THE SCOTT HOUSE
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA
I.PURPOSE:
The purpose of The Scott House nomination to the Local Register
of Historic Places is: A) create awareness of the town's
architectural and historical buildings, B) provide an example
of appreciation for a particular era of the town's development,
C) encourage restoration and use of a structurally sound
building, D) acknowledge the contribution of one of Delray
Beach's pioneer families, the Scott Family, E) remember the
previously existing ensemble of structures known as the Seacrest
Hotel, and F) protect the last remaining Mediterranean Revival
style private building in the Beach Area built during the 1920's
Boom period before Delray and Delray Beach were joined and
incorporated in 1927.
II.LOCATION
The Scott House is situated at 19 Andrews Avenue, and is legally
described as "The North fifty feet of the west one hundred ten
feet, less the West ten feet of Beach Lot fifteen, Subdivision
of the fractional east half of Section sixteen, Township forty
three, Range forty three East, City of Delray Beach, Palm Beach
•
County, Florida."
West of the Atlantic Ocean one block and a i block North of
East Atlantic Avenue, the house is positioned on the eastside
of Andrews Avenue facing West. It comprises the Northwest corner
of what once was the ensemble of buildings known as the Seacrest
Hotel: the main Hotel building along Atlantic Avenue and Ocean
Boulevard and another contributing building that was situated
along Atlantic Avenue at the Northeast corner of Andrews Avenue.
Built when Delray Beach was a separate community from the Town
of Delray, the Scott House provides a landmark for appreciating
the prevalent Mediterranean Revival style of the 1920s.
III. STRUCTURE
Constructed in c. 1925 with later additions and repairs, the
Scott property consists of,the Scott House, a two story main
building and a detached one story garage apartment. Stucco on
frame in construction, the house soars twenty two feet. The
enclosure of the South Loggia in the house ,the enclosure of
a east porch, and additions to the stucco on frame garage are
the primary changes to the original structure.
The classic Mediterranean Revival style front west elevation
features matching double columns sheltering an oval doorway,that
forms an elaborate entrance topped by a decorative wrought-iron
balcony. The upper North corner is embellished with a Spanish
style shield and inlay. The rhythm of the five period windows
instills the harmony of the barrel tile roof line that is framed
by the original carved wooden eaves. Crowned with a stucco
detailed chimney, the open, second story terrace features a
decorative awning with ocean view panoramas.
The Scott House
Structure(continued)
The entrance planters and current stairway configuration
have been altered over the past several decades. The ppen air
South Loggia was enclosed probably after the severe 1928
hurricane when devastating winds damaged all the hotel buildings.
The Scott Family made many repairs to the structures following
the storm.
The House comprises over 2,200 square feet of living area while
the garage measures approx. 210 square feet. The exteriors have
been recently restored, and all adaptations have been in keeping
with the original style of the House. The irregular window
patterns prevalent during the 1920s is in contrast to the South
Loggia elevation which features six eight-pane casement windows.
The interior of the House features two staircase windows,
hardwood floors,and an accentuated fireplace with decorative
moldings and a niche. The first floor consists of a living
room, bath, kitchen, enclosed loggia, and dining room. The
second floor has an open terrace, two bedrooms and a shared
bathroom.. The site was selected because of its distance from
the ocean, the panorama it provided, and its access to the
Seacrest Hotel.
IV. HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE
E. H. Scott, Senior Station agent for the Southern Division
of the Florida East Coast Railroad , was a Director of the Delray
Bank and Trust,a Director of Ocean City Lumber Company, and
a prominent Civitan Club member. A native Floridian and Delray
pioneer, Mr. Scott arrived in Delray in 1915. He was elected
Mayor in 1918,and again in 1942. Sensing the need for a resort
hotel, he contracted with L.H. Walker to build the Seacrest
Hotel between 1924-1925. Situated on the corner of Ocean
Boulevard and Atlantic Avenue, the Seacrest Hotel was an
architectural landmark for over fifty years. Opened as a year
round resort, the Seacrest Hotel was the first Mediterranean
Revival style hotel to be built in Delray Beach, and was probably
designed by a Palm Beach or Miami architect. All three structures
were probably built by the same designers and craftsmen.
The property for the Scott House was owned by John B. & Mary
Leatherman, prominent early pioneers. Mr. Leatherman was a
noted Dunkard as well as civic booster who sold the parcel to
John J. Schabinger in 1909. Mr. Schabinger was a respected
Banker and friend of Mr. Scott's who sold the parcel to Mr.
Scott in 1925. During Scott's ownership(1925-1933), the existing
house was constructed. The property was quit claimed to Mrs.
