BACKGROUND I ANALYSIS
The Historic Resources Survey, Phase II, was conducted in June 2002, and consisted of a large survey
area generally spanning from 1-95 to the Intracoastal Waterway and from SE 3rd Street to the north side
of NE 9th Street. The survey included those properties between Trinity Lutheran Church and the north
side of NE 9th Street, which exist within the boundaries of the proposed Northwest Swinton Avenue
Historic District. The balance of the properties within the proposed historic district were analyzed by staff
through windshield surveys and reviews of building permit records in order to establish their standing
within the proposed district. The district was chosen for designation based upon its high architectural
integrity and diversity of architectural styles as well as its contiguous expanse of extant contributing
historic buildings and structures. Thus, the Northwest Swinton Avenue area IS being considered for
designation as a historic district under the criteria listed in Land Development Regulations (LOR)
Sections 4.5.1 (B) (3) (a) and (b), as the area portrays high styles and local interpretations of distinctive
architectural styles and embodies distinctive characteristics typical of those styles and period of
construction.
In March 2004, staff discussed the possibilities of creating a new historic district on the west side of North
Swinton Avenue with the Historic Preservation Board (HPB), based upon the findings of the Historic
Resources Survey, Phase II. The Initial district boundaries were established in order to provide a
symmetrical and uniform boundary. The district extended from North Swinton Avenue westward to NW
2nd Avenue as the existing Del-Ida Park Historic District and proposed Dell Park Historic District would
provide protection for those historic properties to the east along North Swinton Avenue. At its meeting of
August 18, 2004, the HPB set a public hearing date of October 6, 2004, to discuss the proposed historic
district and provide a recommendation to the City Commission. At its meeting of October 6, 2004, the
Board conducted the public hearing in conjunction with review of the historic district designation request.
While some members of the public spoke in favor of the proposed historic district designation, several
members spoke against the designation citing concerns over homeowner's insurance availability and
costs, the perceived advantages and disadvantages of the designation, the disparity between
contributing and noncontributing structures, and the boundaries of the proposed historic district. Several
individuals also spoke about the lack of time to research the impacts of the designation. After reviewing
the staff report and discussing the proposal, the Board voted unanimously (7-0) to postpone action on
the designation request until the Board's meeting of November 3, 2004.
At its meeting of November 3, 2004, staff provided the Board with an alternative district boundary that
removed several noncontributing properties from the originally proposed district, thus providing a higher
percentage of contributing properties. Several members of the public spoke and cited concerns over the
need to designate the entire area as a historic district and the benefits, or lack thereof, which would be
gained by such a designation. The Board discussed the originally proposed district as well as staff's
proposed alternative and a district comprised solely of those properties that abut the west side of North
Swinton Avenue. After reviewing the staff report and discussing revised district boundaries, the Board
\~E

Meeting of December 6, 2004

voted unanimously (7-0) to forward a recommendation of approval to the City Commission to establish
the Northwest Swinton Avenue Historic District being generally described as those properties abuttin~
the west side of North Swinton Avenue, between Trinity Lutheran Church and the north side of NW 1 i
Street.
The historic district, as proposed by the HPB, consists of 37 properties of which 12 would be considered
noncontributing and 25 would be considered contributing. The contributing properties represent 67.56%
of the modified historic district, which is a significant increase upon the 38.96% as proposed with the
original boundaries. Additional information concerning the proposed historic district can be found in the
attached Designation Report.

RECOMMENDATION
Move approval on first reading of Ordinance No. 72-04 to establish the Northwest Swinton Avenue
Historic District, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that
the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets the criteria set forth in Sections
4.5.1 (B) (3) and 4.5.1 (C) of the Land Development Regulations, with second reading to occur on January
4, 2005.

