A Palm Beach Cream Puff









This charming house, at 270 Algoma Road, Palm Beach, is currently on the market. I found it most intriguing, as it was the home of Maurice Fatio, Mayor Ilyinksy, and Miles Collier over the years. To make it even more interesting, as far as provenance goes, it is listed by Liza and Peter Pulitzer. A real Palm Beach bit of social history, if ever there was one! Read the whole story, in the Shiny Sheet (Palm Beach Daily News) in the "Home and Loggia" section. Mayor Ilyinsky, a Russian Prince, was the mayor of Palm Beach for three consecutive runs. He was a direct descendant of the Romanovs. The decor' is credited to Maurice Fatio and Anne Lanfranchi, a decorator friend of the Fatios, who came to Palm Beach from Venice, Italy, and had a design shop on Worth Avenue for many years.
