The Lake Park Town Hall served as the municipal center of the town of Kelsey City, founded in 1921 by Harry Seymour Kelsey, a wealthy Bostonian who joined the Florida land boom in 1919 when he bought 30,000 acres in north Palm Beach. Eventually he went on to own 100,000 acres. He founded Kelsey City and invested a million dollars in his new town. The town hall was designed in a Mediterranean Revival style by architect Bruce Kitchell and built in 1927 by the Arnold Construction Company. The building contained the police and fire and departments, town administration, library, and courtroom. The next year in 1928, it survived the Okeechobee Hurricane and provided refuge for residents of the city during the storm. Many people left the town after the devastation of the storm and the collapse of the land boom in the 1920's and the Great Depression that followed. Eventual money problems with the IRS forced Kelsey to sell his town and in 1939 residents voted to change the name of the town to Lake Park. Through the years the second floor housed a ballroom used for dances and theatrical events. The Palm Beach Junior college was located in the town hall building in the 1950's. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981 and still serves as the town hall today.

Much to their credit they are fast, friendly... and get this... they let you smile for your driver's license photo, unlike many other states nowadays... (Something about how a smile transforms your face and can hide your true identity, according to some law enforcement somewhere...) So two hours later, I'm an official 'Floridian' license and registration and all. The service was great, the facilities are generic government bunker style, but clean and bright, not a bad place to sit for a couple of hours...

The maintenance department said they were coming on Friday - and never showed up. The Fire Department won't take phone calls on weekends, and if you call 911, they will tell you it is not an emergency. (She did.) Only it is. Besides my mother, my brother is in a wheelchair. This is a major tragedy waiting to happen. All the people on her floor are elderly. None of them could walk the stairs. They are shut in. Frankly, this is disgusting.

My stepdad is normally able to help us move him by providing some strength (he's a big guy), but that night he was fighting a UTI and just didn't have any strength to give. I couldn't move him by myself. I heard that the Fire Department could assist us, and so I called. They were wonderful and sent 2 paramedics right out. The two guys were really great and they make short work of moving him. I thanked them for this amazing service and they were so gracious and friendly. Wouldn't even take a tip. I would not use such a service on any regular basis because I know these folks have much more important work to do, but in that moment where I was truly out of options, it was a lifesaver. We are so lucky to have such a great fire department!
