Town Hall, Palm Beach, Florida

Originally designed by the noted firm of Harvey and Clark in 1925, Town Hall was two separate buildings until  1960.  At  that   time,  Palm  Beach  architect John I. Volk seamlessly joined them with a new central addition.   In  1988   Keystone   Restoration  was commissioned  by  the  Town  of   Palm  Beach  to implement architect Jeffrey Smith's exacting historical restoration plans.  Keystone  Restoration's work  as general contractor included restoring the entire exterior and major  portions  of  the interior  of the  building while it was in-use,  including  ornamental   cast  stone, doors, windows, details and major systems. Our firm received the prestigious Florida Trust for Historical Preservation award in 1991 for it's outstanding achievement as general contractor.
