What the town’s records show
A Town Council agenda dated April 10, 2019 lists a public hearing on the “Landmark Designation of 911 N. Ocean Blvd – Front Wall and Seawall.” The hearing covered the front wall and seawall, not the house. We could not open the town’s record of the outcome as of Oct. 27, 2026, so we are not reporting whether those elements were designated. We did not find a 2026 demolition, subdivision or ARCOM filing for the address in the town records we checked as of Oct. 27, 2026. For how teardowns move through Palm Beach review, see our coverage of the OLIN demolition on the South End.
