio Fedele, Red Priest, Cuarteto Casals, and Alexander Markov.

The twenty-third annual Whitehall Lecture Series focused on the Great Expositions of the Gilded Age with lectures by noted authors on the 1901 Pan-American Exposition, the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition, the 1905 Lewis and Clark Centennial and American Pacific Exposition and Oriental Fair, the 1889 Exposition Universelle, and the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition.

Other lectures at the Museum in 2008 included a discussion of the significance of clocks and clock design during the Gilded Age by Robert Desrochers, formerly the conservator at the National Watch & Clock Museum, the debut of a new book and lecture by South Florida author, Les Standiford, titled The Man Who Invented Christmas: How Charles Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’ Rescued His Career and Revived Our Holiday Spirits, and a lecture by Douglas Chambers of the Carnegie Hero Fund honoring recent recipients of the Hero Medal, with many family members of Florida Hero Medal winners in attendance.

In February, the Whitehall Society hosted Dancing After Dark with a special dinner on Whitehall’s dock preceding the dance. The event raised nearly $60,000 for the production and distribution of the Newspapers in Education Tabloid Flagler’s Florida in late December to more than 250,000 fourth and fifth grade students in the 19 counties along Florida’s East Coast.

In the spring, the Museum hosted Appraisal Weekend with Tim Luke of Home & Garden Television’s Cash in the Attic, the Mayor’s State of the Town Address, the annual Easter Egg Hunt and Easter Egg Roll on Whitehall’s South Lawn, and Bluegrass in the Pavilion - featuring The Larry Stephenson Band and Steve Kaufman, the only person to win three National Flatpicking Championships.

For the past 22 years the Museum has paired volunteer mentors with students from Title I schools in Palm Beach County to work on the student’s creative writing skills. In 2008, thanks to a grant from the Hans and Mary Stramann Fund of the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties, the Mentor Program was expanded to serve twice the number of students and renamed the Inter-generational Mentor Program for Art, Culture, and Technology (IMPACT). Other Museum programs that served the Palm Beach County School District in 2008 included: free tours for about 4,500 students visiting with school groups, a teacher training workshop, and a special classroom activity and book signing for students of Pleasant City Elementary School with Kidnaped in Key West authors, Edwina Raffa and Annelle Rigsby. In 2008, the Museum and Pleasant City Elementary School formed an Education Partnership for the benefit of the students.

Each year on June 5th the Museum celebrates its anniversary by honoring its Founder, Jean Flagler Matthews with free admission to the Museum. On the 49th anniversary of the founding of the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum, nearly 2,000 people visited the Museum.

There is no better place to see the Independence Day fireworks over Lake Worth than from the Flagler Museum. Each Fourth of July the Museum invites Members at the Sustaining level and above to enjoy the fireworks from the Flagler Kenan Pavilion. Three new elements have been added to the Independence Day celebration at the Museum. Prior to the fireworks, Mayor Jack McDonald read the Declaration of Independence, the Boca raTONES sang patriotic songs, and the 21 versions of the American Flag that flew over this Nation during Henry Flagler’s lifetime were hung from the ceiling of the Pavilion.

Each summer, the Museum hosts summer camps developed around themes related to America’s Gilded Age for middle school age kids. Campers were treated to a variety of hands-on activities and experiences in both the Inventions that Changed the World and the Crime Investigation in the Gilded Age summer camps.

As has been the tradition at the Museum for 49 years, the youngest descendants of Henry Flagler lit the 16-foot Christmas Tree in the Grand Hall on the first Sunday in December. There was a record turnout to enjoy the activities of the day leading up to the Tree Lighting and to see Flagler’s great great great grandchildren light the Tree. The day’s activities included: Christmas music played on both the original grand piano made for the Drawing Room and the organ built into the Music Room, a lecture given by Les Standiford on Dickens and his book A Christmas Carol, Christmas carols sung in the Courtyard, a visit by Santa Claus in the Pavilion, and refreshments served in the West Room.

As the new Season began, new Member benefits were rolled out at the Museum. A new Kiosk was opened dedicated to Members. Reserved parking spaces nearest the Museum’s Main Gate were set aside exclusively for Members. And, a new Members and Visitors Concierge Desk was opened with the goal of providing the Museum’s Members and visitors the best possible service. The Members Kiosk and Concierge Desk will be open each year from November 1st through April 30th.

Conservation and Restoration

D uring the summer, the Museum undertook a number of conservation projects. A thorough survey of about 175 paintings in the Museum’s collection was completed in order to assess their condition and set conservation priorities. As time and resources permit, the Museum will conserve the paintings based on

the priorities established through the survey. A decade-long project to restore and replicate the beaded covers for every light bulb in Whitehall that originally had them was completed. Thanks to the dedicated work of a group of Museum Docents, Whitehall’s lighting has been restored to the original aesthetic. The Museum’s History exhibit, on the second floor, was completely renovated and updated with additional materials and information. The exhibit illustrates, through personal objects and photographs, the amazing lives of Henry and Mary Lily Flagler.

