Used daily by the Flaglers for less formal meals, Henry and Mary Lily Flagler ate breakfast in this room each morning. Servants had direct access to the Breakfast Room through a door that connected to the butler’s pantry and kitchen area. The Flaglers’ breakfast was served at a specific time each morning. Any guests staying at Whitehall who were not in the Breakfast Room by the appointed time could have their breakfast at the Hotel Royal Poinciana.

On the walls hang paintings by Martin Johnson Heade, a famous American landscape and floral painter who, for a period of time, worked in St. Augustine under Flagler’s patronage.
