  ART DECO HISTORY...
Did you Know?

 

 

Art Deco design is a jazzy celebration of the Machine Age, mass production, geometry, and the straight line. In Palm Beach County, sleek themes are seen representing tropical, nautical, masculine, and stylized motifs that reflect speed and technology.


Palm Beach County has dozens of Art Deco treasures built throughout the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, which are located in the downtowns of Delray Beach up through West Palm Beach.


These buildings are significant to the history of South Florida because they represent some of the earliest structures ever built in the area. These remarkable gems are in danger of being demolished due to the ever-increasing amount of development throughout the county.



Casa Grandview's Art Deco Cabana Suites' property is located in Grandview Heights Historic District in the West Palm Beach Downtown area.  Come celebrate and re-live one of the most exciting times in history with rich architecture combined with modern day amenities and services.  Each suite was carefully named and designed for a specific theme in the Art Deco era.  Choose the one which fits your personality as you travel back in time!
