HEISENBOTTTE AR~HITECT~, P.A. December 5, 2008 WEST SETTLERS I~ISTORIC DISTRICT ffiSTORIC SURVEY REPORT INTRODUCTION The City of Delray Beach has retained the firm of R.J. Heisenbottle Architects, P.A. (RJHA} to resurvey four areas within the city previously listed an the Zocal Register of Historic Places as Historic Districts. The four areas to be studied are Del-ida Park, Nassau Park, Old School Square, and West Settlers Histazic District. RJHA's task will be to prepare individual. Survey Reports for each of the four historic districts. These survey reports will include the following information: + Historical overview of the district. + Review existing criteria for determining contributing and non-contributing structures. Recommendations on extending Periods of Significance, where appropriate, within the district. • Update Florida Master Site File forms for previously recorded structures. • Prepare new Florida Master Site File forms for previously unrecorded structures • Prepare maps and photographs for all sites within the district. These surveys are reviewing all structures located within the locally designated historic districts that are thirty five X35) years or alder. Information on structures currently listed is being updated, noting any alterations, relocations and demolitions since the time that the Designation Report was originally prepared. Structures not previously listed, that meet the 35 year ar older criteria and that are deemed "contributing" to the historic district, are being added to the Florida Master Site File and are being recommended for inclusion in the Local Register of Historic Places' Historic District Designation Report. To date, RJHA .has completed work on the Nassau Park historic District and on the Old School Sic uare Historic Arts District. The West Settlers Historic District Survey Report will provide information on those items outlined above, based on field wank, research conducted on City records, including building cards and permits, Sanborn map records available at the ,Delray Beach Planning and Zoning Depar~nent, existing historical publications and on historical research conducted at the Delray Beach Historical Society. The West Settlers Historic District was listed on the Local Register of Historic Places in 199"7. As the Designation Report states, "...the district should be assessed for its historical significance which perhaps weighs more heavily than its architectural importance". It would be fair to say that although, as the Designation Report goes on to say, "...many of the structures rank law in the history of architectural achievement", the 2 buildings do comprise a good representative cross section of the architectural types found within the area in general, and present a good timeline of the historical development of this early African American settlement in Delray Beach. Many of the significant historic structures have perished in recent years, victims of development and of demolition-by- neglect, some even after the historic district designation was put in place. These losses to the visual and historical fabric of the neighborhood further reinforce the signif eance of the remaining ones, even when their numbers continue to diminish, BOUNDARIES (See Attachment A: Historlc District Map) The West Settlers Historic District boundaries, as designated in 1997, are as follows: • Martin Luther Icing, 7r. Boulevard (N.W, 2~ Street) to the north, then, • The a11ey running north-south in Block 43, between N.W, 2nd and 3rd Avenues, then, • N.W. l~r Street, running west from said alley in Block 43, to N,W, 3'd Avenue, then, • N.W. 3rd Avenue, running south to east-west alley between N.W. l~r Street and Atlantic Avenue, then, • The east-west alley between N.W. l~r Street and Atlantic Avenue as the southern boundary, then, • N.W, Sa' Avenue running north to the south properly line of Lot l3, Block 20, then, • The south property line of Lot 13, Block 2t) to the alley running north-south between N,W. Sa' and bd' Avenues, then, • The alley running north-south between N,W. Srt, and 6a' Avenues northerly to Martin Luther Icing, Jr. Boulevard {N.W, 2nd Street}. NEW BOUNDARY' RECOMIYIENDATIONS (See Attachment A) The historic district's southern boundary has undergone significant erosion of its historic fabric to merit justifiable inclusion within the current boundary delineation. The southeastern-most block was akeady vacant at the time of designation. Although sometimes vacant property maybe included within district boundaries as a mechanism to allow for review of future infill construction, in this case that block has already been developed and is currently occupied by the Atlantic Grove Townhouses. Similarly, the southwest corner of the district, an the west side of N.W. 5~' Avenue between Atlantic Avenue and N.W. 1 ~r Street, immediately north of the Fire Station, contains only vacant land and non-contributing structures. Removing this comer from the district boundaries increases the overall density of contributing structures within the redefined boundaries. In this particular case, though, the City may want to retain this comer within the district in order to have review authority aver new inf~ll construction. 