The Gulf Steam Hotel has been the most visible landmark of the City of Lake Worth Beach since the Great Florida Land Boom of the 1920s up until the present. As an active presence or a passive promise, it has functioned as an important barometer of the City's vitality and values - regarding the balance between growth and preservation. As it approaches its one-hundredth anniversary -- and the possibility of its ninth life, examining the history of the Gulf Stream Hotel and its role in the community provides an important context for understanding the history of our community.
