Palm Beach Town Hall
Palm Beach Town Hall is a government building in Florida completed in 1925 in the Spanish Revival style. It features red tile details, curved architectural lines, and stucco walls, with its main entrance positioned on the southeast side of the structure.
The building was completed in 1925 as Palm Beach experienced rapid growth following the arrival of rail transport. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005 and stands as a record of the town's development during the early twentieth century.
The building sits in the middle of South County Road, a placement the town council chose in 1924 to bring government closer to the social life around the Everglades Club and Worth Avenue. A 1930 report by Bennett, Parsons & Frost criticised the siting but advised against moving or rebuilding. The Town Hall anchors Town Hall Square, a district of 17 structures designated in 1990, most by Harvey and Clarke, Treanor and Fatio, or Addison Mizner.
The building is located at South County Road and easy to find due to its distinctive architectural features. Visitors can walk around the exterior and explore the adjacent Memorial Park, which offers green space for walking.
The 1925 building was split into two structures with a courtyard between them; in 1967 architect John L. Volk and contractor E.B. Walton filled that courtyard in to add office space, merging the pair into the single block seen today.