3 The original northern physical boundary was defined during segregation days in the 1950s by the construction of a wall that separated the black and white residential areas just to the north of present day Lake-Ida Road {N.W. 4~ Street}. This wall is still in evidence at the northern edge of Boy Scouts Park, on the north side of Lake-Ida Road. As part of preparing this report, RJHA studied the possibility of expanding the northern boundary of the West Settlers Historic District to this historic edge. Although there are several contributing structures located within this potential expansion area, their number and density is not sufficient to justify the district's expansion. In fact, the ratio of contributing to non-contributing structures would be low enough that it would hurt the overall integrity ofthe district as presently designated. The presence of the wall, unsavory as it may be, is a strong reminder of a historical period in the development of the West Settlers Historic District, and should be memorialized either through historic designation ar through placement of a historical marker. Segregation Uays Dividing Wall CCJIti~7[ZXT The West Settlers Historic District is located just to the northwest of downtown Delray Beach, a small enclave that speaks of the days of segregation when Americans of African descent were restricted to live and do business within the confines of their own community. Originally it was the site of an early African-American settlement that zivaled the early days of the town of Linton in the resourcefulness of its residents in getting an agricultural industry, along with a public school, religious and social institutions established. It included a series of neighborhoods named after physical characteristics of their respective areas, such as The Sands and Pzog Alley {See Historical Significance below}. During the segregation days of the 19SOs, its boundazies were more 4 clearly defined, as its residents were not allowed to live or shop east of Swinton Avenue or north of N. W. 4th Street. After segregation, many of the early housing stock and businesses fell into decline, as the residents were able to move about anywhere within the city limits. The neighborhood, however, never lost its identity or its cohesiveness, as new apartment buildings went up, and the old commercial establishments such as grocery stores, barber shops and other "ma-n-pa" operations continued to provide basic services and livelihood to the residents. AISTURICAL SIGNIFICANCE It was 1894 when a confluence of factors resulted in the establishment of both the black and white settlements that eventually would become Delray Beach. That year, William S. Linton, LT.S. Congressman from Saginaw, Michigan, purchased 160 acres of land in the area we know today as Dekay Beach from the original homesteader, Captain Geoxge Gleason. Mr. Linton„ encouraged by the development opportunities that Henry M. Flagler's extension of the Florida East Coast Railway and his Model Land Company brought to the South Florida area, started a settlement, along with a group he recruited in Michigan, recorded the town plat and named the town after himself But soon after, when a hard freeze devastated the local crops, Mr, Linton fell on hard times and defaulted on his land payments. Some of the early settlers left, while W.W. Blackmer rallied those who remained and renamed the town Dekay, after a section in his hometown of Detroit, Michigan. During the same year of 1894, a small group of African-American families from the Florida Panhandle, led by Fagen Henry and his wife Jane, purchased land from Henry Flagler's Model Land Company and settled in the area just to the west of the Linton settlement. That geographic location marks the origins of the name West Settlers Historic District. Soon these families began farming the land and by i 895 they had harvested their first winter crop. The settlement grew, as more Americans of African descent were attracted by the opportunity to buy land that could be cultivated for cash crops and by employment that the railroad and the nearby white settleroent known as the Town of Linton provided. Different neighborhoods arose-the Sands in the Central area, Frog Alley, Red Line and Hanna Town among them. Along with the expansion of the settlement came a growth in educational, religious and social institutions, In 1895 the settlers petitioned the County School Board to establish a school for their children. The site of the original school house has been memorialized by a small park, located at N.W. Stt, Avenue between Atlantic Avenue and N.W, 1st Street, and is listed in the Local Register of Historic Places. In 1$96 the Mount Olive Baptist Church congregation purchased land from the Model Land Company's land set-aside program for cultural and xeligiaus organizations for $1.25 and began construction of their first church. Although the original church na longer stands, the congregation built a new facility in 1957, which has been renovated and expanded over the years. The present day church retains its original location at 40 N.W, 4a' ,Avenue. _ ~ ~` 3 -, _ ~ -~ `_ ~~ =~ .