About this property

The Boynton Woman's Club is a historic woman's club in Boynton Beach, Florida. Their 1925 building, located at 1010 South Federal Highway, was designed by South Florida architect Addison Mizner and constructed as a memorial to Major Nathan Smith Boynton through a $35,000 donation from the founder's family. It is Mizner's only known architectural project in Boynton Beach. The building provided numerous community services throughout its history, including serving as a hurricane shelter, Boynton Beach's first full-service library, a USO center for the Red Cross throughout World War II, and a meeting place for other organizations. On April 26, 1979, the Boynton Woman's Club was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Some modifications have been made to the structure, especially in 1986, when the roof, first-story flooring, air conditioning system, and plumbing were repaired or replaced, while an elevator was added. Currently, the building is owned by the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency.
