Property Address: 102 SW 12th Avenue HPB Meeting Date: November 18, 2015 File No: 2016-003 ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The action requested of the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission on a privately initiated request for individual local designation of "Ridley Temple Church of God in Christ, Inc." located at 102 SW 12th Avenue, pursuant to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 4.5.1(C), Designation Procedures. BACKGROUND The subject property is located at 102 SW 12th Avenue on the west side of the SW 12th Street at the corner of SW 1st Street. The property contains a significant example of masonry vernacular religious architecture in the Atlantic Park Gardens Neighborhood of Delray Beach, Florida. The property is zoned RM, multiple family residential.(medium density).The subject property that the church owns consists of three lots, the building lot measures 57' x 138', the adjacent lot to the south measures 50' x 138' and the lot behind the church fronting SW 13th Avenue measures 57' x 138'. The founding Pastor of the church Elder Andrew W. Ridley along with members from the community designed and built the church as you see today. The original building was one story and was completed in the year of 1949. The original one-story building was 18' feet wide x 24' long. The design concept of the church was influenced and inspired by AM Cohen Temple Church of God in Christ in Miami, Florida. The second floor (Sanctuary) was added to the building in the year of 1956. The construction of the church is a combination of wood frame and concrete block. In 1962, a small one story kitchen was added to the north side building. The local historic designation is now before the Board for consideration. ANALYSIS LDR Section 4.5.1(B), Criteria for Designation of Historic Sites or Districts: Pursuant to Section 4.5.1(B)(1), to qualify as a historic structure, individual 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. To qualify as a historic site, historic district, or historic structure, the property or properties must fulfill one or more of the criteria set forth in division (2) or(3) below;. The subject structure meets the following criteria: (B)(2) Historical or cultural significance: (d) Exemplifies the historical, political, cultural, economic, or social trends of the community in history; "Ridley Temple Church of God in Christ" Designation; 2016-003 HPB Meeting November 18, 2016; Page 2 of 4 STAFF COMMENT: The church at 102 SW 12th Avenue meets the above criteria in that since the 1940s it is the first church in this community to support the African American community by assisting migrant workers with a place of worship and a place of refuge for their families in a time of need. Elder Andrew Ridley spent his time traveling to the western farm areas ministering and providing religious leadership to those families who needed transportation, clothing, and food by bringing them to the church for fellowship with the congregation. In the early 1960s the lower level of the church was utilized as a daycare to assist working mothers with a place to house their children while they worked. The daycare became a place to nurture, feed and teach children about the bible and the need to have God in their lives. Today, "the main mission of the church is to enrich all involved by presenting the Word of God and exploring African American worship experience with all cultures and nationalities in a way that will inspire others to want to make significant changes in their life and well-being, be it spiritually, mentally or physically". (B)(3) Architectural or aesthetic significance: (a) Portrays the environment in an era of history characterized by one or more distinctive architectural styles; (b) Embodies those distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style, period, or method of construction; (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. STAFF COMMENT: The unique architectural design and presence of this two-story masonry vernacular style emanating from the 1940's-1950's is significant to the Atlantic Park Gardens community and Delray Beach for the its design, detail, material, and craftsmanship as outlined below: The stucco covered building features a low pitched front gable roof with wall projections at either side of the gable and the roof is covered in shingles. The wooden brackets under the roof eaves follow the perimeter of the building with the exception of the front facade. The front façade wall projections appear straight, but as you turn the corner to the sides of the building, there is an interesting triangular form that covers a recessed entryway on the ground level. The dual entries (at the front and the back of the church) are graced by two story double staircases with elaborately patterned with cast concrete breezeblock hand rails and balcony rails leading to the main upper level. The worshippers enter at the rear of the sanctuary on the second level through two large recessed red doors. In between those doors is an original glass block cross which brings a subdued light into the sanctuary. At the west (rear) side of the exterior of the church building there are double staircases with similar breezeblock hand rails which lead to interior offices flanking the altar. The double staircases are indicative of earlier "Caribbean" style architecture from the islands. See the examples from Barbados, Jamaica, Antilles (figures 1, 2, and 3) attached at the end of this report. In addition, the modular breezeblock material found in the railings is commonly found in the Miami Modern, mid-Century style of architecture from the World War II era, 1945-1960's, and consists of concrete block styles ranging in several sizes and patterns. The modular breezeblock found on the frontal church railings are of two different styles, an "X" pattern, and stacked rectangular concrete blocks arranged in an offset pattern on the both levels. The "X" pattern is found on all railings at the rear elevation of the church. "Ridley Temple Church of God in Christ" Designation; 2016-003 HPB Meeting November 18,2016; Page 3 of 4 The church sanctuary is flanked by five arched multi-colored stained glass windows. Two additional stained glass windows are located at the altar. The stained glass scenes depict various bible stories. The original coved ceiling is covered in Dade County Pine wood planks and the walls are plaster. Recent additions are the partial wood wall paneling application and enlargement of the altar. Several future improvements to the church are planned such as replacing the damaged lower level windows, painting the church, and the addition of an elevator. At the current time many members of the congregation are elderly and can no longer climb the stairs to participate in the services. An additional enhancement would be re-illumination of the neon cross, along with the name of the church painted on the front building as it originally appeared in documented photographs (see front cover of designation report). Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Objective A-4 The redevelopment of land and buildings shall provide for the preservation of historic resources. The objective shall be met through continued adherence to the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance and, where applicable, to architectural design guidelines through the following policies: Policy A-4.1 Prior to approval or recommending approval of any land use or development application for properly located within a historic district or designated as a historic site, the Historic Preservation Board must make a finding that the requested action is consistent with the provisions of Section 4.5.1 of the Land Development Regulations relating to historic sites and districts and the `Delray Beach Design Guidelines" Policy A-4.2 In order to protect the City's historic resources, the Land Development Regulations shall include provisions for designation of historically significant buildings, structures, archaeological sites, or districts. The City shall conduct periodic neighborhood surveys to identify and evaluate potential historic resources at least once every five years. STAFF COMMENT: The proposed designation meets the intent of the applicable Objective and Policies noted above, as it will provide for the preservation of the subject structure, thereby ensuring the protection of an example of this type of style and building. Further, the comments above illustrate that the request meets the criteria set forth in LDR Section 4.5.1 which provides for the designation of "historically significant buildings."

Historical And Cultural Significance In early 1946 Andrew W. Ridley and his wife Annie Mae Ridley moved from Miami, Florida to Delray Beach, Florida in the Atlantic Park Gardens Division. Andrew Ridley had a divine inspiration to come to Delray Beach and establish a place of worship in the African American Community. His vision was to build a church, a place of refuge for the residence of the community in their time of need. The principles and philosophies of the Pentecostal Movement during that era of an oppressed segregated south, was to bring not only to a place of worship, but also hope and stability to the community. Today those founding principles and philosophies still remain along with providing an understanding and developing an appreciation for the African American Pentecostal worship experience. The name of the organization was chosen in honor of the founders Elder Andrew Ridley and his wife who were respected leaders in the community. The church is located in the heart of the African American community, and is playing a fundamental role in the rebirth and revitalization of the surrounding communities including providing cultural awareness and a better appreciation for the importance of preserving historical structures which are directly linked to the rich heritage and a better appreciation for the importance of preserving historical structures. The area during the 1940's was of a struggling community and church was being held in a small house next door to where the sanctuary stands today. As the people came Andrew Ridley organized the church and began to have services in that small house. 7 8 As the church membership grew Andrew Ridley and the men of the church planned a church house (which it was called in that day) and acquired the necessary permit in 1948 from the City of Delray Beach to get started in building the sanctuary. The men of the church gathered after work in the evening to build the church. The original church was the lower level for about 5 or 6 years. The members decided to add a second level to the church in which the owner wanted to develop and start a daycare for the community which was well needed at that time. They worked tirelessly at night in order to complete the sanctuary upstairs. The sanctuary was completed in the year of our Lord 1956, services are still being held upstairs to this day. In 1989 under the leadership of Elder Thomas Moore the sanctuary was renovated to include new paneling, extension of the pulpit, and Pulpit furniture, new lighting, and carpeting, pews in the choir stand, and stained glass windows that enhanced the church. The stained glass windows are rectangular weigh round top complete faceted glass depicting the following scenes, Annunciation, Nativity, Child Jesus teaching in the temple, Baptism of Jesus w/John the Baptist, Jesus teaching the Children, Agony in the Garden, Crucifixion, Resurrection from the Tomb, Ascension of Our Lord, the Pentecost, Good Shepherd and Lambs. Over the years Ridley Temple has been and continue to be a church that is there for the up building of the community. Spiritually we are there to help in the community needs. Our prayers and hope is that we will be able to continue what our forefathers considered as the focal point in enabling the community to grow. 8 9 OIV. Statement of Significance Thanks to the determination of Elder Andrew Ridley to maintain the church he built, this building has remained a place of worship and fellowship consistently over the years. As the first church in this community it is the sanctuary for the Church of God in Christ in Delray Beach, Florida. Elder Ridley had a vision and mission to serve the African American community by assisting Migrant workers with a place of worship and a place of refuge for their families in a time of need. He spent his time traveling to the western farm areas ministering and providing religious leadership to those families who needed transportation, clothing and food by bringing them to the church for fellowship with the congregation. The vision and mission of the church along with its historical character has remained a pillar of this community. The outer design and construction has not been altered except for the illumination cross that stood tall as a beacon of light for the community. The cross could be seen throughout the city of Delray and served as a drawing point to lead others to the church for worship. There have been updates to the Windows to add beauty and character to the building. In the early 1960s the down stairs area was utilized as a daycare to assist working mothers with a place to house their children while they worked. The daycare became a place to nurture,feed and teach children about the bible and the need to have God in their lives. The majority of the children that attended the daycare were also members of the church along with their Parents. Although the daycare no longer exists the vision continues to serve the children in the community by teaching them morals and respect for others and provide a place of worship. 