J FROM: avid J. Kovacs, Dir ctor Department of Planning and Zoning DATE: February 15, 1990 SUBJECT: Historic Marker Site @ Mt. Olive In response to your request for comments on Joe ' s memo of February 12th; I have no input. The Historic Preservation Board is acting in-lieu of the CAB with respect to the landscaping. Thus, Spence'can relate the change to the HPB. As you noted, Nancy Davila should comment on the appropriateness of selected plantings. There is no additional processing at this end as we will simply attach the final landscape design to the Mt. Olive project file.

Barcinski, Assistant City Manager From: Nancy Davila, Horticulturist/Special Projects Coordinator Re: HISTORIC MARKER SITE AT MOUNT OLIVE CHURCH Date: February 22, 1990 I have inspected the site proposed for the Historic Marker Site on N.W. 5th Avenue in connection with Mount Olive Church and agree with Joe Weldon that a ground cover other than sod should be installed to reduce maintenance. I would recommend that the 'low ornamentals' proposed adjacent to the wrought iron fence be something such as Variegated Pittosporum which can easily be maintained at a height of 30 inches and that the area originally proposed for sod should utilize a very low ground cover such as the Parsons' Juniper. There are many combinations of low hedging and ground cover that would be appropriate. I would be happy to give the Church the pros and cons to any selections they might consider. c: Joe Weldon + C ,, I Pat Cayce pp. CD Dave Kovacs Lula Butler 2 2 90 CO MM sks GRovP 2l 22A° • 47544,1 D •d#40.4 460,4444 0/1) .1 L4j Z'• ,414•b 41*.

Comments : -3- CITY COMMISSION DOCUMENTATION TO: CHERYL LEVERETT, ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT III ICE OF THE CITY CLERK (:::: ) \ q FROM: DA ID J. OVAC , DIRECTOR DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND ZONING SUBJECT: REGULAR MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 1990 NAMING OF "MINI-PARK" ASSOCIATED WITH "THE FIVE SITES" HISTORIC MARKER ACTION REQUESTED OF THE COMMISSION: The action requested of the City Commission is that of officially naming the small ( 378 sq. ft. ) area at the southwest corner of the Greater Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church 5th Avenue parking lot. The requested name is "B.F. James and Frances Jane Bright Park" . BACKGROUND: The naming is requested by representatives of The Community Churches of Delray Beach United. The request has been reviewed by the Historic Preservation Board and it has endorsed the naming. The selected name represents the first two teachers of School No. 4 , Delray Colored. The "mini-park" is actually on land owned by Mt. Olive Baptist Church upon which the City has obtained an easement for the purpose of erecting a historic marker. As a part of the easement agreement, the City has agreed to provide perpetual maintenance of landscaping improvements which are to be installed by others. ISSUE: The City Commission does not have a formal policy for the naming of facilities. In this case, the facility is not an official City park but is only the site of a historic marker. Having the concept of the site being a "mini-park" by naming it as a "park" may be misleading. As an alternative to the requested action, it may be appropriate to name the site as "The Five Sites Historic Marker" dedicated to B.F. James and Frances Jane Bright.

MEMORANDUM RECEIVED FEB 1 2 90 TO: Robert A. Barcinski Assistant City Manager COMM.SVCS,GROUP FROM: Joe Weldon Director of Parks and Recreation SUBJECT: Proposed Historical Marker Site Design - Mount Olive Baptist Church DATE: February 12, 1990 I met with Mr. Pompey concerning the proposed historical marker site at Mount Olive Baptist Church. It is my understanding the funds for this project are being raised in the private sector with requests for the City to maintain the property. If the City assumes the maintenance responsibility I recommend the replacement of sod with a ground cover that will greatly reduce maintenance time. Also, Mr. Pompey has requested use of tables , chairs and podium for the ground breaking on February 25th.

At the meeting of July 14. 1988 the HPB discussed the proposed district. It was determined that the area did not meet the criteria for designation as most of the important cultural institutions, with the exception of St. Matthew Episcopal Church, were no longer housed in their original structures. Many other buildings, constructed before 1943 , were so altered that they could not be considered as "contributing" to a district. Additionally, the ratio of non-contribuiting to contributing buildings was too great to justify district designation. The HPB also decided that the area was too large and the contributing buildings too far apart to make a district managable. As an alternative to the district designation the HPB recommended that buildings built before 1943 be considered on an individual basis and be designated as local historic structures, or sites of original structures. Spencer Pompey volunteered to begin a list of buildings to be designated and to work with the black community leaders to suggest additional buildings or sites. The Board decided to consider these designations as a group so that an area directory map could be erected on N.W. 5th Avenue. In conjunction with the marker map a printed give away map was suggested to encourage walking or driving tours. After a great deal of research and consultation with others in the community Spencer Pompey presented the HPB with a documented designation report for the following four sites and one building: St. Paul A.M.E. Church, 119 N.W. 5th Avenue Free and Accepted Masons, 85 N.W. 5th Avenue Greater Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church, 40 N.W. 4th Avenue School No. 4 Colored, N.W. 5th Avenue The above were listed as "sites" because all the original buildings were demolished and rebuilt at the same location with the exception of the school which was not rebuilt. i St. Matthew Episcopal Church, 404 S.E. 3rd Street The Church, built in 1926 and almost in original condition, was to be designated as an historic building. The Vestry Committee of the Church, which was without a pastor at the time, originally agreed to the designation. However, the Episcopal Diocese in Miami, owner of the property, reviewed the proposal and declined to have the building listed but agreed to the "site" designation. The HPB could have insisted on the designation but it was felt that for the sake of community relations to accept the "site" proposal. 300 ' radius letters were mailed on February 6, 1989 and the notice was published in the Delray News on the same date. On February 17, 1989 the HPB held a public hearing for the purpose of gaining public imput on the designation. The HPB voted at the hearing to approve the designation. On April 11, 1989 the City Commission passed Ordinance NO 18-89 designating the five historic sites.

