The Cà d'Zan

The Cà d'Zan

The Cà d'Zan, or the "House of John, " is John and Mable Ringling's Venetian Gothic mansion on Sarasota Bay. "The imposing structure was originally intended to combine certain architectural features drawn from two of Mrs. Ringling's favorite Venetian hotels: the Danieli and the Bauer-Grünwald...The Ringlings moved into the mansion just before Christmas in 1926."
