Boca Raton spans inland historic districts and a five-mile Atlantic barrier-island shoreline, so its Mediterranean Revival stucco chimneys face humidity-driven mortar and crown cracking inland while oceanfront homes east of A1A also contend with salt-air corrosion of metal chimney components. Boca Raton sits in Palm Beach County near the Old Floresta historic district, Boca's first historic district laid out by Addison Mizner in the 1920s, and the local housing shapes every creosote removal: 1920s-30s Mizner-influenced Mediterranean Revival and Spanish-style homes alongside 1960s mid-century moderns, with stucco exteriors and masonry/clay-tile-capped chimneys.
