Mar-a-Lago's origins lie in the Gilded Age of the late 19th century. In 1924, cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post purchased the property and transformed it into a lavish estate. She commissioned architect Joseph Urban to design a magnificent Spanish-style palace, which she named Mar-a-Lago, meaning "Sea-to-Lake" in Spanish.
