Harriet Himmel Theater

West Palm Beach


The centerpiece of CityPlace is this theater situated in an attractive Mediterranean plaza. The 11,000-sq-ft historic venue hosts a program of live concerts, art exhibitions, fashion shows and high-school proms. Named after its major benefactor, Harriet Himmel, the 1926 building was previously the Methodist Church. It's regarded as one of the largest Colonial Revival structures of its time.
