What's Happening?
Palm Beach is undertaking a restoration project for the historic reflecting pool in Memorial Park, designed by architect Addison Mizner in 1929. The project involves cleaning, repairing cracks, and refinishing the pool's interior. The restoration is being carried out by European Ornaments, a West Palm Beach-based contractor, and is expected to be completed by November 1. The pool is part of a larger park known for its Mediterranean Revival style, and the restoration aims to preserve its historical and aesthetic value.

As a landmark of the Mediterranean Revival style, the pool contributes to the town's cultural and historical identity. The project reflects a commitment to maintaining public spaces that enhance community aesthetics and historical appreciation. By investing in the restoration, Palm Beach ensures that future generations can enjoy and learn from its architectural legacy.
