A Standard Oil gas station built around 1949 on this site became Juno Beach's first Town Hall in 1961, when the population was approximately 250. The town leased the building for $1 per year until it took ownership in 1974, after three neighboring condominiums purchased the property from Standard Oil for $65,000 to help ensure it would remain a town hall for at least ten more years and then sold it to the town for $35,000. The front left of the former gas station was extended to make room for the Town Commission table in the space where cars had parked for gas. The Town Commission and Council used the building for meetings and staff offices until 1991, when the present Town Center was built, and by then the population had grown to more than 2,000. The Town Hall was demolished in 1992.
