“Code Enforcement issue at Holiday House”. It’s very sad to see our history be called a “nuisance”.

From the May 2nd Lake Worth City
Commission meeting:

“William Waters, Community Sustainability Director, introduced City Attorney Glen Torcivia who spoke about the nuisance property known as the Holiday House.”

Back in October 2013 the Holiday House came before with Historic Resource Preservation Board proposing a restoration. Four years later it’s a “nuisance property” here in our City. Makes one wonder when this structure will succumb to the wrecking ball.

“Back in the day” the Holiday House located at 320 N. Federal Hwy. was anything but a “nuisance”.
It was an anuual destination for many,
including Snowbirds.

Here is how many visitors arrived in
Palm Beach County:

Our “International Airport”.

And they arrived by train too:

Much like they will in the near future via the Brightline Station in West Palm Beach. Visitors
and tourists from Orlando and points south,
Ft. Lauderdale and Miami.

But will the little City of Lake Worth have
any hotels for these people to stay?

Until there’s a public outcry, and the political
will to make it happen, a future hotel in our
Downtown looks very bleak.
