First published in 1974, Barbara Hoffstot's Landmark Architecture of Palm Beach issued a clarion call for more awareness of and improvements to the existing system for protecting the historic landmarks of Palm Beach. The town council responded in 1979 by approving an ordinance establishing the Landmarks Preservation Commission, which identifies and works to protect historic structures.
