1920s Postcard Showing the Gulfstream Hotel

I'm doing some research now about the 1920s in Palm Beach. It's leading up to a talk I will be giving in April. In the process, I am learning about a decade that experienced many technological advances and more than a few excesses - not unlike the period we are living through now. The decade of the 1920s was our "boom" period in South Florida. It really signaled the pattern of growth and retrenchment that has typified our regional development cycle. I'll be presenting more gems as I gather additional source material.

But for now, we have a chance to help out one Lake Worth's own signature historic properties from that era get back in service to the community. Please come out and voice your support for allowing the owners of the property to go forward with their plans to renovate the Gulfstream Hotel . If you cannot make the meeting tomorrow night, please contact any one of the Commissioners or the Mayor about the importance of denying the appeal of the Planning, Zoning and Historic Resource Preservation Board approvals related to the property.
