Boca Raton chimneys split between Mizner districts and the barrier island
Boca Raton spans inland historic districts and a five-mile Atlantic shoreline. Old Floresta — laid out by Addison Mizner in the 1920s — and the Boca Raton Historic District hold Mediterranean Revival and Spanish-style homes with stucco chimneys and clay-tile caps. Palmetto Park Road and later streets add 1960s mid-century moderns. Oceanfront communities east of A1A add salt-air corrosion on metal.
Inland stucco can crack from humidity while A1A metal rusts. The free inspection names the construction and the failed component at that address. Appearance limits on historic masonry should be stated before work starts.
