The action requested of the City Commission is that of approval on first reading of an ordinance designating the Sandoway House to the Local Register of Historic Places. The Sandoway House was constructed in 1936 and is credited to local architect, Samuel Ogren, the first architect to practice in Delray Beach. Ogren's prolific works shaped both the public and private character of the City, including the National Register listed high school and gymnasium, now known as Old School Square. The Sandoway House was constructed in the then-emerging Resort Colonial Revival style, which was popular in Delray Beach during the years of the Great Depression. It is one of only a handful of houses in this style of architecture remaining on the City's beachfront. The property consists of a single family residence, which is slated to become a nature center under the auspices of the Friends of Sandoway House, Inc. in the near future. The property is currently leased by the City from the owner, Palm Beach County. The County is aware of the proposed designation nomination and no objection has been forthcoming from the Division of Property and Real City Commission Documentation 142 S. Ocean Blvd.; Historic Status Page 2 Estate Management.

Ogren's prolific works shaped both the public and private character of the City of Delray Beach, including the National Register llst~d High School and Gymnasium (now known as Old School Square). The Sandoway House was constructed in the then-emerging Resort Colonial Revival (or Resort Colonial) style, which was polular in Delray Beach during the years of the Great Depression. It is one of only a handful of houses in this style of architecture remaining on the City's beachfront. Overview of' the R~ort Colonial Revival S .tyle (1930-1939} Despite the Great Depreasion there was still a great deal of residential constr~cfion in Delray Beach, much of it built by wealthy winter resident~ along the beachfront. In re;pome to the economic difficulties in the nation, a more restrained form of architecture became popular:. Resort Colonial Revival. This relatively modest style was in deliberate contrast to the more flamboyant and ex-ubs-rant Mediterranean ~ style which was in vogue only a decade before, during the Florida Boom of the 19205. A subtype Of the Colonial Revival style, the Resort Colonial genre combined the best features of colonial and verneoalar design with interesting resort details such as open-air balconies. Typically, Resort Colonial Revival is two-story with either a rectangular or square plan. Roofs are bdpped or side-gabled with. boxed eaves and little overhang, occasionally decorated with dentils or simple comic, es. Both symmetrical and asymmelrical facades are common. The main entrance tend~ to be simple in ornament, but remains a focal poitu ofthe facade. Windows are usually double-hung with six, eight, or nin, panes. Bay, paired and triple windows can also be found. Wood cladding is most common in l;lorida, but masonry examples can be found. Th'e interiors of these houses were often filled with beautifully crafted architectural elements. The city's inventory of these t3'pe of remaining structures includes but a handful remaining along the waterfront. Subject ProverW The Sandoxvay House is typical of' Resort Colonial Revival in it, use of New England clapboard construction combined with an airy porch to capitalize on the sea brecze~. The two-story wood-framed house is rectanguler in form with the open porch on the second floor looking over the ocean. Originally the house featured a corresponding porch directly below on the' first rio,ar'which has been replaced by awrap-around scrccncd porclb added in 1980. The hipped roof` is clad with asphalt shingles and fcaturc~ a cenu'al chimney. Th~ second story is framed in yeti/cai bat~ and bo~xds and the first floor is sheathed in horizontal clapboard. Most of the original $~ pane wood double hung windov.~ arc existing as arethe original operable wood shutters. Au cramp[e of the deliberate lack o£outward oste~ation can be seen in thc elegant arched window which is located on thc south facade of the Sandoway House and is not visible to passersby on the street. Interior details in Saxtdoway House include a gracefi, tl winding staircase, solid Dad¢ County pine floors, cypress ceilings, crown moldings and double-hung wood windows throughout. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE Sandoway House is listed in the Florida Department of State Master Site File I..n73'.' i/ntory of Historic Structures and is eligible for listing in the City's Local Register of Historic. Pl'acea. Sandoway House was built for retired produce broker J. B. Evans from Dee'field Beach in 1936.
