About Old Floresta
Boca Raton's first designated historic district and the city's only intact Mizner-era enclave, a canopy of banyan and royal palm shading 29 original 1925-26 Spanish Colonial Revival villas of rough stucco, barrel tile, and wrought-iron balconies.
Architect Addison Mizner announced the subdivision in October 1925 to house his company's executives, but Mizner Development collapsed in the 1926 land bust. Hermann V. von Holst foreclosed, completed the homes, renamed it Floresta, and the district was officially designated by the City of Boca Raton in 1990.
Notable in Old Floresta:
- Fred C. Aiken House at 801 Hibiscus Street (1926, National Register 1992)
- Lavender House at 875 Alamanda Street (1926, National Register 1995)
- Botanical street names laid out by von Holst and a continuous canopy of original Mizner-planted royal palms
