Built in 1926, the Casa Caprona (also known as the Markent Apartments) is a historic building in Fort Pierce, Florida, USA. It is located at 2605 St. Lucie Boulevard. Designed in the Mediterranean Revival style by architects Arthur Beck and J.K. Shinn, it was envisioned as the centerpiece for the proposed winter community of San Lucie Plaza. However, due to the collapse of the Florida land boom, the project failed. On June 2, 1984, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
