Norton House, Historic residence in Florida, United States.

Norton House is a two-story home at 253 Barcelona Road in West Palm Beach, Florida. Maurice Fatio designed it in 1925 in Mediterranean Revival style; Marion Sims Wyeth converted it to Modern Movement and Monterey styles after 1935. The property includes the house, Ann Norton's studio, and about 2 acres of gardens with over 100 of her sculptures and more than 300 species of tropical palms.

Maurice Fatio designed the two-story Mediterranean revival house in 1925. Ralph Hubbard Norton, founder of the Norton Museum of Art, bought it in 1935 for about $20,000 and hired Marion Sims Wyeth, later architect of the Florida Governor's Mansion, to convert it to the Modern Movement and Monterey styles. It joined the National Register on July 26, 1990, and the boundary was enlarged in 2025 to take in the sculpture gardens.

Ann Weaver Norton, a sculptor and children's book author, married Ralph Hubbard Norton in 1948 and set up the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens on the grounds in 1977, five years before her death. More than 100 of her sculptures stand in the house, her studio and the garden, among over 300 species of tropical palms. The garden was designed by Sir Peter Smithers.

The house and sculpture gardens sit on about 2 acres at 253 Barcelona Road in the El Cid neighborhood, with frontage on Barcelona Road and the Lake Worth Lagoon. The gardens, house and studio hold the sculptures and more than 300 species of tropical palms, so allow time to walk the grounds rather than only the house.

The 2025 boundary increase renamed the listing the Ann Norton House and Sculpture Gardens, folding the sculpture gardens into the National Register property. The same year saw a ten-year restoration completed at a cost of about $10 million. Sir Peter Smithers designed the garden layout around the palms.
