Boca Raton Old City Hall, Rathaus in den Vereinigten Staaten
Boca Raton Old City Hall is a government building in Boca Raton, Florida, built in 1926 in Mediterranean Revival style and originally housed the police, fire department, and library. Today it functions as a history museum and welcome center, with exhibits displaying antique furniture, photographs, and artifacts from the city's early years.
The building was constructed in 1926 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It represents Boca Raton's early 20th-century growth and was designed by influential architect Addison Mizner, who shaped many structures in the region.
The building's name reflects its original role as a town government center. Inside, visitors can see exhibits featuring artifacts from Boca Raton's early days, including Spanish pieces that show how the Mediterranean style shaped the local identity.
The building is open Wednesday through Saturday, mostly during daytime hours, with a small admission fee. Visits are easily accessible, free parking is available nearby, and advance reservations are recommended, especially for groups.
The fire department section of the building had a large bay for fire engines with a wide side door, now used as a gift shop. This feature shows how the original building housed multiple city services in one location.
