The Casements - was built in the early 1900's by Episcopal Minister and Mrs. Harwood Huntington. The original three-story, 13-bedroom mansion was purchased by John D. Rockefeller in 1918 when the Huntington's put it on the market after becoming disenchanted with Florida. John D. Rockefeller had been spending his winters at the Hotel Ormond, (back then, just across Granada Blvd) and considered Ormond the healthiest spot on earth. The Casements became John D. Rockefellers winter retirement home until his death in 1937, at age 97. The City of Ormond Beach purchased this magnificent home in

1973 and restored it to its former glory. The Casements now serves as a cultural and leisure activities center for residents and visitors alike. You will certainly find a complete history of John D. Rockefeller and The Casements in the pages of this web site. We welcome your visit to The Casements where you will experience the rich history, romance and grandeur of this special historic place, located between the Halifax River and Atlantic Ocean in Ormond Beach, Florida.