~ ~ _ a - r.. _, x ~-...,,~ ~ _ ~ ~... «s ~ ~ - rr }} - -~ Mount fllave $aptist Church New Church, Carca 1929 New Church, Cares 1957 Renovated Church, 1993 Similarly, the St. Paul .African American Methodist Episcopal Church, originally established as Mt. Tabor in 1897, was orgatuzed in 1899. The first church was canstructed in its present site at 119 N.W. 5~' Avenue in 1911 and seriously damaged by the 1928 hurricane, The original structure still stands at that location, after several renovations and additions over the years. ~Y: Paul Afracars Methodist.Epascopal Chureh Another important institution during the early days of the settlement was the Free and Accepted Masonic Lodge 275, established in 1$99. Their original building, constructed in 1904 at 85 N.W. 5~ Avenue, na longer stands. 'The present structure, still at the anginal site, was built in 19'78. Along with these early institutions, a number of prominent individuals from the community cantributed to the development of the West Settlers Historic District and of Delray Beach in general: 6 William Robinson moved from South Carolina to Delray Beach in 1901. Starting as a share cropper, he soon purchased and began cultivation an his awn land at the northeast corner of N.W. l~` Street and 4tb Avenue. By 1904 he had built his own house on the property, currently at 317 N.W. 15~ Street and had acquired additional farm land west of town. His knowledge of farming and house building both continued to grow. He was asked to build houses for neighbors, while he expanded and improved his own home. His house, in fact, was the first one in the community to have electricity and running water, and later a telephone. In the 1920s he enlarged a room in the northwest corner of the house and converted it into a grocery store, which he and his wife Essie ran. The Robinson house was an important center for social life in the conununity, and because of its sturdy construction, served as a Red Cross shelter during hurricanes, In 1916 he built a packing house to serve his farming business adjacent to his house. Located at 315 N.W. ls~ Street, the structure still stands, currently used as a residence. `~, ~~-4-~- "_ ~ ._- _ ~~ ~ --~s F3'illiam Rabinsur~'s XXouse Issaiah Bruin came to Delray Beach from Quincy, Florida in 1909. Soon after, he married Martha Galdwire, also from Quincy, and had a daughter named Letha. He distinguished himself as a carpenter and builder. hounder and Deacon of the Primitive Baptist Church, he was responsible for all the woodwork of the church, constructed in 1920 and no longer standing. Many of the early structures in the community are attributed to Isaiah Bruin, among them the Nelson House, at 125 N.W. 3~ Avenue, and the Susan Williams Rouse, originally at 30 N.W. 3'~ Avenue, relocated to 154 N.W. 5#~' Avenue. Nelson House (Built by Issaiah Bruin) Susan FT'illiarns House (Built by Bruin) .t.23 N W. 3'd Avenue X 54 N W. S'~ Avenue Solomon David Spady was one of the most influential educators in Delray Beach for over 35 years. Mr. Spady came to Delray Beach in 1922 as the third African-American public school principal and teacher assigned to the area. Originally from Northampton County, Virginia, he came to Delray Beach as principal of Delray County Training School, originally known as Delray Colored School Number 4, the first school founded in 1895 in the community. His assignment to Delray Beach came upon recommendation froth Booker T, Washington, founder and president of Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. According to a biographical sketch provided by the Spady Cultural Heritage Museum, "His plans trained students so that upon their graduation they were able to excel in outstanding institutions of higher learning ... He organized extra-curricular activities to include a drama club, two literary societies, a glee club, sports teams, a parent teacher association, and at least three entertainments that brought the community together through the school". Mr. Spady passed away in 1967 at age 82. He was awarded the "Great Floridians Unsung Hero Award" posthumously in the year 2000. Soloman Spady .House. 8 Charles 4~Villiam Patrick, Jr. and his wife I~ranceuia were among the most prominent, best loved figures in the Delray Beach African-American community. Together they owned and operated the I,a France Hotel, the only hotel in Delray Beach catering to blacks, during the segregation years when African-Americans were not allowed in any of the local hotels. Charlie, as he was popularly known, was born in Social Circle, Georgia, sometime between. 1908 and 1910, according to varying family recollections, to a family of farm hands, descendants of slaves. In the early 1920s Charlie moved to the Boynton Beach area in Florida. In 1925, at the height of the Florida real estate boom, the rest of his family joined him and they settled in Boynton beach, a predominantly rural area at the time, pretty much similar to the one tl~y had left behind in Georgia. Charlie was kind and loving, according to family accounts, and helped the family members, including his parents and nine siblings to find jobs in the area. By 1926, when Charlie was just l7 years old, he married his first wife, Eva Collins and soon after set up his own dry cleaning business in Boyntan Beach. A year later his mother died, and it was up to him and his father to care for the rest of the children, all under age 14. By the 1930s, during the height of the Great Depression, Charlie had divorced his first wife, fallen in love and remarried to Francenia (Frankie} Johnson, an elementary school teacher and recent college graduate from Bethune-Cookman