WEST PALM BEACH — One of the oldest churches in Florida, she's graced the slight rise above the Lake Worth Lagoon since 1895.

The Hurricane of 1928 made off with her steeple. And as years passed, a wall of city and county halls, hotels, apartments, and offices grew up around her, isolating her campus from the downtown bustle but framing her soft-spoken charm.

On Monday the city commission took an initial vote to declare St. Ann Catholic Church a local landmark, recognizing an institution that has stood its ground at 310 N. Olive Ave. for as long as West Palm Beach has been a city.

The church's five buildings gained "historic" designation in 2003 but the additional label of "landmark" will entitle the parish and diocese to sell more of its unneeded development rights, to replace the steeple, and restore and improve a property that has withstood more than a century of South Florida heat, wind and salt air.

Monday's vote, though unanimous, did not go as well as the church hoped.

While the church spent three years planning the property's rehabilitation, city staff didn't tell church representatives until Feb. 24 that changes to the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program meant St. Ann could expect far less money from selling its TDR's than it counted on for the project.

The TDR program allows historic buildings whose zoning would allow them to build bigger structures, to instead sell the rights to that unneeded square footage to developers who want to enlarge projects elsewhere downtown. Thirteen churches in downtown West Palm qualify for the program and three have made use of it.

Under the original rules, St. Ann could have made roughly $3.8 million from a TDR sale, which the church planned to use to attract matching donations. But under the revised formula, church officials were disturbed to learn, much less square footage could be sold, potentially bringing only $2.1 million.

Architect Rick Gonzalez, retained by the church, estimated renovations will cost $6 million to $8 million.

This historic early 20th Century Arts and Crafts-style house has exposed rafter ends at the roof eaves and a relatively simple exterior. The house has been modified with replacement vinyl windows, an addition over the porch, and vinyl siding.

Furthermore, the second-floor addition over the porch was probably originally a balcony.

Old St Ann Catholic Church, 310 N Olive Avenue, West Palm Beach, Florida, USA / Built: 1895 / Building Usage:  Parish Office Building

Historic St. Ann Church was dedicated March 15, 1896, on the southeast corner of Rosemary and Datura Streets. In 1902, it was moved to its current location which was donated by Henry M. Flagler and served the Catholic Community until 1913. When the new church was dedicated, the old church was then used as the forerunner of St. Ann School which was built in 1925. St. Ann Church is the oldest Catholic Church and parish in the Diocese of Palm Beach. It was developed by the Fathers of the Society of Jesus.

St. Ann’s has several programs that serve the community.

IX Jesus Falls the Third Time-2464

Saint Ann Catholic Church
475 9th Avenue South, Naples FL

Again, the weight of our sins becomes unbearable and Christ falls to the ground again. The cross becomes massive beyond reality. Christ is so destroyed at this point that He is simply represented as an outline on the floor of the niche. It is difficult for us to comprehend the level of pain and suffering that one can endure as we lead our lives of abundance and leisure.

Historically, the final station shows Christ being laid in His tomb. Chris Scala has chosen to combine this with Christ’s later ascension to heaven. The choice of materials in this sculpture are relative to this meaning. On a molecular scale, all of life on earth is based on carbon - the graphite from which the tomb is carved. If you touch it, a small amount rubs off on your finger. The presence of Christ on earth has sanctified all life - this is shown by the radiant gold that has been ‘absorbed’ by the life (carbon) that surrounded Him.
