The Everglades Club is a social club in Palm Beach, Florida. When its construction began in July 1918, it was to be called the Touchstone Convalescent Club, and it was intended to be a hospital for the wounded of World War I. But the war ended a few months later, and it changed into a private club.

Paris Singer and his good friend, the architect Addison Mizner, were visiting Palm Beach in the spring of 1918. Singer decided to build a hospital with Mizner as the architect. Singer had already built three hospitals in France for the wounded. It was during World War I when only war-related buildings could be built. Construction began in July. (The site at the west end of Worth Avenue formerly contained Alligator Joe's, a tourist attraction.) By November 1918 seven residential villas and a medical center had been built on the north side of Worth Avenue, across from the main building. Singer purchased laboratory and surgical equipment and fittings for an operating room. Singer sent out as many as 300,000 invitations to eligible Army and Navy officers, who had to be screened and had to be able to pay their own room and board.

However, World War I had ended, and most former soldiers wanted to go home. The hospital was reenvisioned as a private club; the medical equipment was donated to a hospital in West Palm Beach. There was a main building, eight separate villas, tennis courts, a parking garage across the street, and a yacht basin. The club opened on 25 January 1919. Paris Singer was the President of the club and he decided who could become a member. For its second season in 1920, Mizner supervised the construction of a nine-hole golf course and the landscaping of the club's 60 acres. He also built Via Mizner, an addition on Worth Avenue with eleven apartments and sixteen shops.

Mizner's design for the Everglades Club was widely considered to be the biggest success of his career." It helped establish a new architectural style for Florida. In the club's first season Mizner received four architectural commissions. He went on to become America's foremost society architect of his era.

Singer began his club with twenty-five charter members. Two years later, the membership was closed at 500 members. Eliza Osgood Vanderbilt Webb (1860–1936) was one of its earliest female members. Businessman Jack C. Massey was a member.

An additional nine holes were added to the golf course in 1930.

Only comes with ONE pillowcase.
Color: White, Size: Queen(Pack of 1)
Pillowcase seems nice. I didn’t read the description closely enough to see it only comes with ONE pillowcase. The photo clearly shows two, which is misleading and the item name states “pillow cases” plural, as if there are two. Then wayyyy down in the description it says pillow cases are sold individually.

Good but slides off pillow
Color: Gray, Size: Standard(Pack of 2)
Ok these are actually cooling and a decent material but they keep sleeping off my pillows and it’s so frustrating. I don’t know if it’s because my pillows and gel memory foam but I cannot keep them on for anything. Because of the price I’m going to keep them just wish they would stay on.

Soft material and feels cool for a few minutes
Color: Gray, Size: Queen(Pack of 2), Color: Gray, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
These pillow cases are extremely soft and smooth to the touch, which feels amazing, but at the same time they do feel slippery especially when the pillows are stacked on top of one another. I noticed that when I used these pillow cases along with another set of pillows with a different material, that they would easily slide around as well. The quality of the pillowcases feel durable even though it may feel soft. I like the light grey color that I chose and since it's a queen sized pillowcase, the memory foam pillows that I have were able to fit easily. The cooling feature on the material of these pillow cases feels really nice and makes a noticeable difference especially when the weather is starting to get warmer. Although the material will start to feel warm on contact on one side after a few minutes, it will still feel cool once I flip my pillow to the other side. Overall, I like the quality of the material since it feels soft, but for $15 it might seem overpriced.
