Coral Ridge Properties built the city's first real estate office in 1964 at the intersection of Route 441 and Wiles Road just outside the city limits. The 30-by-20-foot single-room wooden structure displayed maps and plats of subdivisions that had not yet been built. In 1966, after Coral Ridge Properties built a large administration building at 9551 Sample Road, the company offered the real estate office to the city if it was moved. Relocated to 4500 Woodside Drive, it became Coral Springs' first administration building, then in 1968 its first police station. After the police moved to a larger facility in 1972, the building became the Jaycees clubhouse. By 1976 it was considered obsolete and moved to the city dump for use as a fire department training facility for smoke drills. After it was accidentally set on fire, concerned citizens formed the Landmark Restoration Committee to rescue and restore it for use as a museum. In 1977 the building was moved again, this time in a parade on a flatbed truck to its permanent home in Mullins Park, and on March 4, 1978, it was fully restored and opened as the Mini Museum.