in Daytona Beach. Charlie in the meantime, continued to struggle, running a beer hall at night and driving a school bus during ~e day. Tn 1943 he enlisted in the army and served during World War Il. Upon his return, he decided to build a hotel to cater to African-American waiters, chauffers and others in the service industry who came to Delray Beach and were not allowed to stay in segregated hotels. Charlie and Frankie bought three lots in Delray Beach for $1,7{l0, and began work. on their new venture. ,l~u France .Hotel The 16-room La France Hotel, designed by locally prominent architect l~enneth Jacobson and built by contractor Jay Callaway, was completed in 1949. its name was derived from Frankie's cousin Lola ("La"} Johnson and Franceni a ("France"}, not having 9 anything to do with the country of France, as most people believe. The hotel became a big success, as one of the few establishments in South Florida that welcomed an African- American clientele. During the 1954s and 1964s when traveling musicians and entertainers performed in South Florida, they were not allowed to stay at segregated hotels, but rather had tti be either put up by local families, sleep on the beach and face possible arrest or get back on the bus to their next destination. The I.a France Hotel provided a major service to guests that included we11 known entertainers, professionals and many in the service industry. More than a place to stay, it was a social center where entertainers gathered after they finished performing for the evening and would stay up until late eating, drinking, playing cards and catching up with old friends and new acquaintances. It also served as a social center, basting a variety of events through the years. The contribution of Charlie and Frankie Patrick to the African-American community during the difficult days of segregation is of major historical significance, As the hotel prospered, so did the Patrick family. Charlie Patrick owned a gas station, commercial and office buildings az~d two pool halls in the neighborhood. During the post-segregation days of the 1970s, the hotel started a downward spiral. African-Americans could now stay and chap where they chase and the clientele dwindled. The hotel became a roaming pause and fell into disrepair, In 2U45 the La France Hotel was restored and expanded. The new complex, now awned by the Community Redevelopment Agency, has been returned to its former glary and now operates as apartments far senior citizens. Today the area is a mixed bag of residential, commercial, religious and social activity, some of its buildings in disrepair, others recently restored or on their way back, thanks to the involvement of programs such as Gomrnunity Revitalization Agency {CRA} and to the commitment.and dedication of organizations such as the Expanding 8c Preserving C?ur Cultural Heritage, bnc. {EPI~CH}, Although many of the early structures have been lost, the sense of neighborhood and the physical roots of the community remain quite strong. The revitalization efforts of government and non-profit organizations, such as those named above, paint to a brighter future towards the preservation of the West Settlers Historic 1istrict. ARCHI`X'ECTIIRA1v.~ SIGNIFICANCE The West Settlers Historic District is mostly distinguished far its historical significance, not for its architectural significance. The structures which have survived the passage of time, ravages of storms and lack of maintenance for the most part reflect the simple, modest means of its launders and residents. There is, however, a good cross section of 10 architectural styles, materials and construction methods representative of more than a century since the community was established. The earliest and most prevalent building type found are the Frame 'Vernacular houses, with pier foundations, wood siding and low to medium pitch gable roofs generally covered in composition shingles. The use of front porches is one of the most common threads among these early houses, Some of the early vernacular structures were later built in or modified to include Bungalow details, especially incorporating the two-part battered porch supports characteristic of this building type. _ S,It ~ ,,f = c. _._ Susan WilliamsonlAgnes Munnings Bouse (.Frame Vernacular with Bungalow porch) The Mission style, popular in the 1920s, is best represented in the West Settlers Historic District by the Spady House, located at 170 N.W. 5~' Avenue, recently restored under the ownership and auspices of the Community Redevelopment Agency, and Name to the Spady Cultural Heritage Museum. The two story structure {photo shown under the Historical Significance Section} is a fine example of the Mission style, with its textured stucco finish, simple lines, flat roof and molded parapets, 11 12U N.W. 4`h Avenue (Frame Vernacular) 13.3 N. W. ~ Avenue (Frame Vernacular) Even a simple, late version of Art Deco/Streamline Moderns can be found in the district in the 1946 Careen lnn Bui]ding, located at 53 N.W. Sa' Avenue. This structure has the massing and clean lines of the Modems style, the stepped central parapet inspired by the earlier Art Deco style and glass black covered openings (the latter probably not original). Green rnn Building (.Art DecvlStreumiixe Mdderne rn, fluence) There are several examples of the Ranch