Q. What construction worker on the Royal Palm Hotel later became Mayor of Miami?*

A man once observed, "The Florida East Coast Railroad reached here the latter part of April, 1896, and the passenger trains were soon put on. Then it seemed that the flood gates were opened and people came from everywhere." This man and his brother would both go on to become mayors of Miami.
