 About us

The present Boynton Woman's Club, 1010 S. Federal Highway, designed by famed architect, Addison Mizner, was built 1925-1926 for $50,000. The cornerstone was laid in 1932 and the building and property was dedicated to Major Nathan Smith Boynton, whose heirs had contributed $35,000 toward this memorial to him. It housed the community's library until 1961 and continues to serve as a meeting place for social and service groups. 

It houses a mural history of Boynton Beach, painted by noted muralist, Bernard P. Thomas (1918-1994) for the Boynton Woman's Club.

Mr. Thomas also conducted art classes at the clubhouse and his students painted the background scenery for the ballroom stage. Click to enlarge photo