The Commission is to consider approval of the workshop agenda for August 1 , 1989 . Upon question by Ms . McCarty, the City Attorney advised there are three items on the agenda. Interim City Manager Barcinski stated the Commission had requested agenda items be voted on, but did not adopt the local rules tonight , so he is placing that before the Commission. He also stated that Mr. Spence would like to add another item, which is a discussion of policy handling changeovers on construction projects. Mr. Weatherspoon moved for approval adding the additional item, seconded by Ms. McCarty. Upon roll call the Commission voted as fol- lows : Mr. Andrews - Yes; Ms . McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. 43. Request for Funding - Historic Markers. The Commission is to consider approval of funding in the amount of $2 , 000 from the Historic Preservation Board accounts for the purpose of erecting an historic sites marker on the S .W. corner ofsthe Mt. Olive Baptist Church parking lot located at the corner of N.W. 5th Avenue and N.W. 1st Street. Alice Finst , representing the Historic Preservation officer, stated the original request for funding was from the General Fund. Apparently, the $1 , 000 allocation was made from the reserve fund, which is earmarked for markers. The remaining $1 ,000 came from a donation fund , which was supposedly to be used to fund conferences , compile historical research, make TV documentaries for school children and to attract other contributors to make donations to the Preservation effort. Comments were made stating it would be inappropriate to use this money and apply it to a marker when it really is a City marker and should not be allocated from a fund earmarked specifically for donations . -29- 7/25/89 Mr. Weatherspoon stated he feels since it was donated money, unless it came from one individual, it is community money being used for a community project. Mrs. Finst stated the feeling seemed to be that it is not a community project, but rather for de City as a whole. This marker does not have a consensus group around it in the sense of private individuals wishing to produce it, but rather an historic nature that will benefit the entire City. Upon question by Ms. McCarty as to the purpose of the money donated for historic purposes, Mrs. Finst stated that it apparently it is not to be used for a Community project. Mayor Campbell stated he feels if the money should ever be exhausted and additional money is needed, the Commission would be more than happy to support that. He does not mind if the money comes from the General Fund. Ms. McCarty stated she would prefer that it come from the Historic Preservation Board Account and if more is needed, then the Commission could reimburse that fund. Mrs. Finst stated this is just for the marker and there may be other requests to improve the grounds around the marker. Ms. McCarty advised that the grounds would not necessarily be a preservation item, so other sources of funding could be looked at. Mrs. Finst requested that she be able to speak on Item No. 54. on the Consent Agenda. She stated the two buildings referred to have been of concern to the Preservation Board and they are requesting that the abatement be delayed until further action by the Preservation Board. Ms. McCarty moved for approval of the request for funding for Historic markers, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon.

Avenue, keeping the-, dual name in perpetuity, seconded by Ms. McCarty Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Andrews - No; Ms. "ainerd - Yes; Ms . McCarty - No; Mr. Weatherspoon - No; Mayor Campkal_ - No. Said motion ' FAILED with a 4 to 1 vote. Before roll call the following discussion was had: Mr. Weatherspoon questioned the logic for including thir street. Mary Ldu Strollo, Executive Director of Old School Squ,_ _e stated they had a request from a business on 2nd Avenue because pe, 1 'gave trouble finding it. Upon question by Mr. Weatherspoon if S.E. t 2'-d and 4th Avenues are to remain as they are now, the City Man e.. r plied that they are. Mr. Weatherspoon was of the opinion that the , esidents who spoke in opposition to the name change should be giver a: ch consideration as the one businessman who requested it be change. . At this point the roll was called to the motion. 11 .1 . Jay Slavin, Rainberry Bay, stated she would like to acknowledge the response she received on the upgrading and progress report on the funds for beautification, with a special thanks to Dave Huddleston foi his explanation of how the Utility Tax money is used. She feels this report should be made available to the public. She also feels the City is lagging in the beautification of Lake Ida Road west and requests that, at such time when Congress Avenue is complete, that sod be placed from the curb to the sidewalk. 11 .2 . Teri Gautier stated, after appearing before the Commission on April 25th, she now has a thorough understanding of what the City expects relative to business signs. She suggested that it might be helpful to the Licensing Department of the City, if they offered a list of preferred sign consultants to new businesses coming to Delray. , �r 11 . 3. Alice Finst and Spenser Pompey, representing the Preservation Board, stated they would like to discuss a sign in the Historic District of the black community. Their request is that they be able to use $1 , 000 from the budget for signage that was approved by the Commission in April of 1989 , and apply it toward expenses of installing a marker. She also requested they be permitted a waiver of the permit fee for the signage. Discussion followed with regard to a drawing presented fo_ viewing by the Commission. Mayor Campbell advised this request will b( taken under consideration. 11 .4 . Pete Bowen, 116 Marine Way, stated he was a member of the Task Force on Parks and Open Space and, even though it was to be a to' priority, there was no mention of providing extra parking on the n )rt end of the beach. There have been several prior requests that ,., rnm.ission complete the Comprehensive Plan, place their priorities then make. up the bond issue, but it seems both are being done at `'. same time and its a mess.

