		Addison and Wilson Mizner were an odd couple, with all the warring qualities and abrasiveness that implies.
		Addison and Wilson were barely in their twenties when they joined two of their brothers in the Alaska gold rush, where it seems that Addison worked diligently at the backbreaking work of digging gold while Wilson showed more interest in learning the ropes of cards and cons.
		Seebohm faults Johnston for the caricature of Addison as a semiliterate, untrained architect, and particularly for purveying the tale of the forgotten staircase that ultimately had to be built outdoors.

		Mizner lifted the smaller house to serve as the second story of the northwest wing of Casa Coe da Sol.
		Mizner designed the bronze sashes because of the impracticality (steel and iron sashes rusted, wood rotted in the ocean spray) of wood and metal sashes in Florida.

		The size of the family did mean, however, that by the time Addison and his younger brother, Wilson, came along, the parental grip on the Mizner boys had weakened, and their education suffered.
		Addison's father was Lansing Bond Mizner, the eldest of three children, who started life in Walnut Grove, Illinois, on December 5, 1825.
		Inquiring whether any of the veterans remembered Lansing Mizner, he found that a lively eighty-year-old colonel, Andrew Fuller Rodgers, not only remembered his old school friend and compatriot "Lance" but also, astonishingly, was one of the survivors of the wreck of the Independence.

	Architect of Palm Beach: Addison Mizner
		A former miner and prizefighter, Addison Mizner was an unemployed architect when he arrived in Palm Beach in 1918.
		The success of the club, and the house he subsequently built for society bigwig Eva Stotesbury, won Mizner commissions all over Palm Beach as the wintering wealthy decided to swap suites at one of Henry Flagler's hotels for a "million-dollar cottage" of their own.
		Mizner sprayed condensed milk onto walls to create an impression of centuries-old grime and fired shotgun pellets into wood to imitate wormholes.

		Unfortunately, as Addison and Wilson Mizner, the deceased subjects of this eagerly awaited, long-gestating new musical, would be happy to tell you, sometimes to risk all is to fail utterly.
		Addison eventually discovered his calling as a self-taught architect catering to the outrageously wealthy, concocting exotic palaces full of elaborately faked old-world touches.
		But Sondheim, too, is forced to shoehorn Addison's subsequent transition from idler to investor to connoisseur to architect in a single, improbable sequence (it does, however, allow him to unleash a funny, Cole Porter-esque bazaar of imagery in some effortlessly brilliant lyrics).

	The Mizner Touch \| Robb Report
		Mizner’s contribution in the 1920s to Florida’s Mediterranean Revival style was an inventive and often exuberant hybrid of Spanish, Italian, and Moroccan design that reflected not so much a healthy respect for history as an unabashed will to create it.
		Mizner’s fantasies live on in Boca Raton in the buildings he designed and in the work of modern architects and designers.
		Mizner’s passion for historical details was such that he created them when he could not find them, and he had few reservations about establishing his own factory to mass-produce the “antique” furniture and architectural ornament necessary to furnish his houses.

	2blowhards.com: The Other Modern Architecture -- Addison Mizner
		Amazingly enough, the Mediterranean (Spanish and Italian, mainly) Revival was brought to Florida and established as a style there by one man: Addison Mizner (1872-1933).
		Mizner grew up in California and adventured his way around much of the world before settling in NYC in his 30s, ambitious to become a society architect like his idol Stanford White.
		Mizner did nothing to "advance" architecture -- he had no formal training, and no interest whatsoever in innovation.

		Seebohm goes into great detail not only about the building of the houses, churches, and golf clubs, but about the complete history of Addison's rather large family most of whom, outside of Addison and Wilson, turn out to be rather stuffy and of little interest to the reader.
		The older book's endearing picture of Addison sketching his buildings' designs as he stood out in the Florida sun with his workers in front of an empty sand lot is a beguiling one.

		The idea, I believe, is to start the show (which begins with the Mizners' deaths, travels to heaven for their testy reunion, and then goes back to Earth for the boys' early years) in a heightened vaudevillian vein.
		But by the time Addison Mizner is spitting rage at his late, unlamented mother, dead on the sofa with a blanket over her head -- what must poor Jane Powell be thinking under there?
		One version of his Mizner musical, ultimately unfinished, carried the working title "Palm Beach," based on Cleveland Amory's book "The Last Resorts." The musical was to have focused on the Florida land boom exploits of the Mizners.
