Party/exhibit/auction at Coral Gables Museum. Trolley stops with entertainment/exhibits at Merrick House, Venetian Pool and Biltmore Hotel. Don your straw boater, your pearls on a string. Hop in your breezer and join in the fling! We will party like it's 1921 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the first land sales in Coral Gables. Auctioneer Doc Dammers--who would become the City's first mayor--was the charismatic "iron man of real estate" who sold the Castles in Spain concept with George Merrick.
