PRESENT USE, CONDITION AND ZONING V. IMPACT VI. RESOLUTION • THE KOCH HOUSE 777 NORTH OCEAN BOULEVARD, DELRAY BEACH I. PURPOSE • The purpose of designating The Koch House, 777 North Ocean Boulevard, to the Delray, Beach Local Register of Historic Places is to preserve the architectural and cultural significance of the town's most distinctive private, residential oceanfront estates constructed during the Great Depression. While Palm Beach and Gulfstream feature many Mediterranean Revival style estates built from 1923-1937, the Koch House is the town's only contribution to this magnificent South Florida style.• 777 North Ocean Boulevard's designation will protect the scale, grandeur, dimensions, and eclectic qualities which the house demonstrates. It is an excellent example of a certain historical period in Florida and the United'States. II. LOCATION The Koch Residence is situated at 777 North Ocean Boulevard, Delray Beach. Its 200 x 215 foot ocean front parcel is the northern most ocean lot., and lies on the Delray Beach/Gulfstream Town line. The legal description is Palm Beach Shore Acres, Block D, Lot 21 and Lot 22. The house has been aligned more with the construction and style of the period in Gulfstream than Delray Beach. The Mediterranean style in Delray Beach was primarily along South Ocean Boulevard, while North Ocean Boulevard, North of Atlantic Avenue to Eighth Street, NE was developed in the 1930's with British Colonial, Cape Cod, Mission, and the Monterey Style of architecture. III. HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE Constructed in 1933, the Koch House was built and designed by its owner, Dr. William Fredrich Koch (1885-1967) . Born in Detroit, and educated at the University of Michigan (BA-1909, MA-1910, PHD-1916) . Dr. Koch received his M.D. from the Detroit College of Medicine in 1918. He was an instructor of Histology and Embryology (1910-1914) , a Professor of Physiology (1914) , a Pathologist (1915) , and began private practice and research in Europe and South America beginning in 1919. Dr. Koch was the topic of a book, "Birth of a Science" (1950) , and the author of "The Survival Factor in Cancer and Viral Infections (1958) . He was the creator of "Glyoxylide", and was a renowned figure in enlightened national and international medical research circles for almost 50 years. In late fall, 1948, he established residency in Rio de Janairo, Brazil where he lived until his passing on December 8, 1967. Page 2 The Koch House III. HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE (cont'd.) A seasonal visitor to Palm Beach and Gulfstream in the 1920's and 1930's, Dr. Koch built 777 North Ocean Boulevard as a winter seasonal beach house in the then popular Mediterranean Revival Style. The owner is credited with being the architect of record, and it is widely believed Mr. C.G. Warner, illustrious Palm Beach builder, was the contractor. Delray mason Mr. E.M. McLaren designed much of the ornamental stone work. Local and Palm Beach craftsmen were employed as artisans for the masonry work, cypress, flooring, and other structural details. The Koch House is a four thousand square foot, three story, ten room structure. It is embedded into the natural coral stone foundation. Dr. Koch's concern for seasonal hurricanes prompted him. to reinforce all the bearing walls of the estate. The five ranked east facade with its multi-planes, L-Shaped, barrel tile roof is a classic, superb representation of its style. Centered by a third story elaborated tower room and a banded open porch flanked by decorative double fire places, the house's silhouette is opened by an extensive open Loggia on the ground level. The elaborated period chimney tops compliment the Gothic-like ornamentation of the tower. Crowned with corner escutcheons, finials, a crested roof line, a rare triple leaded glass windowed oriel .of intricate cypress construction highlights the west facade. Resembling a turn of the century midwest university turret, the tower room was used by Dr. Koch as a laboratory. The walled entrance courtyard on the property's west side is the town's most significant. It served as an entertainment area as well as protection from the ocean breezes. The original stonework, crests, fountain, mahogany batten doors remain. Some of the stonework is believed to be from Mizner Industries. In 1939, a garage was added in the same architectural character to the courtyard north side. All decorative trim and accessories match the