10924348067?profile=RESIZE_710xDorothy Taylor (in front row) was recognized for her 100th birthday during a Town Commission meeting. Taylor, a nurse, was divorced when she moved to Florida from Illinois with her daughter in the 1960s. She became one of the first single women in Palm Beach County to apply for a permit to build a single-family home. She fought for a construction loan from the banks and to find an architect and contractor who took her plans seriously for her Ocean Ridge home, which was completed in 1969.