During the construction of the new elevator, a complete original shutter was discovered entombed in what was once an exterior wall of Whitehall, later covered over when the Hotel Addition was built in the 1920s. The shutter was in excellent condition more than eight decades after it was entombed and is an amazing example of the technology employed at Whitehall. The shutter was built like a venetian blind, except that it was intended for exterior use. The blades were of painted mahogany and instead of cloth webbing, engraved brass links held the blades together and the whole assembly was installed in a separate frame. The shutter could be operated completely from inside the building without opening the window. The blades could be completely closed to serve as a hurricane shutter. The blades could be drawn up into an exterior valance (which still exist today on the exterior of each of Whitehall’s windows) to allow as much light in as possible. Or, the entire frame with the blades could be swung out from the window to serve as a bahama shutter. There was even a fan work of blades to block light from entering from the sides of the shutter when opened outward. When used like bahama shutters and the windows opened, this elaborate shutter system allowed air to circulate through Whitehall while keeping the interior light levels low and preventing water from coming in during the occasional rain shower. When building Villa Vizcaya, James Deering dispatched staff to visit Whitehall to see how the building was kept cool and dry. As a result of that visit, the same shutter system was installed at Vizcaya and can still be seen today, hidden behind metal exterior grills that now cover the windows of Vizcaya.

Physical Plant

D uring the summer, construction of a new 25 passenger elevator began. When completed the new elevator will allow handicap access to the historic second floor for the first time in the Museum’s history. In addition to the elevator, construction began on a small building on the roof of the old Hotel Addition that will house

the Henry Flagler Harris Research Library. Construction was scheduled for completion in early 2009.

In the fall, the Museum replaced the brass key system with a CyberKey System. This new key and lock system creates an additional level of security that provides other museums with a greater comfort level when lending great works of art for exhibit at Whitehall.

Leadership and Recognition

F eatured in more than 100 programs and articles, the Museum continued to enjoy substantial media coverage both locally and internationally. Its status as a National Historic Landmark and one of Florida’s most important historic sites makes it an obvious focus for travel related articles, publications, and programs.

The historic and symbolic importance of the Museum are no doubt the reasons the Museum so often serves as the site for important community events. In January, the Museum hosted the Legislative Delegation for Palm Beach County for a town-hall meeting. And, in April the Museum was the place the Mayor chose to deliver his annual State of the Town Address.

The Museum was honored to receive three important awards in 2008. In January, the Palm Beach County Cultural Council presented the Museum with its first Muse Award for the Educational Program of the Year for the Museum’s Newspapers in Education Tabloid Flagler’s Florida. In April, the Museum received the Palm Beach Mayor’s Civic Award. And, in September the American Association of State and Local History presented the Museum with an Award of Merit for the Museum’s Newspapers in Education Tabloid Flagler’s Florida.

Collections and Acquisitions

D uring the 49 years that Whitehall has been open as a public museum, a great many objects have been loaned or given to the Museum’s collection. Each year a great many historically significant objects are

given to the Museum, which are too numerous to list here, but which are listed elsewhere in this report.

A recent loan of a number of objects from Leon and Charlotte Amar is both appropriate to the collection and time period and among the very best quality the Museum has ever received. The objects on loan from the Amars include: a Louis XV commode by French cabinetmaker, Lèonard Boudin (which has been described as one of the best commodes in the world), and a number of

paintings, including works by Richard Parkes Bonington, Thomas Lawrence, Jean Valade, and Henry Courtney Selous. These objects, and many others on loan from the Amars, are on exhibit throughout the Museum.

The Museum was fortunate in 2008 to add a number of objects to the Museum’s collection, including:

Of great historical interest is a gift to the Museum from the Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust of a collection of letters, photographs, and clippings that belonged to Henry M. Flagler’s granddaughter, Mary Flagler Cary.

A set of twelve sterling silver fruit spoons with gold wash, made by Whiting Manufacturing Company after 1891, gift of Dr. and Mrs. James T. Duncan.

A collection of 327 antique ladies’ hat pins, 18 hat pin holders, and reference materials, gift of Betty N. Herget.

A sterling silver flask decorated with sailboats that belonged to Joseph R. Parrott (President of the Florida East Coast Hotel Company from 1899 and the F.E.C. Railway from 1909), engraved with his name, made by Tiffany & Co.

Seven early sterling silver souvenir spoons, including the following subjects: the Hotel Royal Poinciana (three spoons); the Hotel Royal Palm; Seminole Indian figure; Florida Oranges; and Tarpon Springs.

A sterling silver spoon inscribed “Compliments of the Governor Albert W. Gilchrist.” On the back of the handle are three monkeys representing his motto, “Speak no evil, see no evil, hear no evil.” Spoons like this were given to graduates of Florida State College for Women when Gilchrist was Governor of Florida, 1909-1913.

Rare examples of early tableware from Florida East Coast Hotel Company properties, including: the Breakers Hotel ceramic bouillon cup, circa 1920s; the Breakers Hotel silver plated and glass condiment serving set, 1926; silver plated sugar bowl from the Hotel Ponce de Leon, circa 1890s; and a silver plated fruit spoon with the F.E.C. Hotel Company logo, made after 1897.

Thirteen historical postcards depicting scenes of old Palm Beach, Whitehall, F.E.C. Hotels, and the Key West Extension.

T he Museum’s accomplishments in 2008 were possible only because hundreds of Members, Contributors, Sponsors, and Grantors, who are listed in this Annual Report, believe that this National Historic Landmark must be preserved for generations to come and that its programs add value to the lives of the members of the

community and visitors from around the world. On behalf of the entire staff of the Museum, we deeply appreciate the support of every Member, Contributor, Sponsor, and Grantor.