Northwest Swinton Avenue Historic District
Designation Report
City of De/ray Beach
November 2004
I. Statement of Purpose
Northwest Swinton Avenue Historic District
The proposal to establish the Northwest Swinton Avenue area as a designated historic district
was city initiated and began in June 2004 as a direct result of the relocation of a contributing
frame vernacular historic dwelling from 508 North Swinton Avenue to 1440 North Swinton
Avenue. The boundaries were established in order to provide a symmetrical and uniform
boundary. The district was expanded to include up to NW 2nd Avenue to the west as the existing
Del-Ida Park Historic District and proposed Dell Park Historic District provided protection for
those historic properties to the east along North Swinton Avenue. The district was chosen for
designation based upon its high architectural integrity and diversity of architectural styles as well
as its contiguous expanse of extant contributing historic buildings and structures.
II. Location Map and Boundary Description
The proposed Northwest Swinton Avenue Historic District is generally described as the area
between North Swinton Avenue and NW 2nd Avenue, between Trinity Lutheran Church and the
north side of NW 17th Street (see attached map).
III. Architectural Sianificance
The period of significance for the area is 1925 -1954 based upon dates of construction.
Predominant architectural styles include: Mission Revival, Frame Vernacular, Masonry
Vernacular, Mediterranean-Revival, Minimal Traditional, and Contemporary. The following is a
brief description of those styles:
§§
[§§
Frame Vernacular (1900-1940) . Constructed of wood
framing and reflecting no high architectural style or formal
architectural design, the vernacular house can be either
symmetrical or asymmetrical in design. Built by laymen,
often the owner, with no formal construction experience who
utilized local building materials and craftsmanship
techniques (also Masonry Vernacular).
Mission Revival (1920-1935) - Minimally ornamented with
built-up, flat roofs often with stepped or curvilinear parapets,
a wood or hollow clay tile frame with smooth or rough
textured stucco exterior. Tile visor roofs over windows and
entryways are also common. Fenestration often includes
casement windows and arched entryways.
Mediterranean Revival (1915-1940) - Influenced
by the Italian and Spanish styles and popularized
by Henry Flagler and Addison Mizner, this style
displays low pitched, multi-plane roof lines often
with red clay tiles and little or no overhang. Tile
visor roofs are also common. A stucco exterior,
often textured, covers an asymmetrical, wood or
hollow clay tile frame. Arches are prevalent within
the fenestration design including entryways,
arcades, and colonnades.
Minimal Traditional (1935-1950) - Typically, a one-story
building displaying a low or intermediate pitched cross-
gable roof with a large chimney. Shares Tudor style traits
such as rock or brick facing (particularly on the chimney)
and minimal wood detailing. Popularized after World War
II, this style is often associated with tract housing.
6 OIl
nIl
Contemporary (1950-1970)
Contemporary style houses were
constructed from circa 1950 until
1970 and fall in the category of
Modern architecture, in which form
follows function. There are two ~
subtypes based on roof form: flat t:tttttttt:tt1j
and gable. The flat roof subtype is
based on the earlier International
style and is referred to as the
American International. The
International style is reflected
through the flat, often angled, roof, rectangular footprints, window bands, and minimal detail.
However, Contemporary houses in the flat roof subtype often use a variety of materials which
reflects the trends that were popularized in the 1950s. International style had stark, often white,
surfaces covered with a single material. Commonly, they have overhanging eaves and exposed
roof beams; heavy piers may support the gables. Like their flat-roofed counterparts, a variety of
building materials were used and detailing was kept to a minimum. An irregular plan, flat roof,
cantilevered, overhanging roof eaves, bands of large windows, and the use of metal
characterize contemporary residences in Delray Beach.
IV. Historical & Cultural Sianificance
The west side of North Swinton Avenue (today a portion of the Lake Ida Park Neighborhood)
was traditionally an agricultural area. The neighborhood's building stock developed substantially
in the 1920s with the commercial promotion of south Florida as a tourist destination and a
mecca for investment opportunities. The first houses seen in the area were constructed in the
Frame Vernacular and Mediterranean influenced styles such as Mission-Revival and Spanish
Eclectic and were strictly residential in nature. It was noted by early residents that construction
of homes during the 1920s were limited to Swinton Avenue and that anything to the west of
Swinton consisted of merely Palmetto Trees and Scrub Oaks; a local hangout for area children
to play.
One particular dwelling of note is located at 704 North Swinton Avenue and designed by famed
local architect, Sam Ogren, Sr. (1899-1988). Mr. Ogren relocated from Tampa to West Palm
Beach in 1924 as an apprentice to William Manly King, a regional architect. The d~elling at 704
North Swinton Avenue was Mr. Ogren's first design in Delray Beach. The building so impressed
local officials that he was offered the position of City Architect. Between 1924-1950, he
designed over 250 buildings. His most noted works reflected the Mediterranean-Revival style
which can be seen in the Arcade Tap Room Building, Crest Theatre, and Old School Square
Gymnasium located in downtown Delray Beach.
Another notable home in the area is the Marshall DeWitt Residence located at 1110 North
Swinton Avenue. Constructed in 1935-1936, the DeWitt house was designed by famed architect
Gustav Maas and built by R.C. Lawson. DeWitt prospered in the area as a successful farmer
during the Depression years and grew active in the community. DeWitt and his wife Jeanette
Butts DeWitt (of the Butts Agricultural family) were prominent members of Delray Beach society.
Mr. DeWitt served as the Chairman of the Board for the First National Bank in Delray, was a
member of the City Commission and served as Mayor in the mid to late 1940s.
The W. Seward Webb, Jr. home, located at 1634 North Swinton Avenue, was constructed
c.1930. Webb moved to Gulfstream with his mother Lila Vanderbuilt Webb, of the renowned
Vanderbuilt family, between 1923 and 1924. Webb constructed the home as his personal
residence and was a long-time resident of Delray Beach until his death in January 1956.
Other noteworthy properties include 1420 North Swinton Avenue was the residence of Paul E.
Gringle, a prominent Delray Beach realtor and 1602 North Swinton Avenue was home to F.J.
Schrader, a local architect and builder who designed the 1926 Bungalow presently owned and
occupied by the Delray Beach Historical Society (5 NE 1st Avenue).
The neighborhood expanded considerably during the 1930s and 1940s as tourists rented out
local houses and those servicemen stationed in the Boca/Delray area required housing. The
next building boom came after World War II, when those Gis stationed in the area before the
war returned to settle down and start their families. The 1953 Defray Beach City Directory noted
a substantial number of properties in this area as seasonal and apartment rentals. Other houses
of note include several Contemporary style residences which reflect the start of a new era as
more northern residents permanently relocated to south Florida.
The majority of the remainder of the neighborhood's building stock was constructed during the
1950s and 1960s including numerous Ranch style houses. These houses are considered non-
contributing due to either age or lack of architectural integrity.

