New National Historic District in the works, from the Shiny Sheet

From Aleese Kopf at the Shiny Sheet we this story about a new historic district perhaps coming to Palm Beach:

The Town Council gave landmarks consultant Murphy Stillings permission Wednesday to continue work toward designating the area — bounded by Royal Poinciana Way, Bradley Place, Sunset Avenue and North County Road — as a historic district in the National Register of Historic Places.

In March, the council directed the consultant to initiate the process and study its feasibility. In the past eight months, Murphy Stillings completed a preliminary site investigation, which was approved by the state Division of Historical Resources, and a nomination application.

“The research is complete,” Planning, Zoning and Building Director John Page said Wednesday. “It essentially represents confirmation of the fact that a majority of the structures in the area are contributing and that the town can proceed forward with the likelihood that the national designation will occur.”