The Board has requested that this item be placed on the City Commission agenda for the June 27, 1989 meeting. On April 11, 1989 the City Commission passed Ordinance NO 18-89 designating five historic sites in the Black Community. Spencer Pompey and several other community leaders have suggested that a bronze marker be erected by the City to be a permanent and visible reminder of the contributions made by the early Black settlers to Delray Beach. The Historic Preservation Board has researched the manufacture, design, text, size, installation, location and cost for this marker. They are as follows: Manufacture: Well Done Signs of Pompano Beach, see attached. Design: Locator Map, Text, City Logo. Text and Map: See attached. Size: 24" X 36" . The marker will be mounted 42" high with the face sloping to 32" from ground level. Installation: To be done by Well Done Signs. Location: S.W. corner of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church parking lot. This is a central site facing N.W. 5th Avenue, approximately 200 ' south of N.W. 1st St. The site is sodded, fenced, irrigated and has an existing tree which will serve as a natural landscaping feature to the marker. Cost: $2 , 000 Spencer Pompey and Alice Finst have spoken to Mayor Doak Campbell about the marker. He was enthusiastic in his support and felt the Commission should vote to approve the funds for its comple- tion and installation. • zorn ciz. of . . DATE: 7-21-89 JOI1C,y CPOtt Alice- An item to approve the funding of the marker for the Mt . Olive Church is on the agenda for July 25th . I 35 . Workshop Agenda. The Commission is to consider approval of the workshop agenda for August 1, 1989 . Upon question by Ms . McCarty, the City Attorney advised there are three items on the agenda. Interim City Manager Barcinski stated the Commission had requested agenda items be voted on, but did not adopt the local rules tonight, so he is placing that before the Commission. He also stated that Mr. Spence would like to add another item, which is a discussion of policy handling changeovers on construction projects . Mr. Weatherspoon moved for approval adding the additional item, seconded by Ms. McCarty. Upon roll call the Commission voted as fol- lows : Mr. Andrews - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. 43 . Request for Funding - Historic Markers . The Commission is to consider approval of funding in the amount of $2 , 000 from the Historic Preservation Board accounts for the purpose of erecting an historic sites marker on the S .W. corner of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church parking lot located at the corner of N.W. 5th Avenue and N.W. 1st Street. Alice Finst, representing the Historic Preservation officer, stated the original request for funding was from the General Fund. Apparently, the $1 , 000 allocation was made from the reserve fund, which is earmarked for markers. The remaining $1 , 000 came, from a donation fund , which was supposedly to be used to fund conferences, compile historical research, make TV documentaries for school children and to attract other contributors to make donations to the Preservation effort. Comments were made stating it would be inappropriate to use this money and apply it to a marker when it really is a City marker and should not be allocated from a fund earmarked specifically for donations. Mr. Weatherspoon stated he feels since it was donated money, unless it came from one individual , it is community money being used for a community project. Mrs. Finst stated the feeling seemed to be that it is not a community project, but rather for the City as a whole. This marker does not have a consensus group around it in the sense of private individuals wishing to produce it, but rather an historic nature that will benefit the entire City. Upon question by Ms. McCarty as to the purpose of the money donated for historic purposes, Mrs. Finst stated that apparently it is not to be used for a Community project. Mayor Campbell stated he feels if the money should ever be exhausted and additional money is needed, the Commission would be more than happy to support that. He does not mind if the money comes from the General Fund. Ms . McCarty stated she would prefer that it come from the Historic Preservation Board Account and if more is needed, then the Commission could reimburse that fund. Mrs. Finst stated this is just for the marker and there may be other requests to improve the grounds around the marker. Ms . McCarty advised that the grounds would not necessarily be a preservation item, so other sources of funding could be looked at. Mrs. Finst requested that she be able to speak on Item No. 54. on the Consent Agenda. She stated the two buildings referred to have been of concern to the Preservation Board and they are requesting that the abatement be delayed until further action by the Preservation Board. Ms . McCarty moved for approval of the request for funding for Historic markers, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Andrews - Yes; Ms . McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes . Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. -17- 7/25/89 r . ` k CITY OF DELRAY BEACH . pp,,,,:b\,_ Yty 100 N.W.1st AVT� • 1 ` DE LRK BEA'CH,FL R JA 33444 407/243-7000 ,. ..., 04% "Y \\V cdP9 -,,,'- .,:5411 'MEMORANDUM s TO: STAN WEEDON, ASST.

The award will be presented at the Florida Trust ' s Awards Ceremony in St . Augustine on May 18 , 1995 . James-Bright Park, located in the 100 block of N.W. 5th Avenue, is situated on the site of the city' s first school and is appropriately named for its first two teachers, B.J. James and Frances Jane Bright . The park commemorates five original buildings which no longer exist but whose cultural institutions remain on their historic sites. These sites serve as a reminder of the significant role played by the city' s black pioneers in the development of the community. The following are the five historic sites commemorated at the park: School No . 4, Delray Colored, founded 1895; Greater Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church, founded 1896; St . Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church, founded 1897 ; The Free and Accepted Masons Lodge 275 , founded 1899; St . Matthew Episcopal Church, founded 1911 . (continued on page -2-) PrintedanRec led ar THE EFFORT ALWAYS MATTERS Y� Page -2- P.R. 9-95 James-Bright Park Award James-Bright Park was officially opened on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, January 16 , 1995 . The small, intimate park was designed by the local architectural firm of Elizabeth Debs and Ralph Cantin. It is enclosed by coquina finished walls, pavers, planters and a bench creating the feeling of a small, urban, outdoor museum. Hand cut-work bronzed aluminum panels depict the symbols of the five organizations. A large panel at the entrance has a lacy cut-work of leaves representing the agricultural beginnings of the community. A domed gate leads to the Mt. Olive Church property which was recently refurbished. An informational panels explains the history of the five sites. "The overall design with its powerful and imaginative use of symbolism presents a striking interpretation of history, " says Historic Preservation Planner Pat Cayce who nominated James-Bright Park for the award. "However, the true significance of the park lies in its historical association with the pioneering families in the black community and the institutions they fostered under the most adverse conditions. " For more information call Pat Cayce at 243-7284. - 30 - 1 PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: DAVID T.

