History:
Historic Jenkins House

Built n 1946, the Jenkins Jouse was home to Dr. Joseph Wiley Jenkins, his wife, Roberta and daughter Ramona. Dr. Jenkins, a well known community activist was very committed to education. Dr. Jenkins was one of the first African-American Pharmacists in the northwest community.

In 1937, Dr. and Mrs. Jenkins opened their own drug store called the Economical Drugstore located on the corner of 4th Street and Rosemary Ave. in West Palm Beach. Dr. Jenkins believed strongly in the value of an education and inspired many to pursue higher education.

In 1966, the Jenkins House was sold to the City of West palm Beach, thereby paving the way for theo run house to be designated a historic site and future home of the Artist sShowcase of the Palm Beaches. On the preview day Mrs. Jenkins commented that she was "really impressed with the reconstruction."