original construction. The courtyard's northern side was abridged by a kitchen addition (10 x 20') . The massive, glazed, board and batten front double door entrance is capped by hooded keystone sash windows and a triple crested balcony. The principal living ocean room features three matched Islamic patterned, ribbon windows facing east, south and west. All windows feature keystone hood molds with label stops, and double round Corinthian columns. This breathtaking ocean room also features a massive Mediterranean fireplace with a mantel to ceiling bonnet with inlaid stone crests. • Page 3 The Koch House III. HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE (cont'd.) The main level loggia overlooks the ocean, and is a rectangular 13 x 27' structure framed by six Corinthian columns made of Keystone. All original portals doors are framed by keystone quoins, pediments, or elliptical framing. Exterior original light fixtures reflect the - 1930's style. The owner was influenced by travels to Spain, Italy and Western Europe. Stained and leaded glass windows accentuate the houses detailing and period. The interior features imported ceiling woods, cypress and stone staircases. There are nearly 30 original windows, 10 doors, and all the period light fixtures remain. The structure was built for approximately $ 40,000.00 IV. PRESENT USE, CONDITION AND ZONING • A. Present Use The property is a vacant single family residence with a detached garage apartment (1939) and a separate guesthouse (1980) . B. Condition The structure is in very good condition. Post World War II window additions and replacements have been inappropriate. C. Zoning • Current zoning is R-1AAA for both parcels. V. IMPACT The designation is being made at the request of the owner of contract. The owner would reserve the intent, restore, and modify the house. A Certificate of Appropriateness would be necessary from the Historic Preservation Board for any structural alterations. VI. RESOLUTION It is resolved that 777 North Ocean Boulevard (The Koch House) be deemed on the Local Register of Historic Places of the City of Delray Beach for its architecture, historical and cultural contribution to the City of Delray Beach.

PURPOSE II. LOCATION III. HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE IV. PRESENT USE, CONDITION AND ZONING V. IMPACT VI. RESOLUTION , THE KOCH HOUSE 777 NORTH OCEAN BOULEVARD, DELRAY BEACH I. PURPOSE • The purpose of designating The Koch House, 777 North Ocean Boulevard, to the Delray Beach Local Register of Historic Places is to preserve the architectural and cultural significance of the town's most distinctive private, residential oceanfront estates constructed during the Great Depression. While Palm Beach and Gulfstream feature many Mediterranean Revival style estates built from 1923-1937, the Koch House is the town's only contribution to this magnificent South Florida style. 777 North Ocean Boulevard's designation will protect the scale, grandeur, dimensions, and eclectic qualities which the house demonstrates. It is an excellent example of a certain historical period in Florida and the United 'States. II. LOCATION The Koch Residence is situated at 777 North Ocean Boulevard, Delray Beach. Its 200 x 215 foot ocean front parcel is the northern most ocean lot, and lies on the Delray Beach/Gulfstream Town line. The legal description is Palm Beach Shore Acres, Block D, Lot 21 and Lot 22. The house has been aligned more with the construction and style of the period in Gulfstream than Delray Beach. The Mediterranean style in Delray Beach was primarily along South Ocean Boulevard, while North Ocean Boulevard, North of Atlantic Avenue to Eighth Street, NE was developed in the 1930's with British Colonial, Cape Cod, Mission, and the Monterey Style of architecture. III. HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE Constructed in 1933, the Koch House was built and designed by its owner, Dr. William Fredrich Koch (1885-1967) . Born in Detroit, and educated at the University of Michigan (BA-1909, MA-1910, PHD-1916) . Dr. Koch received his M.D. from the Detroit College of Medicine in 1918. He was an instructor of Histology and Embryology (1910-1914) , a Professor of Physiology (1914) , a Pathologist (1915) , and began private practice and research in Europe and South America beginning in 1919. Dr. Koch was the topic of a book, "Birth of a Science" (1950) , and the author of "The Survival Factor in Cancer and Viral Infections (1958) . He was