However, as none of the categories seemed to fit exactly, we hope the Awards Jury will consider it as "new construction within an historic context" . The B.J. James and Frances Jane Bright Park commemorates original buildings which no longer exist but whose cultural institutions remain on their historic sites . These sites constitute a valued and venerated part of the history of the City' s black pioneers and serve as a reminder of the significant role they played in the development of the community. Situated on the site of the first school in the City, the Park is appropriately named for its first two teachers . it ************************************************* A i In 1894 the area we know as Delray Beach was a jungle of scrub E. pine, saw palmetto and stunted sea grape heavily infested with mosquitos, snakes, gnats and alligators. In the same year - William S . Linton, Postmaster of Saginaw, Michigan, saw an ad _ offering acreage for sale in the area. Accompanied by Henry 1 Swinton, Linton' s friend from Saginaw, the two traveled to 1 It Florida to see for themselves the undeveloped area which was promoted as an excellent buy for investors . Liking what he saw, in spite of the snakes and alligators, Linton purchased 160 acres $25 per acre with the intention of starting a town. 11 That same year, black families from the Panhandle of Florida arrived in the area, purchased land from Henry Flagler' s Model F. Land Company and settled west of the acreage bought by Linton. Led by Fagan and Jane Monroe, these pioneering black families persuaded other relatives and friends to join them in their homesteading efforts between 1894 and 1896 . 111 William Linton returned to Saginaw, intent on finding a group to follow him to Florida to establish his new town. With surprising . L success, Linton returned a year later leading a small party of settlers to begin a new life in the wilderness . On arrival they found that the black families had not only harvested a winter ' I crop, but had petitioned the County School Board to establish a school for their children. EL , Pleased with their success in establishing the first school in the area, these pioneering black families moved quickly to take Iii, advantage of Henry Flagler' s land dedications for cultural institutions . Within a brief period of time they established in addition to the school, the following three churches and the L town' s first civic association: School No . 4, Delray Colored, founded 1895 IL Greater Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church, founded 1896 St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church, founded 1897 The Free and Accepted Masons Lodge 275 , founded 1899 ILSt. Matthew Episcopal Church, founded 1911 B.F. James and Frances J. Bright Park Page 2 - It is interesting to note that three of these sites are within one block of the schoolhouse site. St. Matthew which was the IIIII youngest of the early institutions is several blocks away in the southern section of the black settlement. All of these institutions remain on their original sites with the exception of the school, which was abandoned by the County School Board when the school was moved to a new and larger location in the City during the 1930s . However, with the growth of these institutions and subsequent remodeling and new construction, none of the buildings is historic, with the exception of St. Matthew's, whose existing building was constructed in 1926 . - - In order to recognize and make future generations aware of the history of these early institutions the Historic Preservation Board recommended designating them as historic sites, though the school had become a parking lot, and only one of the buildings t qualified as historic. In 1989 the City approved the designation of the five historic sites to the Local Register of Historic Places . Shortly after the designation an easement agreement was executed with Mt. Olive Church to allow the City to use a ill. portion of their parking lot, where the first school stood, as the Park site. A dedication ceremony was held on February 25, 1990 and a bronze marker-map was installed. Due to lack of funds 11 only the bronze marker, sodding and a hedge delineated the Park. As the Park gained recognition and was officially listed on the Florida Black Heritage Trail, it became apparent that funds must be allocated to complete the memorial. In 1994 the local _ architectural firm of Elizabeth Debs and Ralph Cantin was chosen to design the Park, which officially opened on Martin Luther 11. King Jr. Day, January 16, 1995 . Only 22 by 16 feet, the Park is small and intimate. Enclosed by coquina finished walls, pavers, planters and a bench it creates lk the feeling of a small urban outdoor museum. Hand cut-work bronzed aluminum panels depict the symbols of the five organizations . A large panel at the entrance has a lacy cut-work L of leaves representing the agricultural beginnings of the community. A domed gate leads to the Mt. Olive Church property which has recently been refurbished. The original bronze marker li is the centerpiece of the park and is now appropriately mounted as an integral part of the Park' s rear wall . A large, tasteful informational panel explains the history of the five sites . We hope the Awards Jury will consider the unique nature of the - Park. The overall design with its powerful and imaginative use of symbolism combined with the quality and craftsmanship of the metal work presents a striking interpretation of history. But despite its moving and sculptural beauty, the true significance of the Park lies in its historical association with the pioneering families in the black community and the institutions IL they fostered under the most adverse conditions .

John Johnson, Director of Historic Palm Beach County Preservation Board and one of the Trust Award jurists, felt that the slides I included with the nomination packet left something to be desired. John thought that the aluminum cut-work panels did not clearly show the details of the symbols representing the institutions being honored. He suggested that we put paper behind the panels and photograph them again so that the silhouette is more clearly visible. He also suggested that we have a person in the picture to denote the scale of the park, and that we photograph the face of the bronze marker. We took John' s suggestions, and I think the results are a definite improvement in depicting the details of the park. I phoned Cindi Hardin and she suggested I send the slides directly to you as you are currently preparing the video. If you can include the "new and improved" photos I think it will show our project to a better advantage. Ralph, thanks for your help. I look forward to seeing you in St. Augustine.

Box 115701 Gainesville, FL 32611-5701 Dear Ralph, I sent a nomination package for the B.F. James and- Frances Bright Park for the Florida Trust awards program. The package is complete as is, but if possible I would like to add three "before" photos of the project to the slide presentation. The City had only three "before" photographs but the before and after is quite dramatic. Unfortunately, the three photos did not get processed into slides in time to include them in the nominating package. I left spaces in the sleeve for the three slides to be inserted and added them to the numbering system by designating them with an "A" on the reference page. The application is complete without them but more persuasive with them. I hope that they can be used, but if you can't include them just cross out the three "A" items on the slide reference page. Here' s a photo of you taken at the Ft. Myers conference, not very good, but I thought you might want it even after all this time. Looking forward to seeing you in St. Augustine in May. Sincerely, Patricia Cayce Historic Preservation Planner ��,. d THE EFFORT ALV AYS MATTERS �.dJ Printe on AocyGad Paper r ' THE B.J. JAMES AND FRANCES JANE BRIGHT PARK This is an unconventional nomination to the category of Non-Residential Restoration/Rehabilitation. However, as none of the categories seemed to fit exactly, we hope the Awards Jury will consider it as "new construction within an historic context" . The B.J. James and Frances Jane Bright Park commemorates original buildings which no longer exist but whose cultural institutions remain on their historic sites . These sites constitute a valued and venerated part of the history of the City' s black pioneers and serve as a reminder of the significant role they played in the development of the community. Situated on the site of the first school in the City, the Park is appropriately named for its first two teachers . ************************************************* In 1894 the area we know as Delray Beach was a jungle of scrub pine, saw palmetto and stunted sea grape heavily infested with mosquitos, snakes, gnats and alligators . In the same year William S. Linton, Postmaster of Saginaw, Michigan, saw an ad offering acreage for sale in the area. Accompanied by Henry Swinton, Linton' s friend from Saginaw, the two traveled to Florida to see for themselves the undeveloped area which was promoted as an excellent buy for investors . Liking what he saw, in spite of the snakes and alligators, Linton purchased 160 acres $25 per acre with the intention of starting a town. That same year, black families from the Panhandle of Florida arrived in the area, purchased land from Henry Flagler's Model Land Company and settled west of the acreage bought by Linton. Led by Fagan and Jane Monroe, these pioneering black families persuaded other relatives and friends to join them in their homesteading efforts between 1894 and 1896 . William Linton returned to Saginaw, intent on finding a group to follow him to Florida to establish his new town. With surprising success, Linton returned a year later leading a small party of settlers to begin a new life in the wilderness . On arrival they found that the black families had not only harvested a winter crop, but had petitioned the County School Board to establish- a school for their children. Pleased with their success in establishing the first school in the area, these pioneering black families moved quickly to take advantage of Henry Flagler' s land dedications for cultural institutions . Within a brief period of time they established in addition to the school, the following three churches and the town' s first civic association: School No. 4 , Delray Colored, founded 1895 Greater Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church, founded 1896 St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church, founded 1897 The Free and Accepted Masons Lodge 275, founded 1899 St. Matthew Episcopal Church, founded 1911 B.F. James and Frances J. Bright Park Page 2 It is interesting to note that three of these sites are within one block of the schoolhouse site. St. Matthew which was the youngest of the early institutions is several blocks away in the southern section of the black settlement. All of these institutions remain on their original sites with the exception of the school, which was abandoned by the County School Board when the school was moved to a new and larger location in the City during the 1930s. However, with the growth of these institutions and subsequent remodeling and new construction, none of the buildings is historic, with the exception of St. Matthew' s, whose existing building was constructed in 1926 . In order to recognize and make future generations aware of the history of these early institutions the Historic Preservation Board recommended designating them as historic sites, though the school had become a parking lot, and only one of the buildings qualified as historic. In 1989 the City approved the designation of the five historic sites to the Local Register of Historic Places . Shortly after the designation an easement agreement was executed with Mt. Olive Church to allow the City to use a portion of their parking lot, where the first school stood, as the Park site. A dedication ceremony was held on February 25, 1990 and a bronze marker-map was installed. Due to lack of funds only the bronze marker, sodding and a hedge delineated the Park. As the Park gained recognition and was officially listed on the Florida Black Heritage Trail, it became apparent that funds must be allocated to complete the memorial. In 1994 the local architectural firm of Elizabeth Debs and Ralph Cantin was chosen to design the Park, which officially opened on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, January 16, 1995 . Only 22 by 16 feet, the Park is small and intimate. Enclosed by coquina finished walls, pavers, planters and a bench it creates the feeling of a small urban outdoor museum. Hand cut-work bronzed aluminum panels depict the symbols of the five organizations . A large panel at the entrance has a lacy cut-work of leaves representing the agricultural beginnings of the community. A domed gate leads to the Mt. Olive Church property which has recently been refurbished. The original bronze marker is the centerpiece of the park and is now appropriately mounted as an integral part of the Park' s rear wall. A large, tasteful informational panel explains the history of the five sites . We hope the Awards Jury will consider the unique nature of the Park. The overall design with its powerful and imaginative use of symbolism combined with the quality and craftsmanship of the metal work presents a striking interpretation of history. But despite its moving and sculptural beauty, the true significance of the Park lies in its historical association with the pioneering families in the black community and the institutions they fostered under the most adverse conditions .

