1. The First Juno Beach Town Hall Marker
-On this site, a Standard Oil gas station built around 1949 became Juno Beach's first Town Hall in 1961, when the population was approximately 250.
-The Town leased the building for $1 per year until it took ownership in 1974. Three neighboring condominiums, wishing to ensure it would remain a town hall for at least ten more years, purchased the property from Standard Oil for $65,000. They sold it to the town for $35,000.
-The front left of the former gas station was extended to make room for the Town Commission table, which was located in the space where cars had parked for gas.
-The Town Commission/Council used the building for meetings and staff offices until 1991, when the present Town Center was built. By then, the population had grown to more than 2,000.
-This Town Hall was demolished in 1992.
Erected by Town of Juno Beach.
