The Mickens House is a historic house located in West Palm Beach, Florida. It is locally significant as one of the oldest surviving residences in West Palm Beach.

Description and history

The building is basically an American four square in plan and design. Distinguishing features include a front porch which spans the first floor of the main elevation and the awnings which shield each window opening and the porch.

The house was the residence of Haley and Alice Mickens. It was a meeting place for Black civil rights leaders, scholars, and entertainers, including Ralph Bunche, A. Philip Randolph, Mary McLeod Bethune, and Louis Armstrong.[1][2]

On April 11, 1985, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It is also a contributing property to the Northwest Historic District.