PRESENT USE , CONDITION AND ZONING V. IMPACT VI . RESOLUTION Revised I . PURPOSE The purposes of designating the following sites and building to the Delray Beach Local Register of Historical Places are to appropriately note and recognize and thereby enrich the history of the total Delray Beach Community ; most importantly to develop a deeper and a more sensitive appreciation of the cultural , religious , economic and educational contribution of Blacks that gave early Delray Beach a much needed sense of permanence and kindled a high sense of community belonging , togetherness and understanding . II. LOCATION These sites are located in what is one of the oldest and most permanent sectors of Delray Beach-the Western Sector , bounded on the East by North West and South West First Avenue , the West by North West Eighth Avenue , the North by Lake Ida Road and the South by South West Fourth Street. This sector was settled principally by Blacks when it was the part of North Dade County. It was in this Sector that the first and most permanent institutions were established- homes , schools and churches . Indeed , a compact six or eight block area , lying north of Atlantic Avenue to Northwest Third Street-Blocks 3 ,5 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ,27 ,28 - is where the basic educational , religious and fraternal and business institutions and ventures were started , even before it was incorporated as Linton in 1895. Much of Delray Beach' s history and beginnings are found in this area . III. HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE *`SCHOOL NO. 4 DELRAY COLORED,' October, 1895 Proposed Local Historic Site According to the County School Records during the 1894-1909 period when Palm Beach County was part of Dade County , Blacks who had come and settled in this area , petitioned Superintendent C. H. Lum for a school and a teacher in 1894. Because there was no place to house the school - a requirement at that time-the school did not open until October , 1895. B. F. James opened the four month school term in a thatched hut on 5th Avenue , a part of which is the west parking lot of Greater Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church. The official school record reveals this about that lot : " Linton-1894 , Delray Colored- 1895 , Delray Training School -1914-39. " A historical marker designation for this site is most • appropriate . One of the more arresting aspects of this venture was that the petitioners made provisions for educating their children before purchasing land for building churches. The school has a strong feeling in the Black community - even today. OE Revised III. HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE ( Cont' d. ) GREATER MOUNT OLIVE MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH, 1986 40 Northwest 4th Avenue Proposed Local Historic Site - Organized in 1896 , Trustees Albert Cohen , Ed Chambers and Fagan Henry on behalf of the Mt. Olive membership purchased Lot 7 in Block 28 from the Model Land Company on January 26 , 1898. It is the third oldest church in Palm Beach County, the oldest in Delray Beach. Mt . Olive constructed a frame edifice on said lot before purchase and shared it with the African Methodist Flock , organized a year later; it shared its copious facility for the school commencement exercises , and recently purchased the lot where the school was opened in 1895. ST. PAUL AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, 1897 119 Northwest Fifth Avenue Proposed Local Historic Site Organized in the Jane and Fagan Henry Packing House on the corner Northwest Third Avenue and Second Street ( now Martin Luther King , Jr . Drive) as the - African Methodist Episcopal Church , Trustees Moses Baker , George Hanna and Jesse Cole purchased Lot 1 , Block 28 from the Model Land Company on October 13 , 1899. It shared the edifice of Mt. Olive as Mt . Tabor A.M. E. Church until it purchased Lot 1 in Block 27 from George and Josie Green and built a church there as St. Paul A.M. E. on August 30 , 1911 , having sold Lot 1 , Block 28 to the Free Accepted Masons January in 1904. FREE AND ACCEPTED MASONS, LODGE 275 85 Northwest Fifth Avenue Proposed Local Historic Site Organized in 1899, the Free Accepted Masons purchased Lot 1 , Block 28 from the African Methodist Episcopal Church and filed claim on OCTOBER 11 , 1904 , with Trustees George H. Green , George Hanna and Jesse Cole " party of the first part and Robert B. Wilson , James Monroe and D. Campbell and their successors party of the second part . " Masonic Lodge 275 is one of the oldest fraternal organizations in South Florida , and is located on the very same lot. ST. MATTHEW EPISCOPAL CHURCH 404 Southwest 3rd Street Proposed Local Historic Site Organized in 1911 , the year Delray Beach was incorporated , it is one of the first Black churches erected South of Atlantic Avenue , especially for communicants from the Bahamas Islands. - As a structure , built in 1916 , it has the major trimmings and architectural design for the Anglican Episcopal services. One of its founding members is Mrs. Susie Russell . ( l Revised IV. & V. PRESENT USE AND IMPACT These sites that played such a vital and stabilizing part in the early history and development of Delray Beach , and have an abiding and lasting residue of pride of and respect for efforts of many of the pioneering Blacks , need to be designated by appropriate historical markers , so that their real meaning may be demonstrably shown to and appreciated by the more recent residents here . This is especially needed and required today as Delray Beach embarks on and engages in the much needed efforts to realize the goals enunciated in Visions 2000 in all sectors and sections of the city. The ravages of time , circumstance and opportunity and the demands for change to meet the future needs and desires have destroyed and are likely to replace much that was original ; leaving in far too many ' instances the land- the sites . Understandably, progress has forced - changes in the structures of two of the churches and the Masonic Hall and the first school has long since moved . Dare we forget the places and sites on and for which many of the early pioneers living in this sector struggled and shared in giving our city shape and form , stability , foresight and vision ! Dare we attempt to rekindle and stir anew the spirit of togetherness and community uplift that made for struggling but steadying progress in the early years and which is needed in meeting the even more complex and varying demands of today and tomorrow! . These markers and designations are deserving of historical notice on their merit and sufficiency , but have additional value at this time . They will serve as a precursory stimulant for those in this sector and in the total community to give added and favorable effort to preserve and to improve this sector and thus enrich the entire community . Preserving the old and blending it with the new and accepting both with dignity and grace require and demand positive and forthright commitment and action . (:. II i IV. & V. PRESENT USE AND IMPACT (Cont ' d. ) All these sites , even the one where the initial education effort started , are serving the community in the same manner as when they began as concepts nearly a century ago . Indeed , Greater Mt . Olive Missionary Baptist and St. Paul A.M. E . Churches are in the midst of separate $500, 000 building and expansion programs in Blocks 27 and 28 respectively. When completed , they will be fitting and lasting testaments and memorials to an honored past to be remembered and a hopeful future to be fashioned . They , along with the unique St. Matthew Episcopal Church and newly remodeled Masonic Hall , are and will be beacons of historical notice and singularity that will assist the planners of the new Atlantic Avenue West Corridor to better serve the total community. VI. RESOLUTION - It is therefore resolved that the above mentioned four sites and one building be recognized for their historical , cultural and architectural contributions to the City of Delray Beach by being placed on the Local Historic Register . No. 4, Delray Colored , opened October , 1985 , on what is now . Block 28 , Northwest 5th Avenue ; Greater Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church, Block 28 , organized 1896 and purchased 1898 on which building was erected the same year , rebuilt after the 1928 Hurricane rebuilt again as is today , 140 N.W. 3rd Avenue ; Free and Accepted Mason , Lodge 275 , Delray , organized 1899 , purchased from African Methodist Church in 1904 and rebuilt structure after 1928 Hurricane ; and St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church, organized 1897 , purchased and erected structure in Block 27 , 1911 and 1916 respectively and rebuilt after the 1928 Hurricane and remodeled to present 1955 , 119 Northwest Fifth Avenue , be designated local historic sites . St. Matthew Episcopal Church, 404 S.W. 3rd Street. Organized in 1911 , built in 1916 and rebuilt in 1926 when the present cornerstone was laid , and completed in 1928 The Historic Preservation Board recommends that this church be designated a Local Historic Building .

