The "505", formerly the Delray Beach Woman's Club, was built in 1957. The Woman's Club offered to share their facility with the City for the development of a Recreation Center focusing on the community's teen population. The Woman's Club continues to hold monthly meetings at the "505" along with the Delray Beach Youth Council who provide input and direction for the activities and programs offered at the newly renovated facility.