Style, popular in the 1950s.The borne that Charlie and Frankie Patrick built in 1960, adjacent to the I.a France Hotel, is a fine example of this past World War II style that took America by storm. The structure has the typical low-slung horizontal lines, low pitched gable roof and the garage which in this case opens to the side and is decorated with perforated concrete blacks. Considered a luxury home for the neighborhood, it boasted a large swimming pool with a platform diving board which became a focal paint of gathering and entertainment for the local youth. ~, _ - 4 -~ _ :~ - ~ ~t _ -~-~ ,? ~ 'r The Patrick Family House (hunch Style) 12 Another example typifying relatively more affluent times in the West Settlers Historic District is the Ola Vickers House, located at 220 N.W. ~°d Street. This Frame Vernacular stzucture, built in 1948 with a marked Cape Cod influence, has a steeply pitched gable roof, central chimney and symmetrical dormers. hits scale and classical elegance are aesthetically a few steps up from the humble beginnings of other residential structures in the neighborhood. Ola Yckers House Cape Cnd Vernacular) PERXt)D OF SIGNIFICANCE One of the objectives of the Dehay Beach "Resurvey of Four Local Register Historic Districts" project is to assess the feasibility of expanding the current Period of Significance. Structures thirty five {3S} years or older will be recorded in the Florida Master Site File, so that the information contained in the State's database will be not only current but actually ahead of the SO threshold for historic consideration. This does not mean that structures that are 35 to SO years old will automatically be deemed contributing, but rather they will be reviewed an a case by-case basis far possible eligibility. The West Settlers Historic District Designation Report, approved in 199?, places the Period of Significance by which structures are to be evaluated at 1947.The cut-off date is based in the generally accepted 50 year old threshold for considering eligibility of structures for listing as "contributing" within a designated historic district. in terms of historical and architectural development, it is difficult to justify this date under any other criteria than the 50 year threshold. The 1954s through the 1970s were a significant period in history in the community. The post World War Tl era saw a marked population increase in Delray Beach, and a resulting 13 expansion in business and tourism. While the 1954s period of segregation isolated this neighborhood from the rest of the city, it solidified the community and made it stronger from within. The brief history of the La France Hotel, as previously recounted, is proof of the importance of these years in the development of the West Settlers Historic District. The Natal became the center of social life for the local community and attracted visiting professionals and entertainers who found a welcome "home away from borne", 'The concentration of business, social, religious and educational activities that was farted to remain within the neighborhood limits had a positive effect in the economics of the area. 'This is evidenced in much of the housing stock from this period, when more substantial structures, such as the previously mentioned Patrick and Vickers family residences were built. With the end of the segregation era in the 1974s residents from the West Settlers area began moving out and shopping elsewhere. Commercial activity declined and the neighborhood lost some of its earlier liveliness, although it continued as a strong center of life of the local African-American community. Palm Beach County schools were integrated in 1969, marking the end of the segregation era, and providing our study with a tangible milestone to redefine the Period of Significance for the West Settlers Historic Iistrict. Based on the above cited historical milestones, it is our recommendation to extend the Period of Significance to 19711. R)~EYALYIATION OF CONTRIBUTING STRC.ICT'TIRES This report has updated and re-evaluated the "District Inventory" provided as part of the 1997 Designation Report. Fallowing is a summary of our re-evaluation; 2408 Survey 1997 Inventory • Contributing structures 22 23 • Nan-contributing structures 25 34 • Demolished structures 6 0 • Total structures surveyed 53 S3 Five structures previously evaluated as "non-contributing" have been re-evaluated as "contributing" This re-evaluation is based an extending the "Fefiad of Significance" from 1947 to 1974, as previously indicated. New Florida Master Site File forms have been prepared far these structures. {?ne of the contributing structures, the MunningslWilliamson Cottage, was relocated from 34 N.W. ~'~ Avenue to l64 N.W. Sty` Avenue where it will be restored and became part of the Spady Cultural Center. 