In Florida, however, the population increased from around 140,000 in 1860 to approximately 530,000 in 1900. Until the early nineteen hundreds half of•these settlers were Americans of African descent. In 1894 Fagan Henry and his wife Jane Monroe from Gadsen County bought land from Henry Flagler's Model Land Company and established their homestead in Delray Beach west of the intracoastal waterway near present day 8th Avenue (?). That same year William Linton, a Michigan postmaster,purchased 160 acres from Captain George Gleason for development in Delray. The closely knit Black Community, then a part of Dade County, petitioned for and secured a teacher and a school from County superintendent C.H. Lum as required by State Superintendent of Instruction Jonathan Clarkson Gibbs in October of 1894. Schoolhouse Number Four, Delray Colored began operation on Lincoln Lot, now Northwest 5th Avenue, in a thatch hut in 1895. B.F. James (1895) and Frances Jane Bright (1900) were the first teachers assigned to this school, the second oldest school for Blacks in Southeast Florida. Despite the obvious importance of education to the community, Colored students were entitled to only six months of annual instruction while their white counterparts received nine months under the "Separate but Equal" Educational Program until 1943. • Pleased by their success in starting the School, the settlers moved quickly to take advantage of Flagler's land set asides for cultural institutions. Greater Mount Olive Baptist Church, Saint Paul' (Mount Tabor) African Methodist Episcopal Church and the Free and Accepted Masons Lodge 275 were founded in 1896, 1897 and 1899 respectively.within five years and one block of the Schoolhouse originally on this site. Saint Matthew's Episcopal Church was founded in 1911 by the Anglican Bahamians in the Southern part of the settlement. This school house site was originally part of that Lincoln Lot and was deeded to the City of Delray Beach from Mt. Olive Missionary Bapiist Church for use as an historic Park in February 1990. These hardy pioneers successfully raised crops on relatively small plots despite the occasional fickle changes in weather and the ever present plague of insects and pests. The devastating freeze of 1896, which prompted the departure of Linton and Swinton, served to unite the remaining settlers into a cohesive community. When the Town formalized its government,through incorporation in October of 1911, 16 of the 56 electors were African American men. One of these men,George Green Sr. placed seventh in a general election for the original five City Commission seats. Despite many hardships, the citizens of Delray have historically demonstrated their progressive spirit and a powerful sense of unity. In 1894 when this handful of freed slaves requested the second schoolhouse in the region , they strongly declared the value of education. In 1993 ninety-nine years later, the 40,000 citizens of Delray received national recognition as an All America City distinguished by a unique ability to face the problems of contemporary life together. .D Elizabeth Debs Ralph Cantin CArchitects, Inc. • 176 (i-istA February 18, 1994 ° ‘At \Qt7V1 Govr-di Re: Press Release ^' tiv.C1()%1CS City Unveils Plans for B.F.

