Experience
the "Original" Historic Home Tour in north downtown
West Palm Beach. Enjoy our holiday hospitality and
historic homes during the 24th Annual Old Northwood
Candlelight Home Tour. Savor food samplings from
our local neighborhood restaurants - with champagne
and wine served at each tour home. The neighborhood
will glow with candlelight and holiday finery.
Old Northwood was developed in the early 1920's during
the Florida boom era. Prominent architects such
as John Volk and William King designed homes that
made Old Northwood one of the most exclusive communities
this side of Palm Beach. By the 1970's, however,
the boom time glamour was long gone. The renaissance
of Old Northwood began in the mid eighties when residents
formed an association to revitalize and restore this
important part of West Palm Beach history.
Because of our neighborhood's determination to preserve
itself, Old Northwood has become a leader in older
coastal neighborhoods in the City of West Palm Beach.
Old Northwood has been instrumental in historic preservation....we
helped write the first historic preservation ordinance
and became the first nationally registered historic
district in the City. Come
and experience the hospitality and holiday spirit
that Old Northwood has shared for 24 years now!
