Tiffany's fascination with Florida began in 1884 when he accompanied his wife Louis to St. Augustine. Starting in 1909 Tiffany made annual winter visits to Miami until he eventually settled in his final estate, Comfort Lodge located on the prestigious Millionaire's row. Appropriately, his estate was beautifully surrounded by ancient mangroves.