the creator of "Glyoxylide", and was a renowned figure in enlightened national and international medical research circles for almost 50 years. In late fall, 1948, he established residency in Rio de Janairo, Brazil where he lived until his passing on December 8, 1967. • Page 2 The Koch House III. HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE (cont'd.) A seasonal visitor to Palm Beach and Gulfstream in the 1920's and 1930's, Dr. Koch built 777 North Ocean Boulevard as a winter seasonal beach house in the then popular Mediterranean Revival Style. The owner is credited. with being the architect of record, and it is widely believed Mr. C.G. Warner, illustrious Palm Beach builder, was the contractor. Delray mason Mr. E.M. McLaren designed much of the ornamental stone work. Local and Palm Beach craftsmen were employed as artisans for the masonry work, cypress, flooring, and other structural details. The Koch House is a four thousand square foot, three story, ten room _ structure. It is embedded into the natural coral stone foundation. Dr. Koch's concern for seasonal hurricanes prompted him to reinforce all the bearing walls of the estate. The five ranked east facade with its multi-planes, L-Shaped, barrel tile roof is a classic, superb representation of its style. Centered by a third story elaborated tower room and a banded open porch flanked by decorative double fire places, the house's silhouette is opened by an extensive open Loggia on the ground level. The elaborated period chimney tops compliment the Gothic-like ornamentation of the tower. Crowned with corner escutcheons, finials, a crested roof line, a rare triple leaded glass windowed oriel of intricate cypress construction highlights the west facade. Resembling a turn of the century midwest university turret, the tower room was used by Dr. Koch as a laboratory. The walled entrance courtyard on the property's west side is the town's most significant. It served as an entertainment area as well as protection from the ocean breezes. The original stonework, crests, fountain, mahogany batten doors remain. Some of the stonework is believed to be from Mizner Industries. In 1939, a garage was added in the same architectural character to the courtyard north side. All decorative trim and accessories match the original construction. The courtyard's northern side was abridged by: a kitchen addition (10 x 20') . The massive, glazed, board and batten front double door entrance is capped by hooded keystone sash windows and a triple crested balcony. The principal living ocean room features three matched Islamic patterned, ribbon windows facing east, south and west. All windows feature keystone hood molds with label stops, and double round Corinthian columns. This breathtaking ocean room also features a massive Mediterranean fireplace with a mantel to ceiling bonnet with inlaid stone crests. Page 3 The Koch House III. HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE (cont'd.) The main level loggia overlooks the ocean, and is a rectangular 13 x 27' structure framed by six Corinthian columns made of Keystone. All original portals doors are framed by keystone quoins, pediments, or elliptical framing. Exterior original light fixtures reflect the 1930's style. The owner was influenced by travels to Spain, Italy and Western Europe. Stained and leaded glass windows accentuate the houses detailing and period. The interior features imported ceiling woods, cypress and stone staircases. There are nearly 30 original windows, 10 doors, and all the period light fixtures remain. The structure was built for approximately $ 40,000.00 IV. PRESENT USE, CONDITION AND ZONING A. Present Use The property is a vacant single family residence with a detached garage apartment (1939) and a separate guesthouse (1980) . B. Condition The structure is in very good condition. Post World War II window additions and replacements have been inappropriate. C. Zoning Current zoning is R-1AAA for both parcels. V. IMPACT The designation is being made at the request of the owner of contract. The owner would reserve the intent, restore, and modify the house. A Certificate of Appropriateness would be necessary from the Historic Preservation Board for any structural alterations. VI. RESOLUTION It is resolved that 777 North Ocean Boulevard (The Koch House) be deemed on the Local Register of Historic Places of the City of Delray Beach for its architecture, historical and cultural contribution to the City of Delray Beach.