Archie Scott Fitch in March,1933. The sister of E.H. Scott,
Mrs. Fitch used the house as a seasonal home until August,1944
when it was purchased by another of Delray's distinguished
personalities, Mr. Mel F. Riley,Jr.
The House is one of the last remaining, 1920's Boom-period
Mediterranean Revival residence in the beach area. While the
1928 hurricane devastated over 225 buildings in the community,
it has been the post war zoning changes that have contributed
to the demolition of every other oceanside Mediterranean style
structure. The razing of the Seacrest Hotel without salvage
or documentation leaves this structure as a legacy of the Boom
Period. In July,1929 E.H. Scott applied for building permits
to repair the Hotel and other buildings on the site following
the storm surge.
Architecturally, the residence reflectsan excellence in
craftsmanship, and the popularity of this style. The original
building materials are in good condition, and the secondary
alterations only slightly detracts from the original design.
The Scott House
• 19 Andrews Avenue
V. PRESENT USE, CONDITION AND ZONING
19 Andrews Avenue is currently used as residence, business
office, and guest quarters. Its multiplicity of uses creates
the foundation for its economic survival in a densely developed
area where land costs are substantial.
The House and Garage are both in Very Good Condition. The
enclosure of the South Loggia,the attachment of a parking awning,
and the open—air second story Terrace only slightly detract
from the original design. The modifications to the east porch
of the house are not visible from the street.
The existing Commercial Zoning permits a variety of uses which
insure the continued vitality of the building.
VI. IMPACT
The desigation of the Scott House to the Local Register of
Historic Places acknowledges the contribution of E.H.Scott to
the genesis of image and character which defined Delray Beach
as one of South Florida's premiere resorts, that also served
as the most architecturally and culturally significant community
between Coral Gables and Palm Beach. Further, it reinforces
the need of the community to recognize the quality in
craftsmanship of the Town's early builders, and serves as a
reminder of the dimension,scale, and proportion of life in this
village—by—the sea.
VII. RESOLUTION
The Historic Preservation Board of Delray Beach accepts this
designation report and resolution to place the Scott House on
its Local Register of Historic Places. The Historic Preservation
Board finds that the Scott House is consistent with the City's
acknowledgment of its architectural and historical resources.
Further, the designation serves as a permanent reminder of Delray
Beach's resort tradition,- and as a contribution of one of its
prominent citizens and former Mayor , E.H. Scott.

THE SCOTT HOUSE
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA
I.PURPOSE:
The purpose of The Scott House nomination to the Local Register
of Historic Places is: A) create awareness of the town' s
architectural and historical buildings, B) provide an example
of appreciation for a particular era of the town' s development,
C) encourage restoration and use of a structurally sound
building, D) acknowledge the contribution of one of Delray
Beach' s pioneer families , the Scott Family , E) remember the
previously existing ensemble of structures known as the Seacrest
Hotel, and F) protect the last remaining Mediterranean Revival
style private building in the Beach Area built during the 1920 ' s
Boom period before Delray and Delray Beach were joined and
incorporated in 1927 . •
II . LOCATION
The Scott House is situated at 19 Andrews Avenue, and is legally
described as "The North fifty feet of the west one hundred ten
feet , less the West ten feet of Beach Lot fifteen, Subdivision
of the fractional east half of Section sixteen, Township forty
three , Range forty three East , City of Delray Beach, Palm Beach
County, Florida. "
West of the Atlantic Ocean one block and a 2 block North of
East Atlantic Avenue , the house is positioned on the eastside
of Andrews Avenue facing West . It comprises the Northwest corner
of what once was the ensemble of buildings known as the Seacrest
Hotel: the main Hotel building along Atlantic Avenue and Ocean
Boulevard and another contributing building that was situated
along Atlantic Avenue at the Northeast corner of Andrews Avenue.
Built when Delray Beach was a separate community from the Town
of Delray, the Scott House provides a landmark for appreciating
the prevalent Mediterranean Revival style of the 1920s .
III. STRUCTURE
Constructed in c . 1925 with later additions and repairs, the
Scott property consists of , the Scott House , a two story main
building and a detached one story garage apartment . Stucco on
frame in construction , the house soars twenty two feet . The
enclosure of the South Loggia in the house , the enclosure of
a east porch, and additions to the stucco on frame garage are
the primary changes to the original structure.
The classic Mediterranean Revival style front west elevation
features matching double columns sheltering an oval doorway , that
forms an elaborate entrance topped by a decorative wrought—iron
balcony . The upper North corner is embellished with a Spanish
style shield and inlay . The rhythm of the five period windows.
instills the harmony of the barrel tile roof line that is framed
by the original carved wooden eaves . Crowned with a stucco
detailed chimney, the open, second story terrace features a
decorative awning with ocean view panoramas .
