SARASOTA HISTORY
As in many places in Florida, Native Americans were Sarasota's first
inhabitants. Evidence of prehistoric mounds and middens peppers the
coastline and keys.
Treasure-seeking explorers and conquistadors were the first Europeans
to venture into the area, including Hernando de Soto - and legend has it
Sarasota was named after his daughter Sara.
Ca
d'Zan
by Pat Keeche
The
30-room Ringling residence is among the most charming creations
of 1920's interest in ornately decorated mansions for the rich
and famous. In the traditions of Hearst's San Simeon and
Deering's Vizcaya, Ringling's Ca d'Zan represents the American
domestic architectural preoccupation with historical styles
during the period.
The
rooms of the mansion reflect the Ringlings' tastes and times,
showing a glimpse of the private life behind the mansion walls
by presenting many of Ringlings' decorative art objects as well
as a portion of tapestry, silver, porcelain and furniture
collections.
The
estate's garage was converted to The Ringling Museum of the
American Circus, celebrating its 50th year in 1998. Rare
handbills, posters, sequined costumes, miniature circuses and
elaborately carved circus wagons are just a part of what you
will see.

In 1843, a young adventurer named William Whittaker settled in the
Sarasota area, and gradually the area was built up by hardy colonists,
including a ship of settlers from Scotland. Among these was a man named
John Hamilton Gillespie - who later introduced golf to Sarasota,
building Florida's first golf course.
An influx of wealthy socialites settled the area starting in 1910,
setting the tone for Sarasota as a winter location for the cultured
crowd which continues year-round to this day. In fact, the performing
and visual arts in Sarasota had been established before most Florida
cities even had post offices.
During a real estate boom in the '20s, circus magnate John Ringling
and his wife Mable constructed their magnificent winter residence "Ca'd'Zan"
("House of John"), and a museum to house their extensive art
collection. The mansion, modeled after the Dode's Palace in Venice
reflects Ringling's interest in Italian Art & Architecture and the
museum has one of the largest Baroque collections in the world. Ringling
also made Sarasota the winter headquarters of his world-renowned
Ringling Brothers Barnum & Baily Circus.
