When President Trump [huddled with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe](http://time.com/4669571/north-korea-mar-a-lago-nuclear-football-korea/) at the Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida, he was helping fulfill a plan decades in the making.

Built by cereal heiress and philanthropist Marjorie Merriweather Post in 1927, the property was supposed to become a [“Winter White House”](http://time.com/4661763/mar-a-lago-donald-trump-marjorie-post/) upon her death. Presidents Nixon and Kennedy even spent time there.

But the upkeep proved too expensive, and the property returned to private hands, eventually ending up as a private club run by Donald Trump.

Now, things have come full circle. See photographs from inside the “Winter White House.”
