As West Palm Beach's oldest African-American community, established around 1905 with homes built through the 1920s, Pleasant City's older frame and masonry houses often have original chimneys where aged mortar and flue liners warrant inspection before any fireplace use. Most Pleasant City chimneys, from Division Avenue to Ninth Street, belong to Homes dating from about 1905 through the 1920s in West Palm Beach's oldest African-American community, including Frame Vernacular cottages and masonry buildings of the period, so we match the fireplace repair to that construction rather than a generic spec. We run the same route across Pleasant City and the wider West Palm Beach area, including Old Northwood and Downtown West Palm Beach.
