The Historic Building Survey Records contains two copies of the finalized complete findings of the 1979 Historic Buildings Survey of Palm Beach, Florida conducted by Landmarks Planning, Inc., and one preliminary copy, compiled and submitted to the Landmarks Preservation Commission for the Town of Palm Beach in 1981. These records include a summary of findings, with the methodology of the survey, and recommendations for designations for the National Register of Historic Places and in accordance with Palm Beach Ordinance 1-79, as well as information on easements, tax exemption, education, and adaptive reuse for the buildings identified in the survey. Florida Master Site File Site Inventory Forms were authored by Architectural Historian Walter C. Kidney with Landmarks Planning, Inc. The survey listed 866 recorded buildings and man-made landscape features, 606 of which pre-dated 1931. Information within the Site Inventory Forms include street address, name of property, architectural history, architectural description, plat information, and a statement of significance. Appendix C, Survey Manual, is missing from all copies, and there is a note on the title page stating that "Sufficient copies of the Survey Manual were not available to include one in each copy of this report."
