ADMINISTRATIVE FACILITY

The first town hall was a mobile home, later to be succeeded in 1980 by a converted home (dubbed the Kelly Building in honor of Alfred Kelly, Hypoluxo's mayor from 1978 to 1984). The present Town Hall was dedicated in 1996 and contains a spacious Council Chamber, a conference room, and offices for the Mayor, Town Clerk, and Building Department. The Town Hall's architecture is in the Key West style.

HAMMOCK

Hypoluxo Hammock is located on the grounds of the Town Hall. It was designed with four goals in mind: Recreate the site as it would have looked 100 years ago to the Barefoot Mailman as he began his trek to Miami. Create a coastal hammock which was so common to this particular area before housing development and the introduction of so many exotic and destructive plant species. Use only native species that after an initial 6 month establishment period would require no further irrigation or fertilizer other than what nature provides. Incorporate a drainage design that would retain nearly 100% of the entire site's rain run-off. Hypoluxo Hammock was designed by Hypoluxo Town Councilman Mark Hull and Richard Moyroud of Mesozoic Landscapes. The park was dedicated on March 9, 1996.
