===The Everglades Club=== [[File:EvergladesClub.jpg|thumb|The [[Everglades Club]], [[Palm Beach, Florida]].]] Mizner's first big commission, and the project that made him famous, was the [[Everglades Club]], which opened in January 1919. It was a "revelation" and its architectural effect "cannot be exaggerated".<ref name=Seebohm />{{rp|163}} Another scholar says that Mizner "revolutionized Palm Beach architecture".<ref name=Curl />{{rp|1}} No one had seen anything like it: a "gorgeous pink stucco palace, with arcades, wrought-iron balconies, and terra-cotta-tile roofs."<ref name=Seebohm />{{rp|163}} There were two four-hundred-year-old doors, and chairs of the same antiquity.<ref name=Seebohm />{{rp|164}} Hispanic tiles were everywhere. "It took the place by storm", said Singer years later.<ref name=Seebohm />{{rp|165}} An even larger project, the 147-room mansion [[El Mirasol (mansion)|El Mirasol]] (demolished), followed in 1919.<ref name=Seebohm />{{rp|166β168}} Mizner received many subsequent commissions, in what was the most successful part of his career. From 1919 to 1924 he designed about thirty-eight houses in Palm Beach. His clients were wealthy and socially prominent: [[Gurnee Munn]], [[John Shaffer Phipps]], [[Barclay Harding Warburton II]], [[Anthony Joseph Drexel Biddle Jr.]], [[Edward Shearson]], [[Rodman Wanamaker]], [[Paul Moore Sr.]], and [[Edward T. Stotesbury|Eva Stotesbury]] among them.<ref name=Seebohm />{{rp|170}} For them, he created "a Mediterranean village".<ref name=Seebohm />{{rp|171}}
