Biography: George Seavey (1841-1916) was the brother of the Ponce de Leon hotel manager, Osborne Seavey. He was a gentleman with an enviable reputation as a flower painter. He had an atelier in the Studio Building in Boston. He also had another studio near The Maplewood Hotel in Bethlehem, New Hampshire. He had been painting in St. Augustine since 1883. His specialty was flower painting. His ability was appreciated by Mr. Flagler, who owned at least seven of his pictures, three of which occupied positions of honor in the parlors of the Ponce de Leon, while the others were in Mr. Flagler's private residence in New York. When his brother, Osborne Seavey left the Ponce de Leon hotel so did he.
