- Accredited by the American Association of Museums and listed on the national Register of Historic Places, this 35-acre historic estate on Fort Lauderdale Beach is an extraordinary blend of art, history and nature. The whimsically-designed house was built in 1920 and was home to artists Frederic and Evelyn Bartlett. Bonnet House was the romantic, whimsical winter getaway of wealthy Chicago-born artist Frederic Clay Bartlett and his wife, Evelyn Fortune Bartlett, an artist in her own right. But unlike lavish show-palaces of the era, Bonnet House was a very personal, intimate creation intended just for family and close friends. It's been perfectly preserved in its 1930's and 40's period of significance, full of delightful surprises.Accredited by the American Association of Museums and listed on the national Register of Historic Places, this 35-acre historic estate on Fort Lauderdale Beach is an extraordinary blend of art, history and nature.

Extremely poor management. They rely on under trained volunteers who do not give adequet information about what Bonnet House offers nor, and even more importantly, what is expected from their clients. Sure if the client reads 6 pages of the map (most clients don't), some pertinent information, but not all, can be found. A few easy and obvious fixes would be: upon entrance a staff member explaining basic pricing options and basic grounds rules. Add signs that indicate where photos are not permitted and signs that state that guests may only enter house rooms with a tour guide. Being accosted by a staff supervisor in a very aggressive manner is certainly not the way to first alert the customer of very understandable rules. The grounds are pretty. I would suggest that with some of the money Bonnet House is saving by having unpaid volunteers, it uses some money for better training, better customer communication as well as putting a bit of money in the roof and paint job before Mother Nature consumes what is left of this beautiful property.
