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.
