We wish to thank the individuals, civic and charitable organizations, foundations and tenants in the Paramount who have offered to help as a result of the recent articles in the Palm Beach Daily News and The Palm Beach Post.
We are committed to preserving the Paramount and complying with the recent Landmarks Preservation Commission mandate requiring restoration of the deck railings, which to date has been estimated to cost $389,000.

Shame on filthy wealthy Palm Beach.
They should know better.
Betweeen the Paramount Palm Beach, the Gusman/Olympia downtown Miami, and the Lincoln Miami Beach, three more cases of South Florida being quick to dispose of heritage.
Well said, possible to be very wealthy and have no sense of taste, or any regard for the very limited historical heritage of a district.
Whatever excuse might apply in cash strapped rustbelt towns does not apply here. Shame indeed.
Sounds like BeverlyHills!
