Delray Beach , FL 33444

111101 The Cason Cottage , c . 1920 , was originally a single gabled
five room vernacular dwellin
g . In 1928 a porte cochere and sun
porch were added . These additions gave the building the more
10111
eclectic and interesting roof line that is noticeable today .
NBuilt of Dade County pine on a brick foundation , Cason Cottage
is clad in its original pine clapboard siding and has its
1001
original chimneycapinplace .
Windows are double hung with
11101 the upper section fashioned of slender , decorative wood
mullions separating the four glass panes . The original roof
POIand eave rafter details add an imaginative feature to the
simple vernacular style . The interior of the house was
11111
constructed with cross ventilation and nine foot
ceilings . It
Nhas Dade County pine floors and three entrances . The entrance
from the porte cochere was a 1928 addition .
11111 The Cason Cottage restoration originated when the City of
Delray Beach acquired the property for re - use as office space .
The Delray Beach Historical Society suggestedCity to the that
11111 with a joint venture lease agreement , the property could become
their office and archival center as well as a house museum for
IMOthe City . The arrangement was agreed upon ; the City committed
$ 44 , 900 and the Historical Society $ 10 , 000 . . . and thus at a
11101
total cost of $ 54 , 900 , the Cason Cottage Museum came to life .

The exterior was in remarkably good condition . Three
o ther dwellings on the site of the Cason family compound were
demolished due to neglect and deterioration . The interior was
i
in a deplorable state . The restoration required that 22 new
windows be duplicated to match the originals and a new roof was
installed . All rotted wood was replaced and doors rehung . An
d
e xtensive site improvement and landscaping plan was
implemented .
This project is a small budget example of adaptive re -
u se . In addition to housing the office , archives and museum of
the Historical Society , it is a restoration demonstration for
property owners in the City ' s historic districts . The Historic
Preservation Board hopes to establish a library for property
owners seeking restoration information .
Opened in January of 1989 , Cason Cottage has had an
e nthusiastic response from the community . The Cottage ' s first
exhibit was of original cartoons produced by three world famous
cartoonists who had winter studios in Delray during the 1930s
and 1940s . The second attraction , an exhibit for children
sponsored by the Dreher Park Zoo , included a tour of Cason
Cottage . A new show , opening in September , " The Art of
Architecture " , will feature drawings and photographs of the
11111 work of architects who shaped South Florida ' s built
e nvironment .
Cason Cottage , located within the local Old School Square
Historic District , and across the street from Old School Square
Cultural Arts Center , is in a relatively blighted area , but
i • serves as a beacon of " what can be done " .
F
While promoting awareness of Delray Beach history to the
public at large , it is also generating a great deal of
unexpected tourist visits . The success of this project depended
upon :
THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH :
Doak Campbell , Mayor , and the City Commissioners
Lula Butler , Director Community Improvement
William V . Ayers , City Project Coordinator
Nancy Davila , City Horticulturist
Charles Jarvis , First Palm Beach Construction Co .
DELRAY BEACH HISTORICAL SOCIETY :
Rose Sloan , President , and the Board of Governors
Marjorie Miller , Executive Director
Marcia Love and JoAnn Peart , Co - Chairmen , and the Members
of the Cason Cottage Committee

The opening evening was filled with nostalgia
and the good works of these women and others . The
city , which purchased the property and refurbished
the house before the Historical Society took over,
was well represented by officials and staff mem-
bers .
'lb top off the good will , Bill Wallace and the
Delray Beach Automobile Dealers Association pre-
sented $ 10 , 000 to help support the Cason Cottage and
r
to underwrite the Historical Society 's next big fund-
_ raiser.
The excitement continued the following day at a
Pioneer Tea — also to benefit the new museum .
Chairman Carolyn Helm was hostess along with
Nancy Merritt . Crinoline and lace-clad daughters of
committee members also welcomed guests . The
following week , New York cartoon authority and
Delray native Georgia de Havenon spoke on the lives
of the four cartoonists .
The museum is now open Tuesday through Satur-
day from 10 a . m . to 3 p . m . Admission is free, with
donations encouraged . For more information con-

• • INTRODUCTION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Introduction
Whether or not a commission follows correct parliamentary procedure can make the difference between
whether or not a decision stands if challenged : in short , whether or not historic resources are lost or ar-
chitectural integrity is compromised . Unfortunately , many commissions unwittingly fail to follow correct
procedures because , at first blush , they may seem intimidating , complex , and onerous . Upon closer ex-
amination , however , parliamentary procedures are really straight-forward and easy to comprehend . Fol -
lowing them not only helps ensure that decisions are defendable , it also helps ensure that meetings run
Ismoothly and efficiently , and that accurate minutes can be produced in a timely manner . Remember , if
an appeal goes to court , the judge won ' t care what the decision was ; the judge will care how it was
made .
How a commission fares in a court of law isn ' t the only reason to follow the rules . If a commission is fas-
tidious in following correct parliamentary procedure and transparent in its actions , it is far more likely to
win in the court of public opinion . For some reason people just seem reassured when they can see that
a deliberative , quasi -judicial body established for the purpose of telling them what they can and can ' t do
to their property isn ' t just making it up as it goes along .
Even though a commission ' s chair usually fills the role of parliamentarian , all commission members and
staff should have a working knowledge of parliamentary procedure . When new commissioners are ap -
pointed , part of their orientation should be a review of parliamentary procedure and an explanation as to
why the commission follows it . Periodically assessing how well you are following the rules can help pre -
✓ ent or correct deviating from them before problems occur . New commissioner orientation is an excel -

2 . Make your motion :
a . Speak in a clear and concise manner . Most importantly , BE COURTEOUS .
b . Always state a motion affirmatively . Say , " I move that we . . . " rather than , " I move that we
do not . . . " .
c . Avoid personalities and stay on your subject .
3 . Wait for someone to second your motion or the Chair to call for a second .
4 . If there is no second to your motion , it is lost and may not move forward .
5 . If there is a second , the Chair states your motion .
- a . The Chair will say , " it has been moved and seconded that we . . . " thus placing your mo-
tion before the membership for consideration and action .
b . The members then either debate your motion , or may move directly to a vote .
c . Once your motion is presented to the members by the Chair it becomes " commission
property" , and cannot be changed by you without the consent of the members .
6 . Expanding on your motion :
a . The time for you to speak in favor of your motion is at this point in time , rather than at
the time you present it . • •
