VILLA MAYFAIR Villa Mayfair was built in 1898 by Prussian-born Gutav Busat, who married Martha Bertha Mattic in the same year. The octagonal turret Ð originally topped by a grand steel dome Ð has been a landmark for over 120 years. In 1902 matron Annie Mandeville opened a nursing home here. The flamboyant design, a riot of stained glass, decorative ironwork and ornate architectural detailing, provides a reminder of MayfairÕs founding as a fashionable address at the turn of the 19th Century.