14 Mount Olive Baptist Church, located at 40 N.W. 4tti Street, and St. Paul A.M.E_ Church, at 119 N.W. Ss' Avenue, have been re-evaluated as "contributing" under the recommended extended "Period of Significance". This re-evaluation was based on their historical significance and ongoing contribution to the community's religious, educational and social life since the early days of pioneer settlement. The park located an N.W. Sth Avenue just south of the Mount Olive Church property has been evaluated as "cantn'buting", due to its historical significance as the site of the first school, organized in 1895. Masonic Lodge #275, located at 85 N.W. Sth Avenue, has been evaluated as "non- contributing" due to its 1978 date of construction, even though the organization is historically significant and has occupied the site since 1899. IYATI4NAL REGIaSTER ELIGIBILITY "The La France Hotel, at 144 N.W. 4~` Avenue, is potentially eligible far listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criteria A for its historical significance and great contribution to the community during the days of segregation. It would also be eligible under Criteria B far its association with the Patrick family. Although the building was recently enlarged by a substantial addition, the original portion of the structure was sympathetically rehabilitated and should be eligible in spite of the addition. The Spady House, at 170 N.W. 5th Avenue is also potentially eligible for National Register listing. Eligibility is based bath an its historical significance under Criteria A and B, and an architectural significance under Criteria C as a unique example of the Mission Style, substantial size and prominence among the more modest strictures during that period in the district. It is recommended that bath structures be nominated to the Nationat Register of Historic Places. `I he William Robinson House, at 317 N.W. 1st Street may be potentially eligible far National Register listing far its historical and architectural significance under Criteria A, Band C, but the substantial alterations it has undergone over the years Wray hinder its eligibility. National Register Historic District nomination far the West Settlers Historic I?istrict is not recommended at this time due tc} the number of "non-contributing" structures within the local district boundaries. 15 FLORIDA MASTER SITE FILES Florida Master Site File forces have been updated for all "contributing" structures. New FMSF forms have been prepared for structures previously evaluated as "non- contributing" The following structures will be submitted for addition to the lj'MSF and new numbers will be requested for them: • Robinson's Packing House. 315 N.W. 1 Street * 21~ N.W. 2 Street * Mount Olive Baptist Church. 40 N.W. 4a' Avenue • 10"7 N.W. 4`~ Avenue • 124 N.W. 4tb Avenue 131 N.W. 4tb Avenue • St. Paul A.M.E. Church. 119 N.W. 5'r' Avenue • Patrick Family House. 400 S.W. 2"d Street. SUMIVIARY RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the West Settlers Historic District local designation be amended to reflect the fallowing: • Amend the Boundaries as proposed in the Boundaries Section, and shown on the "Historic District Map" in Appendix A. The City, however, may want to take into consideration retaining the present southwestern corner boundary in order to keep review authority over future infill construction in that particular area. • Extend the Period of Signcficanee to 1970 to coincide with the end of the segregation era in Delray Beach. Amend the Inventory reflect the new updates on "Contributing", "Non- contributing" and "Demolished" structures as shown on the "List of Surveyed Resources" in Appendix B. * Prepare National Register Nomination Proposals for the La France Hotel and the Spady House. + Consider local historic designation or historic marker for the r~vall north of N.W. 4eb Street that once defined the northern edge of where African American families were allowed to live. The West Settlers Historic District is eat particularly remarkable far containing structures of major architectural significance and its ratio of "contributing" to "non-contributing" structures is not very strong. The district's historical significance, though, is indisputable. 16 The pride and identity of its present residents and those descendents of the pioneer settlers is quite evident. This is a neighborhood that speaks eloquently of its past, its struggles and its triumphs. Its story needs to be told for future generations to never lose track of where it all started for them. This story needs to be told in written accounts, but mast importantly through the preservation of the remaining physical fabric of the West Settler Historic District. tJURCES + Florida Master Site Files.

BACt~GROUND The City hired RJ Heisenbottle Architects, Inc. to conduct a sunray of the Del-Ida Park, Nassau Park, Old School Square, and West Settlers Historic Districts from July 2048 -January 24{l9. The objective was to survey all properties developed at least thirty-five years ago within each of the aforementioned districts and to identify those which contain both contributing and non-contributing buildings and structures. A historical overview of each area was provided in the final survey report, which was reviewed by the City Commission at its workshop on February 14, 2409. The final survey report to be adopted is for the West Settlers Historic District. The attached Ordinance incorporates the following recommendations: i t~rdin~~ce 1 `r_qg, tN~st 5e~ilers f~listoric ~€3istrsc£ R~~.isvey HPP r~1~;~:ting April 1 a, 2~t1~; Page 2 of 7 • That the Period of Significance (POS} be expanded to 197x, which would reclassify 6 properties from non-contributing to contributing_ The current PQS spans through to 1947. See Exhibit A for those properties recommended for reclassification. • That