Deering built Vizcaya—a Gilded Age home of singular architecture and design in an uncommon location—as a place of retirement and respite for his pernicious anemia, which was incurable at the time. He was a lifelong bachelor with no direct descendants, and Deering left no instruction for Vizcaya in his Will or otherwise. Upon his death, the estate’s ownership transferred rapidly among family members ultimately landing with Deering’s nieces: Barbara Deering Danielson and Marion Deering McCormick.
