Royal Poinciana Theater and property

Comment Up

The Palm Beach Landmarks Protection Referendum Petition may be printed from the website of the Palm Beach Theater Guild. They have 600 petitions from Palm Beach voters. They need 300 more.

The petition, if adopted by the voters in a general election, would give Palm Beach voters the right to determine if a public, landmarked building could be demolished. They are urging you to contact one, two, or more friends who vote in Palm Beach and ask them to download the petition from and mail the petitions to P.O. Box 726, Palm Beach FL 33480.

This is another reason why we need Florida Hometown Democracy. The elected officials, not only want to build two condo buildings on that site but the land use must be changed for them to do so. Enough is enough.

This is an historic building and the residents of Palm Beach need their voices heard.

This is not a "public" building - it is privately owned. There is a difference between a building that is "public" and one that was open to the "public" at one time.

So, are you telling us that because it is privately owned that the owner gets to demolish this historic building just because he wants to because of the almighty dollar? This building has everything to do with Palm Beach's heritage. Historic preservation safeguards that, or should.