V. Statement of Sianificance
Pursuant to LOR Section 4.5.1 (B) (3), a district is deemed to have architectural or aesthetic
significance if it fulfills one or more of the following criteria:
(a) Portrays the environment in an era of history characterized by one or more distinctive
architectural styles; and,
(b) Embodies those distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style, period, or
method of construction;
(c) Is a historic or outstanding work of a prominent architect, designer, landscape
architect, or builder; or
(d) Contains elements of design, detail, material, or craftsmanship of outstanding quality
or which represented, in its time, a significant innovation or adaptation to the South
Florida environment.
To qualify as a historic site, or historic district, or historic interior, individual properties,
structures, sites, or buildings, or groups of properties, structures, sites, or buildings must have
significant character, interest, or value as part of the historical, cultural, aesthetic, and
architectural heritage of the city, state, or nation.
The area qualifies as a historic district under the following criterion: (a) portrays high styles and
local interpretations of distinctive architectural styles and (b) embodies distinctive characteristics
typical of those styles and period of construction. A significant concentration of the Mission
Revival, Frame Vernacular, Masonry Vernacular, Mediterranean-Revival, Minimal Traditional,
and Contemporary styles of architecture are prevalent within the proposed boundaries and the
contributing status of these buildings is considerable as the majority have maintained their
architectural integrity.