the southern boundary be amended by removing the Atlantic Grove development; and, • That listing on the National Register of Historic Places is sought for the La France Hotel and SD Spady House properties, Fallowing are details regarding the Period of Significance, the southem boundary amendment, and listing on the National Register of Historic Places: Period of Significance A recommendation to extend the POS to 197t} has been justified in that it coincides with the end of the segregation era in Delray Beach. This affected the area as it began to change as residents moved elsewhere within the city. The report notes that the West Settlers neighborhood "never lost its identify or its cohesiveness during this period, as new apartment buildings went up, and the commercial establishments,.,continued to provide basic services and .livelihood to the residents" that remained behind, The report further explains that the district is "mostly distinguished for its historical significance, rather than its architectural significance." The PQS extension would affect the classification of 6 properties currently deemed non-contributing, which were constructed from 1948-196(}, Removal of Designation (southem Boundary Amendment} The final survey report notes that "the historic district's southern boundary has undergone significant erosion of its historic fabric". The district likely benefitted from the HPB°s review and approval of the infill development,, referred as the Atlantic Grove development, However, it is not historically significant, and has already been redeveloped, warranting its removal. This is further explained in the final survey report for the West Settlers Historic District. National Register of Historic Places {NRHP} The report recommends the listing of the La France Hotel and the SD Spady House on the National Register of Historic Places, which would provide additional recognition for each property, as well as the West settlers Historic District. It should be noted that additional review criteria or restrictions would not be placed on those properties via this designation, Ordinance 17-09 includes Attachment A, the Final Survey Report for the West Settlers Historic District, and Attachment B, which notes each surveyed property and its date of construction, historic classification, and architectural style, Consideration of Ordinance 17-09 is now before the Board for review and recommendation to the City Commission. -` ___ ANALYSIS Pursuant to LE?R Section 2.2.6{A}, a Nisforic Preservation Board for the City of Delray Beach is hereby created.

Pursuant to LDR Section 2,2.6{D}{2}: Duties, Powers, and Responsibiilities, the Historic Preservation Board shall nominafe properties for designation, and regulate such properties, structures, buildings, sites, districts, and fhe like so designated as historic sites andlor historic districts. STAFF COMMENT: The L©Rs specify that as part of the HPB duties, the Board shall protect historic resources, and update surveys of historic resources. The resurvey of the West Settlers Historic District complies with this requirement. CHANGE OF HISTORIC Ci..ASSiFICATION i_DR Section 4.5.1{N}, Criteria for Change of Historic Ciassifcation (1} A survey of all historic districts may be conducted by fhe Gify every five (5) years. The survey report may recommend changes to the historic designation andlor classification of properties located within or immediately adjacent to a designated historic district. {b) Criteria far Change of Historic Ciassificatian: if aCity-initiated survey conducted within fhe last five (5) years reveals that a property within a historic district should be reclassified as either contributing or non-contributing, then the classification may be revised in accordance with LLR Section 4.5, 9(C?) and shall be determined as follows. 1. The survey recommends the inclusion of an additional "Perr'ad of Significance ; which would reclassify properties from non-contribufing to confribufing, or; 2. The survey recommends that a property or properties have been so significantly altered that fhe changes are irreversible and haue compromised the structures historic integrity of the structure, which would reclassify fhe structure from contributing to non-canfrr'bufing. STAFF COMMENT: The subject survey meets the criteria for change of historic classification as it was conducted within the last ~ years {complete January 20(}9), and the survey recx3mmends that the Period of Significance be adopted which would reclassify 6 properties from non-contributing to contributing. Therefore, the reclass~cation of the properties listed in Exhibit A may be reviewed. i_DR Section 4.5.1{O}, Procedures for Change of Historic Designation andlor Classification {2} Procedures for Chance of Historic Classification: Applications fo change fhe historic classification of a property ar properties within a historic districf shall be made to the Historic Preservation Board and maybe initiated by written request of.