9 10 The sanctuary stands today as an example of the type of construction typical in Florida and in Delray Beach in the 1940s. The Masonry Vernacular design of architecture and materials used are signatures of that era. The downstairs was constructed first to allow the members to have a place of worship until the completion of the entire structure. Worship services were held in this area along with feeding of those in need. The architectural design and structure were started and completed by the male members of the church in the early 1950s. The men of the church along with Pastor Ridley worked tireless hours and days to build the church utilizing their money to purchase materials needed to construct the foundation and building. Current Members continue this ritual with assisting with finances for the up keep of the inside and outside of the building with a vision to continue to bring hope and a place of worship to the community. Our main vision and mission is to enrich all involved by presenting the Word of God and exploring African American worship experience with all cultures and nationalities in a way that will inspire others to want to make significant changes in their life and well-being, be it spiritually, mentally or physically. Currently the church has opened its doors to the Haitian community in fellowship and worship on Sunday mornings, by bridging the gap between language and religious beliefs. Our mission will continue to be a service to the community by meeting the needs of others through fellowship and a place for healing. 10 11 V. Architectural Significance The Architectural Style: Masonry Vernacular The original church of(Ridley Temple Church of God in Christ), meet within a small house on the now churches property. Years later the church was removed to make way for an edifice dedicated to God, which stands today. The founding Pastor of the church Elder Andrew W. Ridley along with members from the Community designed and built the church as you see today. The one story building was completed in the year of 1949. The original one-story building was 18"feet wide x 24"long. There are several other small enlargements were added over the years such as the tiling, windows, and pulpit area. The second floor (Sanctuary) was added to the building in the year of 1956 and the entire building is currently 52'feet tall. The construction of the church is a combination of wood frame and concrete block The foundation is made up of concrete pillars which stand on a concrete foundation. There are stairs which are located in the front of the building which leads you up into the sanctuary. A small one story kitchen was added to the building (North Side) during the year of 1962. The design concept of the church was influenced and inspired by AM Cohen Temple Church of God in Christ in Miami, Florida. The two-story masonry vernacular building with its illuminated cross, stood tall as a beacon of light to the area, provided a sense of pride and dignity to the community. The stucco covered brick building features a low pitched front gable roof with wall projections at either side of the gable. The wooden brackets, under the roof eaves, run the perimeter of the building with the exception of the front facade. The front facade the wall projections appear straight, but you turn the corner to the side of the building, the architect has designed an 11 12 interesting triangular shape that forms a covered entryway on the ground level. The second floor consist of dual entry doors, which the worshipper would enter after walking up a double stair case. The church is graced to have a stair case in the front as well the back. The stair case has elaborately patterned concrete trellis hand rails and balcony rails. Two large(wood and metal)doors on the second level allows the community of believers to enter to them as the Sanctuary or Place of Worship were they would sing songs and hymns, and worship a higher power. In between the doors still sits to this day an original glass block shaped cross. The church sanctuary is flanked on each side with arched stained glass windows displaying pictures in chronological order of their Christian Faith. When entering the sanctuary there are two identical isles which lead to the altar area. The altar consist of the pulpit where the ministers will proclaim the Sunday morning sermon, and also where the choir would sing the Sunday Morning hymn or song. Both sides of the altar area has offices one for the Pastor to study and another for the Church clerk or secretary. The ceiling has been constructed of cedar and pine wood which hold ceiling fans and houses an AC unit for the worshipping services. Outside of the sanctuary are the originally restrooms. One being for the Men and the other for the Women. The ground or lower level is located directly under the sanctuary. A large set of double doors allow you to enter what was once a nursery for children of the local congregation and the community, many generations have graduated from this nursery over the years. Now, the once nursery is being used as a clothing pantry to help clothed less fortunate families in the community, and offend used to feed individuals in the same community. The ground level has three rooms covered in plaster walls, and tiled floors with a 14'ft ceiling. In the north corner of the lower 12 13 level is a storage closet for cleaning items such as mops, brooms, and etc. Chairs and Tables are also located within this lower level. Chairs and table are here if there is to be some type of church event such as a feeding of the community so people will have proper sitting and able to eat at a table. Towards the very back of the lower level about 10 or 11'ft from the door is where the nursery was located. Young children from the ages of infants to toddlers would come to learn. Several improvements to the church are planned for the future such as an elevator. At this current time many members of the congregation are elderly and can no longer climb the stairs to hear and participate in the services. Sadly, many elderly saints sit alone downstairs while the services are being conducted upstairs. A second enchantment would be re-illumination of the neon cross, along with the name of the church painted back on the front building under the cross as it was originally designed. Even mentioned was a church marque or display sign to tell others about upcoming events taking place at the church. 13 14 VI.

