The building it is housed in was Boca Raton's original town hall, which began as a commission in 1926 to well-known architect Addison Mizner, designated by the Boca Raton Council as town planner; some of his elegant details have been preserved, together with antiques, some of them Spanish, from his collection.

[3] A small second floor, not currently (2016) open to the public, provided housing for the fire chief.

The Boca Express Train Museum, a few blocks away, is also operated by the Historical Society.