• {a} The Hisfar9c Preservation Board based upon the recommendations of a Gity-initiafed survey completed within five (5) years prior to the application; ar {b) The Gity Commission based upon fhe recommendations of a Gify-initiated survey completed within five (5) years prior fa fhe application; ar (3) The Planning and Zoning ©irector or hislher designee sha11 conduct a preliminary evaluation of fhe infornaafian provided an each application to defermine if it generally conforms wifh 4 t Urdin~n~ 'f 7-t}9; 41~esf ~eitlers t-Iist~riCpDistrtct l~esur~ey Ni~H Meeting A~iril '15.2~Q9; Page ~ of ~ criteria in LIR Section 4.5.9(N)~1), The Planning and Zoning Director or his/her designee sha11 then prepare a report which shalt contain the following: (b) Chanp~ Historic Classification: 9. Analysis of fhe properties fo be reclassified; and 2. A staff recommendation as to whether or not the properties should be reclassified due to either: a. loss of historic infegnty as a result of irreversible alterations to a contributing property; or b. inclusion of an additional `p'eriod of Significance per the survey recommendations. STAFF COMMENT: It has been determined that the subject request conforms with Section 4.5.1(N)(1), and the recommendations have been justified within the report with respect to the expansion of the PAS to 1970. The information has been provided and reviewed by Staff and deemed to be complete. The property located 21'1 NW 1st Street was overlooked during the resurvey. The principal structure was constructed in 1959, and is of the Ranch style. In 2007, the HPB approved appropriate improvements to the structure including window replacement and color changes. These improvements have been made, and the property has been salvaged from years of neglect from a previous property owner. Staff recommends that this property be included in the properties to be reclassified, and it is noted that the property owner supports this reclassification. Should the Board recommend to the City Commission that this property be included in the reclassification, the caption to the Ordinance will need to be revised to reflect the reclassification of 7 properties. The properties recommended for reclassification were developed between 1948 and 1960 and have become a part of the West Settlers architectural and cultural history. These properties are compatible and iNustrate the development typology of their time and incorporate a cultural significance within the area. Staff recommends that the PCJS expansion be accepted. CHANGE OF NISTORIG DESIGNATION t_DR Section ~.a.1(N}, Criteria for Change of Historic Designation (1) A survey of all historic districts may be conducted by the City every five {5a years. The surrey report may recommend changes to the historic designation andlor classification of properties located within or immediately adjacent to a designated historic district. {a~ Criteria for Removal from a Historic District: if a survey reveals That a part of a historic district That (ouches the edge of fhe boundary of the hisforic district as it existed at the time of original designation of that district or That was once part of a platted lot that Pouched fhe edge but has since been subdivided has had its historic integrity irreversibly compromised due fo inappropriate developmenf as defermined by fhe survey consultant, then the offending part of fhe distract may be removed and the boundary lines of the historic district revised to reflect the removal in accordance with CDR Section 4.5.90). STAFF COMMENT: The subject survey meets the criteria far change of historic designation as it recommends that a portion of the historic district be removed, which is otherwise known as the Atlantic Grove development. The development touches the district's boundary as it existed at the time of the original designation. Therefore, the subject removal of historic designation meets the criteria listed above.

Therefore, the subject application has been processed for HPB review. (3) The Planning and Zoning flirectar or histher designee shall conduct a preliminary eualuation of the infarmatian provided an each applicatian fa determine if it generally conforms with criteria in LDR Section 4.5.9(N)(9). The Planning and Zoning Director or hisJher designee shall then prepare a report which shall contain the following: {a~ GFrange of Historic Designation: 1. Proposed revised legal boundaries of the historic district! 2. Analysis of the historic significance and character of the praperty(ies) to be removed from to the historic district; and 3. A staff recommendation as fo whether ar not the properties should be removed due to irreversible Jass of hisfaric infegrn!y as a result of inappropriate development within a historic district ar parf of a district. The revised .legal .boundary noted in the attached Ordinance does not include those properties associated with the Atlantic Grove Development, per the attached reap. There is na historic significance remaining within the area to be removed, as it was recently redeveloped. While the boundary alteration is unfortunate as it will reduce the size of the city's only historic district based in African-American history, the removal will further enhance the designation and increase the ratio of contributing and non- contributing properties. Based on the analysis given in the final survey report, positive findings can be made with respect to LDR Section 4.5.1 {N} and 4.5.'1(1)). First and Second Readings are anticipated at City Commission on Tuesday, May 5, 2009, and Tuesday, May 19, 2009, respectivef r~ REVIEW BY OTHERS The DDA reviewed will review Ordinance 17-09 at its meeting of April 13, 2009.