BACKGROUND The subject property is located at 102 SW 12th Avenue on the west side of the SW 12th Street at the corner of SW 1st Street. The property contains a significant example of masonry vemacular religious architecture in the Atlantic Park Gardens Neighborhood of Delray Beach, Florida. The property is zoned RM, multiple family residential (medium density). The subject property that the church owns consists of three lots, the building lot measures 57' x 138', the adjacent lot to the south measures 50' x 138' and the lot behind the church fronting SW 13th Avenue measures 57' x 138'. LDR Section 4.5.1(B), Criteria for Designation of Historic Sites or Districts: Pursuant to Section 4.5.1(B)(1), to qualify as a historic structure, individual 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. To qualify as a historic site, historic district, or historic structure, the property or properties must fulfill one or more of the criteria set forth in division (2) or(3) below;. The subject structure meets the following criteria: (B)(2) Historical or cultural significance: (d) Exemplifies the historical, political, cultural, economic, or social trends of the community in history; The church at 102 SW 12th Avenue meets the above criteria in that since the 1940s it is the first church in this community to support the African American community by assisting migrant workers with a place of worship and a place of refuge for their families in a time of need. Elder Andrew Ridley spent his time traveling to the western farm areas ministering and providing religious leadership to those families who needed transportation, clothing, and food by bringing them to the church for fellowship with the congregation. In the early 1960s the lower level of the church was utilized as a daycare to assist working mothers with a place to house their children while they worked. The daycare became a place to nurture, feed and teach children about the bible and the need to have God in their lives. Today, "the main mission of the church is to enrich all involved by presenting the Word of God and exploring African American worship experience with all cultures and nationalities in a way that will inspire others to want to make significant changes in their life and well-being, be it spiritually, mentally or physically". (B)(3) Architectural or aesthetic significance: (a) Portrays the environment in an era of history characterized by one or more distinctive architectural styles; (b) Embodies those distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style, period, or method of construction; (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. PaN2of3 The unique architectural design and presence of this two-story masonry vernacular style emanating from the 1940's-1950's is significant to the Atlantic Park Gardens community and Delray Beach for the its design, detail, material, and craftsmanship as outlined below: The stucco covered building features a low pitched front gable roof with wall projections at either side of the gable and the roof is covered in shingles. The wooden brackets under the roof eaves follow the perimeter of the building with the exception of the front facade. The front façade wall projections appear straight, but as you turn the corner to the sides of the building, there is an interesting triangular form that covers a recessed entryway on the ground level. The dual entries (at the front and the back of the church) are graced by two story double staircases with elaborately patterned with cast concrete breezeblock hand rails and balcony rails leading to the main upper level. The worshippers enter at the rear of the sanctuary on the second level through two large recessed red doors. In between those doors is an original glass block cross which brings a subdued light into the sanctuary. At the west (rear) side of the exterior of the church building there are double staircases with similar breezeblock hand rails which lead to interior offices flanking the altar. The double staircases are indicative of earlier "Caribbean" style architecture from the islands. See the examples from Barbados, Jamaica, Antilles (figures 1, 2, and 3) attached at the end of this report. In addition, the modular breezeblock material found in the railings is commonly found in the Miami Modern, mid-Century style of architecture from the World War II era, 1945-1960's, and consists of concrete block styles ranging in several sizes and patterns. The modular breezeblock found on the frontal church railings are of two different styles, an "X" pattern, and stacked rectangular concrete blocks arranged in an offset pattern on the both levels. The "X" pattern is found on all railings at the rear elevation of the church. The church sanctuary is flanked by five arched multi-colored stained glass windows. Two additional stained glass windows are located at the altar. The stained glass scenes depict various bible stories. The original coved ceiling is covered in Dade County Pine wood planks and the walls are plaster. Recent additions are the partial wood