Villa Serena, also known as the William Jennings Bryan House, in Miami, Florida, was a winter home of politician William Jennings Bryan. [4] The Bryans hosted events of 500 persons there many times. [5]

It was designed by architect August Geiger (1887-1968). [2]

Villa Serena was purchased by philanthropist Adrienne Arsht in 2007. Arsht spent four years renovating the property, keeping it in line with the traditional architectural elements.
