On the National Register of Historic Places, Grandview
Heights in West Palm Beach, established in 1910, includes twelve homes in
Craftsman, Florida Bungalow, Spanish Mission, Dutch Colonial Revival, Art Deco
and Mediterranean Revival-style homes to view.
Their Annual Grandview Historic Home Tour will be held Sunday, March 29th
from 3-7 pm. Tours began in 1995. There are 13 Historic Districts in West Palm
Beach.
Connect with early Florida lifestyles and view historical
Florida art as early as 1890 at Grandview Gardens Bed & Breakfast. Paintings are by Highwaymen, the itinerant African-American
artists whose work reflects Florida pastoral scenes.
A block party is included with entertainment by Lotsa
Papas and food, a plated meal, from the restaurant Aioli. Meet and mingle with creative homeowners.
Grandview Heights is located between Parker Avenue and the
FEC railroad tracks, just south of Okeechobee Blvd. Boundaries are Park Place, Alabama Avenue, M
Street and Lake Avenue. Residents with
2-story homes can see the Atlantic Ocean over the island of Palm Beach from 2nd
story windows. Hence, the area name evolved,
Grandview Heights. This is a successful
urban neighborhood with great diversity.

Admission is $35 with volume and early bird discounts. A souvenir booklet with a self-guided walking