wall paneling application and enlargement of the altar. Several future improvements to the church are planned such as replacing the damaged lower level windows, painting the church, and the addition of an elevator. At the current time many members of the congregation are elderly and can no longer climb the stairs to participate in the services. An additional enhancement would be re-illumination of the neon cross, along with the name of the church painted on the front building as it originally appeared in documented photographs (see front cover of designation report). The proposed designation meets the intent of the applicable Objective and Policies noted above, as it will provide for the preservation of the subject structure, thereby ensuring the protection of an example of this type of style and building. Further, the comments above illustrate that the request meets the criteria set forth in LDR Section 4.5.1 which provides for the designation of"historically significant buildings." REVIEW BY OTHERS The Historic Preservation Board (HPB) reviewed the subject local designation at their November 18, 2015 meeting and unanimously recommended approval. RECOMMEN DATION Move approval on the first reading of Ordinance No. 01-16 that the property located at 102 SW 12th Avenue be listed on the local register of Historic Places as "Ridley Temple Church of God in Pagt3of3 Christ, Inc.", by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and findings that the request and approval thereof is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Sections 4.5.1(B) and 4.5.1(C) of the Land Development Regulations. • • Memo to the file Phoned Barbara Williams on June 4, 1998 and requested photos of the church (all elevations) and an architectural description, number of seats, choir stall etc. Also more info re Andrew Ridley, where born, when he came to Delray; who was the architect mentioned in her text. Explained that we could go forward with the designation as soon as the above was provided. fr� �.n tj!4 `r_oki', WEST.,,,. • �C(;)A if: I.-:VEST t\A«e • RIDLEY TEMPLE CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST 05/29/98 Ms. Patricia Cayce, Historic Preservation Planner City of Delray Beach 100 N.W. 1st Avenue Delray Beach, FL 33444 Dear Ms. Cayce: Per my telephone conversation with you.

HISTORICAL Ridley Temple is a Church of God in Christ Temple that was founded in the 1940's. Our philosophy is to bring to Delray Beach and surrounding communities enriching programs and activities promoting Gods Word, and the understanding of and appreciation for the African American experience. The name Ridley Temple was chosen in honor of the founder, Andrew Ridley, who was a respected leader in the community. The Church is located in the heart of Carver Estates and is playing an intrinsical role in its revitalization, including providing cultural awareness and a better appreciation for the importance of preserving historical structures which are directly linked to the rich heritage and culture of all persons of African descent in America. Ridley Temple located at 102 S.W. 12th Avenue in Delray Beach was constructed in the 1940's. It is one of the oldest ecclesiastical structures in Delray Beach, Florida. Andrew Ridley, the Founder, along with a local architect designed the church facility. At its completion this brick structure was acclaimed to be the most handsome church in the area and became the corner stone in the black community. This two story structure with its illuminated cross stands tall as a beacon to the area, and provides a sense of dignity and history to the observer. Chronologically speaking, the Church is the most attractive and functional building in the area. It houses a community room with complete kitchen, a dinning area, two classrooms, administrative offices. The upper level is used for worship services and bible studies and the lower level is used as a fellowship hall. The lower level is also a barrier free facility that allows persons with disabilities access. Designation Report 102 S.W. 12th Avenue page 6 IV. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Ridley Temple serves as the host site for meetings, events, etc. for individuals, businesses and community organizations. Patrons of the facility enjoy the historical landmark's location in the heart of Delray Beach. Various activities are being planned for the existing facility that will provide both educational and fundamental needs to the underpriviledged, this includes a soup kitchen and job training and placement. The completed facility will serve as a Resource Cennter that will develop the skills and abilities of our clients providing them with a competitive edge. The resource center's ultimate operational and programming goal is to provide programs and events which will generate proceeds to assist the resource center in becoming a self-sustaining non-profit organization. Our goal is to enrich all involved, by presenting the Word of God and exploring the African-American experience and its many contributions to world culture.
