Maher Building
The Maher Building is a historic building in Vero Beach, Florida. Originally located at 1423 Osceola Boulevard, now 20th Street, the Maher Building housed the Maher department store owned by William J. and Catherine Maher.

On October 28, 1994, this structure was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
