At Via Mizner Palm Beach

Greeting from On the Avenue celebrating Addison Mizner’s 150th Birthday

Town Mayor Danielle H. Moore, along with the Worth Avenue Association and the Historical Society of Palm Beach County, welcomed more than 100 guests to Via Mizner for a reception celebrating Addison Mizner’s 150th birthday, who was born this day (December 12th) in 1872.

The Mayor’s Proclamation acknowledged Mizner’s legacy as an architect, designing more than 60 houses and buildings on Palm Beach, and as a craftsman, establishing Mizner Industries manufactured building materials and artifacts utilized throughout South Florida.

Jeremy W. Johnson announced the Historical Society’s forthcoming publication of Addison Mizner’s Palm Beach: A Memoir by Pineapple Press, Florida’s flagship book publisher. “Told in Mizner’s own voice, the memoir will provide readers with the ultimate insider’s guide to the building of Palm Beach.”

The book’s Foreword and Afterword were written by architectural and social historian Augustus Mayhew who also provided a timeline of Mizner’s Palm Beach works and the essay Manufactured History: The Making of Mizner Industries.
