The Palm Beach Building, above and below, was located on the East side of Washington Street between 5th & 6th Streets. Originally constructed around 1883 for the Deuber-Hampden Watch Company, the building was torn down in 1988 and is now a parking lot. The building had several tenants over its 100+ years. Deuber-Hampden vacated the property in 1891 after the owner ran into financial difficulties. The property was then purchased by The Standard Carriage Goods Company, a manufacturer of carriage hardware and leather trimmings. In 1897, the Standard Carriage Company was purchased by the Higgins Manufacturing Company, who continued to produce carriage equipment and leather goods. In later years, the Higgins Manufacturing Company produced metal screens for doors and windows. In 1946, the Goodall Company took over the building and used it produce mens and women's clothing. In 1965, the Goodall Company changed their name to the Palm Beach Company and occupied the building until its demise. text from Facebook post by Old Photos of Newport