The Scott House
Structure(continued)
• The entrance planters and current stairway configuration
have been altered over the past several decades . The open air
South Loggia was enclosed probably after the severe 1928
hurricane when devastating winds damaged all the hotel buildings .
The Scott Family made many repairs to the structures following
the storm.
The House comprises over 2 , 200 square feet of living area while
the garage measures approx . 210 square feet . The exteriors have
been recently restored , and all adaptations have been in keeping
with the original style of the House. The irregular window
patterns prevalent during the 1920s is in contrast to the South
Loggia elevation which features six eight—pane casement windows.
The interior of the House features two staircase windows,
hardwood floors ,and an accentuated fireplace with decorative
moldings and a niche . The first floor consists of a living
room, bath, kitchen, enclosed loggia, and dining room. The
second floor has an open terrace, two bedrooms and a shared
bathroom. . The site was selected because of its distance from
the ocean , the panorama it provided, and its access to the
Seacrest Hotel .
IV. HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE
E. H. Scott , Senior Station agent for the Southern Division
of the Florida East Coast Railroad , was a Director of the Delray
Bank and Trust ,a Director of Ocean City Lumber Company , and
a prominent Civitan Club member . A native Floridian and Delray
pioneer , Mr. Scott arrived in Delray in 1915 . He was elected
Mayor in 1918 ,and again in 1942 . Sensing the need for a resort
hotel , he contracted with L.H. Walker to build the Seacrest
Hotel between 1924-1925 . Situated on the corner of Ocean
Boulevard and Atlantic Avenue, the Seacrest Hotel was an
architectural landmark for over fifty years . Opened as a year
round resort , the Seacrest Hotel was the first Mediterranean
Revival style hotel to be built in Delray Beach, and was probably
designed by a Palm Beach or Miami architect. All three structures
were probably built by the same designers and craftsmen.
The property for the Scott House was owned by John B. & Mary
Leatherman , prominent early pioneers. Mr . Leatherman was a
noted Dunkard as well as civic booster who sold the parcel to
John J. Schabinger in 1909 . Mr . Schabinger was a respected -
Banker and friend of Mr. Scott ' s who sold the parcel to Mr.
Scott in 1925 . During Scott ' s ownership(1925-1933) , the existing
house was constructed. The property was quit claimed to Mrs .
Archie Scott Fitch in March , 1933 . The sister of E.H. Scott ,
Mrs. Fitch used the house as a seasonal home until August , 1944
when it was purchased by another of Delray ' s distinguished
personalities , Mr. Mel F. Riley ,Jr .
The House is one of the last remaining , 1920 's Boom—period
Mediterranean Revival residence in the beach area. While the
1928 hurricane devastated over 225 buildings in the community,
it has been the post war zoning changes that have contributed
to the demolition of every other oceanside Mediterranean style
structure. The razing of the Seacrest Hotel without salvage
or documentation leaves this structure as a legacy of the Boom
Period. In July , 1929 E. H. Scott applied for building permits
to repair the Hotel and other buildings on the site following
the storm surge .
Architecturally , the residence reflectsan excellence in
craftsmanship , and the popularity of this style. The original
building materials are in good condition , and the secondary
alterations only slightly detracts from the original design.
The Scott House
19 Andrews Avenue
V. PRESENT USE, CONDITION AND ZONING
19 Andrews Avenue is currently used as residence, business
office, and guest quarters. Its multiplicity of uses creates
the foundation for its economic survival in a densely developed
area where land costs are substantial .
The House and Garage are both in Very Good Condition. The
enclosure of the South Loggia, the attachment of a parking awning ,
and the open-air second story Terrace only slightly detract
from the original design . The modifications to the east porch
of the house are not visible from the street .
The existing Commercial Zoning permits a variety of uses which
insure the continued vitality of the building .
VI. IMPACT
The desigation of the Scott House to the Local Register of
Historic Places acknowledges the contribution of E.H.Scott to
the genesis of image and character which defined Delray Beach
as one of South Florida' s premiere resorts , that also served
as the most architecturally and culturally significant community
between Coral Gables and Palm Beach. Further , it reinforces
the need of the community to recognize the quality in
craftsmanship of the Town ' s early builders , and serves as a
reminder of the dimension , scale , and proportion of life in this
village-by-the sea.
VII . RESOLUTION
The Historic Preservation Board of Delray Beach accepts this
designation report and resolution to place the Scott House on
its Local Register of Historic Places . The Historic Preservation
Board finds that the Scott House is consistent with the City ' s
acknowledgment of its architectural and historical resources .
Further , the designation serves as a permanent reminder of Delray
Beach' s resort tradition , and as a contribution of one of its
prominent citizens and former Mayor , E.H. Scott .
