Description

Ca' d'Zan or house of John. This was John Ringling's gift to his wife Mable. It was based off an Italian design. The window panes are of different colors and coordinate with the design of the interior of the house. John Ringling was the most successful of five brothers that owned the Ringling brothers circus. He invested in land and owned most of what is Sarasota today. The stock market crash destroyed the value of the land and he ended up dying with only 500 dollars left in his bank account. He left his home and art collection to the State of Florida.
