Vintage photos show Mar-a-Lago before Donald Trump owned the nearly 100-year-old estate

Marjorie Merriweather Post built Mar-a-Lago as her winter home in Palm Beach, Florida, in 1927.
Donald Trump bought Mar-a-Lago in 1985. It served as his “winter White House” during his presidency.
The Mediterranean-style villa features 114 rooms and nearly 20 acres of grounds.

Before former President Donald Trump owned Mar-a-Lago, it belonged to the richest woman in the US.

Marjorie Merriweather Post, heiress to her father’s Post cereal fortune, built the Palm Beach, Florida, estate as her winter home. Construction began in 1924 and finished in 1927, making Mar-a-Lago almost 100 years old.

During the rest of the year, she divided her time between Hillwood Estate, a 26,000-square-foot mansion in Washington, DC, and Camp Topridge in the Adirondack Mountains in Upstate New York.

These vintage photos show what Mar-a-Lago looked like while Post lived there.
