History of the Esther B. O’Keeffe Building
In 1929, businessman and philanthropist Colonel Edward R. Bradley commissioned “Society Architect” Addison Mizner to design the Florida Embassy Club, an exclusive supper club that quickly became popular among Palm Beach’s elite and socialites. After Bradley’s death, The Society of the Four Arts acquired the Embassy Club and architect John L. Volk (1901 – 1984) transformed it into the Esther B. O’Keeffe Gallery Building. Volk enclosed the courtyard to become a 700-seat theater (now the Gubelmann Auditorium) and renovated the interior to become art galleries. The Four Arts is proud to be accredited through the American Alliance of Museums.
