Join Ken in this episode of Minute Mansion as we explore the fascinating Villa Zorayda. Discover how Franklin W. Smith's pioneering use of poured concrete and crushed coquina shells not only set a new construction standard but also inspired Florida's fantasy architecture wave. Dive into the villa’s past transformations—from a grand private residence to a nightclub and casino.
