The Cottages of Lake Worth are small houses that serve as guest, holiday, vacation, or primary residence. They can be of any number of architectural styles, but in Lake Worth styles include Mission Revival, Frame Vernacular, Masonry Vernacular, Bahamian, Craftsman, Art Moderne, Art Deco and Contemporary. Many of our approximately 1,000 cottages are on 25 foot wide lots, under 1,000 square feet and built prior to 1939.

After Henry Flagler extended his rail line south from West Palm Beach to Miami in 1896, a land development plan was created for a town between the railroad and the lake. Finnish, German and Canadian pensioners who purchased agricultural lots west of town, also received a 25 foot wide lot within the City of Lake Worth close to the beach. 

The mission of the Cottages of Lake Worth is to introduce the citizens and visitors of Palm Beach County by celebrating and promoting the history of these unique structures and its people and to assure that this legacy is passed on to future generations. 

The Cottages of Lake Worth program includes a driving and walking tour and brochure with map, which will include descriptions of individual featured cottages. 

Inside many of our Cottages you would find original tall arched ceilings, Dade County Pine floors, wood bean ceilings and original plastered interior walls patterned and textured from neighboring Sea Grape leaves. Some have original fireplaces, lighting, doors, hardware, glass door knobs and mortise locks.
