A retired architecture professor (at Florida Atlantic University), Dr. Donald Curl leads historical tours, is an active member of the Boca Raton Historical Society, a member of the city's Historic Preservation Board, advisor to the Historical Society of Palm Beach County, and sits on the Palm Beach landmarks commission. His pivotal work, 1984's Mizner's Florida: American Resort Architecture helped reestablish interest in Addison Mizner as the country's reigning architect of Mediterranean Revival style, popular in the 1920s and 1930s. He has published eight books and has regularly contributed essays and columns to Florida history and national architecture magazines.
