2. Whitehall (National Historic Landmark Nomination).
Whitehall, a marble mansion of the Gilded Age, was constructed on the west side of the island of Palm Beach, Florida, in 1900-1901. It is a two-and-a-half story monumental residence designed in the Neoclassical Revival style by Carrθre and Hastings, the distinguished New York architectural firm. The style of the building and its proportions are more characteristic and reminiscent of a large civic building than a private dwelling.(Submitted on January 30, 2026, by Ian Lefkowitz of New York, New York.)
