LOCATION 1956 Parade of Homes Village of North Palm Reach The site of the 1956 Parade of Homes offers an excellent opportunity for the fifteen Build- ers to display their seventeen contemporary homes, unhampered by older, less modern construction. The new village of North Palm Beach is located just three miles north of Palm Beach on U.S. 1, at the southern edge of more than 1,000 acres of land surrounded almost en- tirely by water. As the community of North Palm Beach develops and grows, its shopping center, schools, churches, parks and recreational cen- ters will make it entirely self-contained. The Parade of Homes site is close to the social, recreational and business life of the entire area commonly called "The Palm Beaches," and is ideal for those Who have business in the area as well as for those who seek seclusion.

At every stage of building these and count- less other items were checked and rechecked, evaluated and then evaluated again to make sure that the finished home would "live right."

BROWN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY v You can sense the difference in this Robert C. Brown constructed home that sets a happy mood in your living. But the biggest difference is the interior design which fits the needs of the growing family by performing today with a place for tomorrow's necessities. Realizing that an increasing number of families are faced with the problem of "growing", the builders have incorporated a den with con- necting bath which can become a third bedroom when desired. The cheerful dining area becomes a part of the Florida room and permits that added space so often necessary when entertaining. The living room is characteristic of Florida homes, with an immense picture window permitting the outside landscape to join you inside. The exterior provides long, low lines that offer a sweeping, majestic appearance and the house itself, seems to "grow" naturally from it's structural form. The home though massive and spacious has been designed to afford the owner the minimum maintenance requirements. 24 The two bedroom floor plan with a den allows for a conversion from a two to three bedroom home. The large bedrooms enjoy ample closet space of the sliding door type. There are two baths leading off the bedrooms and a shower stall with connecting bath is installed adjacent to the den. The living room, dining area, and Florida room flow from one to another giving that glorious expanse so necessary in modern interior decoration. Here is a home flexible enough to meet the demands of the most exact- ing purchaser. Living Room: 8' x 16'-8", Florida Room and Dining Room: 20' x 13', Den: 11'-B" x 13', Bedrooms: 13' x 11', 12'-4" x 13', Baths: 5'-6" x 9', 4'-6" x 5'-6", 4'-8" x 3'-9", Utility Room: 11'-8" x 5', Kitchen: 12' x 8'-4", Car Porte: 11'-4" x 20', Porch: 3'-4" x 25'. Robert C. Brown Const. Co. P.O. Box 558 Riviera Beach Prominent among distinguished communities of the nation and the world, rich in history and character, fortunate in location, citadel of southern business and industry — Palm Beach County, the heart of Florida, the sushine state, in- tensely genuine and real — is a livable community flavored with romance .. . purposeful; exciting; quick to recognize ingenuity, valor, and skill. Key to southern Florida, a rich and diversified region and strategically located in southern commerce, industry, finance, and agricultural, Palm Beach County's activities reflect a broad range of occupations and industry. In a com- munity like Palm Beach County it is not practical for any single industry to claim exclusive credit for the phenomenal growth . . . for many industries, organizations, and single individuals have contributed. Whatever major contributions have been made — are being made — have been made as a vivid demonstration of the American Way. Enterprise, compe- tition, and imagination all have been co-ordinated into a single mass effort to achieve a common objective. An objective whose basic premise has always been that the cornerstone of the community is the consideration of its residents. One of the strongest advocates of this premise, one of the outstanding leaders in the development of Palm Beach County is the builder. For it is the building industry that has — and is — sincerely realizing the dream of men like Henry Flagler and Addison Mizner, men whose faith, courage, and vision inspired the development of Palm Beach County. Now, the builders, welded together with suppliers and financial associates into one efficient, co-ordinated group, the Home Builders Association of Palm Beach County, have instigated one of the most important forward steps in the history of Palm Beach County's building program. Seventeen homes — tailored to the needs and tastes of today's active families, designed to present the latest in home improvements, and offered in an idea backdrop for the many outdoor - indoor living features incorporated into each home — the Palm Beach County's 1956 "PARADE OF HOMES," offers the home owner and the prospective home owner an unparalleled opportunity to see what the building industry is doing for them. For all of these homes were built for sale; can be duplicated on other property with desired modification. These are not houses of the future, but homes designed for the average family's needs, conveniences, and budget in mind. Built to allow all families the advantages of the latest in homes, the PARADE OF HOMES offers dramatic evidence of the values of home ownership —values made possible by the growth of the community, values that grow with the community, values that increase with every passing year. 26 I When you buy real estate the house and grounds are what you see .. . but when you "close the deal" the TITLE is what you're paying for. ♦ ♦ Complete up-to-date records, modern methods and equipment maintained for the purpose of giving you accurate and efficient service.

