| The Camino Real Road and Bridge Historic District Boca Raton, Florida (November 17, 1997) |
The Camino Real Road and Bridge Historic District is located in Boca Raton. What makes the area and these resources so important is Boca Raton did not evolve like other cities of its age but rather was born of a grand conceptual plan. This grand plan was conceived by architect Addison Mizner. When Mizner’s company went bankrupt in 1927 construction was continued under Clarence Giest’s supervision. Unfortunately, Giest did not live to see the completion of the project. The Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works finally completed the Camino Real Bridge in 1939. The Board of County Commissioners created the historic district in 1997. |
