Mar-a-Lago: From Presidential Retreat to FBI Investigation
A Historic Resort's Tangled History
The sprawling Mar-a-Lago estate has been the scene of countless headlines in recent months, as the FBI investigates the handling of classified documents there. But the resort's history goes back much further than the Trump presidency.
The Early Years
Mar-a-Lago was built in the 1920s by cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post. She intended it to be a winter retreat for her and her third husband, Joseph E. Davies. The estate's name is Spanish for "sea to lake," and it boasts stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Palm Beach lagoon.
