History of St. Armands Circle

In the early 1920's John Ringling purchased Bird Key, St. Armands Key and Lido Key. His first project was to connect them to the mainland with a bridge. Bird Key came with an existing mansion that he hoped would serve as the winter White House for President Warren G. Harding. He believed this would help advertise his development, Ringling Isles, and boost sales there. Ringling named the streets on adjoining Lido Key in honor of American presidents. The pool below is still there, next to the Radisson. Plans are being drawn up to repair the pool and re-open it.