The park commemorates five historically significant sites in the community dating from the late 1890's including; Greater Mount Olive Baptist Church, Saint Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church, the Free and Accepted Mason's Lodge 275, Saint Matthew's Episcopal Church, and the first school in Delray, Schoolhouse Number Four Colored, which originally occupied the site. Spenser Pompey a local historian,Sam McGhee Director of the T.E.D. Center and Elizabeth Debs of EDRC Architects Inc. made a proposal to the City for the work through Lula Butler the Director of Community Improvement and the Historic Preservation Board. Four planters delineate the boundaries of the 15' x 22'park leased by the City from Mt.Olive. Each planter has an ironwok screen depicting the five historic sites and a short history of the neighborhood. The park will be used as a starting point for historic walking tours and educational programs. 25 Seabreeze Avenue Delray Beach,FL 33483 407-278-3635 407-243-8184(Fax) • Pleased by their success in starting the School, the settlers moved quickly to take advantage of Flagler's land set asides for cultural institutions.

Spencer Pompey, Chair SUBJECT: HISTORIC SITE DEDICATION PROGRAM, February 25, 199, In the latter part of the 19th Century, a group of Black settlers established five important historical institutions that gave to this area an abiding sense of community and stability that are an indelible part of the history of Linton and Delray Beach - then a part of Dade County. Despite the adversities of isolation and difficult environmental conditions, these hardy and spirited pioneers built five fundamental facilities necessary to foster education, spiritual and fraternal uplift and civic and social togetherness and which should be memorialized and more deeply appreciated by and in the total community. The Historic Preservation Board approved the following five institutions and recommended them to the City Commission for official designation: October, 1895 School No. 4, Delray Colored January, 1896 Greater Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church October, 1897 St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church 1899 The Free and Accepted Masons, Lodge 275, Delray 1911 St. Matthew Episcopal Church In recognition of the historical and cultural contributions to the City, the City Commission has officially designated these five sites as "historical sites, " and has appropriated $2 , 000 for the purchase of an appropriate Marker to be located on an historical site in the area. Thanks to the understanding and cooperative effort of the pastor and officials of Greater Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church, an easement has been granted to the City to locate the Marker on the west portion of Mt. Olive ' s 5th. Avenue Parking lot, which was in fact the north portion of the School #4 Delray Colored playground. This site for the Marker is a part of the original school site and i`s indeed the cornerstone and pivot of the historical advances made before the turn of the Century by the Black pioneers of this area. The City is being asked to make the site a mini-park named in honor of the first two teachers of School #4 Delray Colored - B. F. James and Frances Jane Bright - made part of the City Parks and Recreation Department. The Marker is just a part of making the mini-park worthy of underlying reasons for this much needed request, and it is hoped and expected than when it is officially dedicated on February 25th all the necessary particulars will be in place. In order to do this, we are requesting the support of the community to raise a like amount, in money and or in kind for the purchase of an a fence, sod, hibiscus hedging, brick work and a marker base, and of course, labor (Our estimate of costs are - Fencing - $250, Sod - , $100, Plants $90, Marker base - $750, plus Brick work and assorted labor) . Kindly let us know at the above address - Phone #: 276-4090 what you or your organization can provide in money, material or labor in getting the Park ready for the dedication. You will receive a progress report in Historical Dedication Alert #II, February 5, 1990. . • ' SHIP TO: - ._-m--_- . _ _ -.'S..>kI I -O 'UM—kW-VI—Mt -- - 071338 , - c REQUISITION R REQUISITION FORM NUMBER THIS IS NOT A..

