Built in 1925 as the personal residence of the founder of Hollywood by the Sea, Joseph W. Young. This 23 room Spanish Moorish architectural gem was designed by the prominent Indianapolis architects, Rubush and Hunter, with help from Young’s personal friend- famed architect Addison Mizner.  

In addition to building the City of Hollywood, Mr. Young also developed Port Everglades where Fort Lauderdale Airport is today, and he served as the first Mayor of Hollywood. The mansion is listed on the National Historic Register of Historic Places and the Florida State Heritage Register.
