The Cartier Mansion

The Cartier Mansion stands out with its warm earthy tones against the dull grays of its surroundings. It was built originally as the home of railroad/hotel/steamship magnate, Henry Plant, and sold to Cartier Jewelers for $100 plus a $1,000,000 double strand pearl necklace for his wife in 1917.