Aluminum awning -type windows are used in the bedrooms, baths and kitchen. Every room in the house has outlets for both heat and air conditioning. The 100,000 BTU automatic gas furnace and the air conditioning unit are located in the extra -large garage with the 40 -gallon auto- matic gas water heater. The garage area is com- pletely finished, with plaster ceiling and walls to insure constant dryness in the storage and utility space. In addition to its spaciousness, the living room in this Cavalier Home features two large windows, from ceiling to floor—a full sweep of air through to the sliding glass doorway entrance to the Florida room. The Mutschler original -design kitchen reveals another touch of sound planning in Cavalier Homes. Mutschler hardwood cabinets and utility drawers are easy to clean and are the last word in design for the effortless kitchen. The ultra -complete all -Westinghouse kitchen equipment is arranged to complement the brick built-in oven, separate top burner unit and auto- matic Westinghouse dishwasher. The vertical (stacked) space -saving clothes washer and dryer are in the kitchen, where research shows that most women want their laundry equipment. Under -the -drain Food Waste Disposer, and king size automatic defrosting Westinghouse refrig- erator complete the equipment for this effortless modern kitchen. K I TCHEM H & D CONSTRUCTION CO., INC. This Cavalier Home follows a contemporary Colonial design, with its old brick and wood exterior, stepped-up roof, and wide overhang, pillared front porch and louver shutters. In the extra -large living room, the west wall of old brick ex- tends solidly from front to rear, ceiling to floor, and provides the basis for imag- inative furniture and picture arrangements. A national magazine spotlights another feature. of this Cavalier model—a bedroom—guest room with its own sliding glass doorway leading to the Florida room. Like other Cavalier Homes, a new high is reached in its structural features, unnoticed by many home buyers. All drains and weather stripping are of copper for long, trouble free service, and aged fir stud- ding is used throughout—eliminating twisting and warping by temperature changes and aging. The roof is cement -tile for extra coolness in the summer. Your Cavalier Home is termite -proofed throughout, and when you take possession of the house you are given an authentic bond issued by a leading termite control organization. HOME 6a F H & D CONSTRUCTION CO., INC A Cavalier Home follows only one pattern—that of designing all integral units to conform to a master plan. This contemporary design follows the long, low profile so often desired, with embellishments seldom seen in houses in this price range. The unusually wide cement -tile roof overhang adds both to its charm and its protection from sun and rain. A brick exterior wall from garage to front door breaks the lined stucco front, which is further enhanced by a decorative wall at one end to balance the bedroom wing. This Cavalier Home features a "step-up" bed- room area off the entrance foyer, for maximum privacy and quiet. The kitchen faces South in the front of the house, with an extra entrance to the garage -utility area. As in other Cavalier Homes, flexibility in furniture arrangement has been kept in mind, and both the living room and all bedrooms are designed with large un- broken wall areas. A CAVALIER HOME The dreams of nearly all women were collected before this Cavalier Home kitchen was designed. It starts with Mutschler hardwood cab- inets and utility drawers, satin smooth and smoothly efficient.

Select hardwood floors are used in the three bedrooms and living area hall- way. Long awning -type windows provide plenty. of light and air, with maximum protection. The master bathroom is unusually large, boasting two basins, tiled tub and shower, and oversize sliding door medicine cabinet and vanity. Abund- ant closet and storage space is the rule through- out the house. The 100,000 BTU automatic gas heating plant, with outlets in every room, assures comfort on coldest days; in every room also are outlets for the efficient air conditioning system. Both heat and air conditioning are located in the oversize garage -utility area with the 40 -gallon automatic gas water heater. Garage is plaster - finished, ceiling and walls.

Selecting a road contractor to do your job must be based on experience and past performance. The Rubin Construction Co. is such an organization ready to serve the Palm Beach area. Naturally, when we were selected to build the roads for the Parade of Homes in the Village of North Palm Beach, we real- ized the confidence placed in our organization. For this we are honored and grateful. Now, with the opening of the 1956 Parade of Homes, a new American community has been brought into being and we are happy that we have been able to be a part of this great undertaking.

Association Means To You You are making an important investment when you purchase a home or if you are having a home custom-built to your own specifications. You are investing more than money, for you want assurance that the houses will stand up under the rigors of time and weather, and that you'll have the structural features you paid for, even though you can't see them. It is important that your builder be experienced, skilled and above all — dependable. Because there are few times in your life when you do business with a home builder, you may hesitate to make a decision because of your lack of construction knowledge. Such home buyers find a friend in the Home Builders Association, whose members are reputable, experienced and highly skilled builders. Associate Members of the Association are those who supply builders with many of the services and sub -contract work which go into your finished home. They too are selected because of their dependability and integrity. When you consult a Builder or Associate member of the Palm Beach County Home Builders Association you are dealing with a firm whose reputation and in- tegrity is unquestioned by his fellow craftsmen and the general public. Yours will be a happy decision if you consult a member of the Home Builders Association when you decide to buy or build your next home. 16 of THE 17 HOMES IN THE "PARADE OF HOMES" WERE FINANCED BY THE WEST PALM BEACH FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION We sincerely hope that this example of partici- pation will serve as a guide to the progressive citizens of the Palm Beaches who are not familiar with many services offered by the West Palm Beach Federal Savings and Loan Association. We are happy for the part that we have been privileged to play in the Home Builders Associa- tion's "Parade of Homes." And would like, as a good friend,, to help and serve you.
