The original
landscaping plans indicate some thought
went into the placement of shade and
ornamental palm trees. However, few,
if any of these trees remain standing
sixty-five years later. Some healthy
trees and shrubs do thrive, despite
the lack of irrigation.
Dunbar Campus
The “Dunbar
Campus” includes the Administrative
Offices, the Career
Development Center, a Child Care
Center, Housing
Programs offices, and a multipurpose
conference room.
Dunbar Village
is the largest single parcel of land
within the Coleman
Park subdivision of West Palm
Beach, and sits at the center of the
neighborhood. Coleman Park is easily
defined and is bounded by Palm Beach
Lakes Blvd. to the south, the FEC
railroad to the west, 23rd Street
to the north, and the CSX railroad
to the east. The CSX railway yard,
and the corresponding light industrial
uses continue to be active on the
eastern edge. Tamarind Avenue bisects
the neighborhood as a neighborhood
commercial corridor. |
