The Webcam, located just around the corner from At Journey’s End B & B, provides a live window on the formal plaza gardens, fountain and streetscape outside what was originally the grand Alcazar Hotel. Built in 1887 by Henry Flagler, the Spanish Renaissance-style structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The former luxury hotel now houses the Lightner Museum and St. Augustine City Hall offices.
The plaza and King Street thoroughfare visible online are a hub of activity, surrounded by other historic structures, including the former Ponce de Leon Hotel, another National Register site built in the 1880′s by Flagler, which has housed Flagler College since 1968.
The Web cam allows viewers to see in real time the swaying palm trees, ambling horse-drawn carriages and strolling visitors around the formal plaza gardens and fountain. Coming soon will be the addition of a control that will let visitors to the Web site manipulate the camera for different views. Special events, such as the wintertime Nights of Lights celebration, will enliven the scene from time to time. So check back often!
