Hibiscus House

Hibiscus House was built in 1922 by Mayor David Dunkle during the Florida land boom in the heart of Old Northwood— a National Register Historic District in West Palm Beach, FL. Once badly neglected, the home has been lovingly restored and offers elegant surroundings for your comfort both indoors and out.
