It stated Plant met her while she married and had a child. It stated Plant paid her husband an amount in the millions for him and the child to leave the marriage. He then married her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-55069539090861635362014-12-10T11:47:06.941-08:002014-12-10T11:47:06.941-08:00It is so sad that last night's meeting of Dec....It is so sad that last night's meeting of Dec. 9, 2014, it was decided by the officials of the Town of Belleair, FL and they have made their final decision on what will happen to the once beautiful Belleview Biltmore, in spite of Peabody Hotel notifying them that they were willing to buy her and "restore her to her once grandeur". The decision was made that 95% of the historic hotel will be torn down and replaced with MORE condos!

The neighboring Holbrook house, at 2-4 E.52nd St., now conjoined with the Plant house, is the building designed by Gilbert. Several guidebooks, not clearly written, have compounded this misunderstanding with unclear language.The Down East Dilettantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950254669198151850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-77054686292368315592011-12-01T23:03:20.930-08:002011-12-01T23:03:20.930-08:00I just stubbled upon your post while searching for...I just stubbled upon your post while searching for a few dates associated with the Plant family. I am publishing a series of novels called "The Spirits of the Belleview Biltmore", the setting of which is the Belleview Biltmore in Belleair, FL, built by Henry Plant in 1896. Morton Plant added one wing to the Belleview Hotel in 1901 and when he died, John Bowman bought it, built another wing, and added the 'Biltmore' name. The hotel was closed 2 years ago for a planned total renovation, but then the real estate market tanked and the property was sold in lieu of foreclosure. Now those of us who love the hotel and the Plant stories are trying to save it from demolition. I'm hoping the first novel in my series, which will be released within the next 1-2 months, will help find a buyer, willing to continue the renovation. Anyway, I really enjoyed the article & was glad to find someone else who is interested in these old buildings.