PURPOSE The purposes of designating the following sites and building to the Delray Beach Local Register of Historical Places are to appropriately note and recognize and thereby enrich the history of the total Delray Beach Community ; most importantly to develop a deeper and a more sensitive appreciation of the cultural , religious , economic and educational contribution of Blacks that gave early Delray Beach a much needed sense of permanence and kindled a high sense of community belonging, togetherness and understanding. II. LOCATION These sites are located in what is one of the oldest and most permanent sectors of Delray Beach-the Western Sector , bounded on the East by North West and South West First Avenue , the West by North West Eighth Avenue, the North by Lake Ida Road and the South by South West Fourth Street. This sector was settled principally by Blacks when it was the part of North Dade County. It was in this Sector that the first and most permanent institutions were established- homes , schools and churches. Indeed , a compact six or eight block area , lying north of Atlantic Avenue to Northwest Third Street-Blocks 3 ,5 ,10 ,11 ,12,13 ,27 ,28 - is where the basic educational , religious and fraternal and business institutions *and ventures were started , even before it was incorporated as Linton in 1895. Much of Delray Beach' s history and beginnings are found in this area . III. HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE *'SCHOOL NO. 4 DELRAY COLORED,' October, 1895 Proposed Local Historic Site According to the County School Records during the 1894-1909 period when Palm Beach County was part of Dade County, Blacks who had come and settled in this area , petitioned Superintendent C.H. Lum for a school and a teacher in 1894. Because there was no place to house the school- a requirement at that time-the school did not open until October , 1895. B. F. James opened the four month school term in a thatched hut on 5th Avenue , a part of which is the west parking lot of Greater Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church. The official school record reveals this about that lot: " Linton-1894 , Delray Colored- 1895 , Delray Training School -1914-39. " A historical marker designation for this site is most appropriate . One of the-: more _ arresting aspects.-Al„this venture was that the petitioners made provisions for educating their children' before purchasing land for building cturches. The school has a strong feeling in the Black community - even today. Revised III. HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE ( Cont' d. ) GREATER MOUNT OLIVE MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH, 1986 40 Northwest 4th Avenue Proposed Local Historic Site - Organized in 1896, Trustees Albert Cohen , Ed Chambers and Fagan Henry on behalf of the Mt. Olive membership purchased Lot 7 in Block 28 from the Model Land Company on January 26 , 1898. It is the third oldest church in Palm Beach County, the oldest in Delray Beach. Mt . Olive constructed a frame edifice on said lot before purchase and shared it with the African Methodist Flock , organized a year later ; it shared its copious facility for the school commencement exercises , and recently purchased the lot where the school was opened in 1895. ST. PAUL AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, 1897 119 Northwest Fifth Avenue Proposed Local Historic Site Organized in the Jane and Fagan Henry Packing House on the corner Northwest Third Avenue and Second Street ( now Martin Luther King , Jr . Drive) as the - African Methodist Episcopal Church, Trustees Moses Baker , George Hanna and Jesse Cole purchased Lot 1 , Block 28 from the Model Land Company on October 13 , 1899. It shared the edifice of Mt. Olive as Mt. Tabor A.M. E. Church until it purchased Lot 1 in Block 27 from George and Josie Green and built a church there as St. Paul N.M.E. on August 30 , 1911 , having sold Lot 1 , Block 28 to the Free Accepted Masons January in 1904. FREE AND ACCEPTED MASONS, LODGE 275 85 Northwest Fifth Avenue Proposed Local Historic Site Organized in 1899, the Free Accepted Masons purchased Lot 1 , Block 28 from the African Methodist Episcopal Church and filed claim on OCTOBER 11 , 1904, with Trustees George H. Green , George Hanna and Jesse Cole " party of the first part and Robert B. Wilson , James Monroe and D. Campbell and their successors party of the second part . " Masonic Lodge 275 is one of the oldest fraternal organizations in South Florida , and is located on the very same lot. • ST. MATTHEW EPISCOPAL CHURCH 404 Southwest 3rd Street Proposed Local Historic Site Organized in 1911 , the year Delray Beach was incorporated , it is one of the first Black churches erected South of Atlantic Avenue , especially for communicants from the Bahamas Islands . - As a structure , built in 1916 , it has the major trimmings and architectural design for the Anglican Episcopal services. One of its founding members is Mrs. Susie Russell . Revised IV. & V. PRESENT USE AND IMPACT These sites that played such a vital and stabilizing part in the early history and development of Delray Beach , and have an abiding and lasting residue of pride of and respect for efforts of many of the pioneering Blacks , need to be designated by appropriate historical markers , so that their real meaning may be demonstrably shown to and appreciated by the more recent residents here. This is especially needed and required today as Delray Beach embarks on and engages in the much needed efforts to realize the goals enunciated in Visions 2000 in all sectors and sections of the city. The ravages of time , circumstance and opportunity and the demands for change to meet the future needs and desires have destroyed and are likely to replace much that was original ; leaving in far too many ' instances the land-the sites . Understandably, progress has forced - changes in the structures of two of the churches and the Masonic Hall and the first school has long since moved . - Dare we forget- the places and sites on and for which many of the early pioneers living in this sector struggled and shared in giving our city shape and form , stability, foresight and vision! Dare we attempt to rekindle and stir anew the spirit of togetherness and community uplift that made for struggling but steadying progress in the early years and which is needed in meeting the even more complex and varying demands of today and tomorrow! . These markers and designations are deserving of historical notice on their merit and sufficiency, but have additional value at this time . They will serve as a precursory stimulant for those in this sector and in the total community to give added and favorable effort to preserve and to improve this sector and thus enrich the entire community. Preserving the old and blending it with the new and accepting both with dignity and grace require and demand positive and forthright commitment and action . r � aV. & V. PRESENT USE AND IMPACT (Canted. ) All these sites , even the one where the initial education effort started , are serving the community in the same manner as when they began as concepts nearly a century ago . Indeed , Greater Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist' and St. Paul A.M. E. Churches are in the midst of separate $500,000 building and expansion programs in Blocks 27 and 28 respectively. When completed , they will be fitting and lasting testaments and memorials to an honored past to be remembered and a hopeful future. to be fashioned . They , along with the unique St. Matthew Episcopal Church and newly remodeled Masonic Hall , are and will be beacons of historical notice and singularity that will assist the planners of the new Atlantic Avenue West Corridor to better serve the total community.

Ms. Healy thought the area was too spread out for an Historic District and there would be no way to encompass the entire area. Ms. Healy thought an area map marker would be appropriate for this particular area. The directory would have specifics on it such as addresses of the locations and people can drive thru or walk. Ms. Healy will have Mr. Pompey start a list of buildings that his community would like to have individually designated to start the area map directory. Mr. Nathanson informed the Board that Boston has what they ' call the Freedom Walk. Mr. Mayhew suggested that somewhere on Fifth Avenue would be a great place for the area map directory. It is the commercial, retail, cultural center for the neighborhood and it would make Fifth Avenue more of a meeting place. Mr. Mayhew also suggested that the Board could work with one of the clubs in the area to start refocusing on the history of N.W. Fifth Avenue which dates back to the 1920's and 30's, which was the center of the Black Community/Hanna Town, North Palm and Frog Alley. Mr. Mayhew thought the community needs. to be concentrated rather than dispersing it. "The area has the most beautiful sidewalks in Delray Beach and is the most beautiful public common area street in all of Delray". Ms. Healy suggested moving historical buildings as infill to Fifth. Avenue. Mr. Nathanson added that this would follow the policy of the Vision 2000 Conference. Mr. Nathanson also suggested appointing a community representative to begin action. t Ve1119"--- N Another Job "WELL DONE" sZ .-A,i 6D0 j 116 .

The following changes are to be made on the map: 1. Include on the map only 1/2 block to the east of N.W. 4th Ave. and 1/2 block to the west of N.W. 5th Ave. 2. The map is to be turned so that the top of the map is to the east and the bottom is to the west. 3. At the site of the marker put a little colored symbol and beneath it repeat the symbol and YOU ARE HERE 4. Indicate N.W. 4th and N.W. 5th Streets on map. 5. Note that the colors indicated on the copy did not match with the map. We have matched them up.

J . JAMES AND FRANCES JANE BRIGHT PARK This is an unconventional nomination to the category of Non - Residential Restoration / Rehabilitation . However , as none of the categories seemed to fit exactly , we hope the Awards Jury will consider it as " new construction within an historic context " . The B . J . James and Frances Jane Bright Park commemorates original buildings which no longer exist but whose cultural institutions remain on their historic sites . These sites constitute a valued and venerated part of the history of the City ' s black pioneers and serve as a reminder of the significant ✓ ole they played in the development of the community . Situated o n the site of the first school in the City , the Park is appropriately named for its first two teachers . * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * m I In 1894 the area we know as Delray Beach was a jungle of scrub pine , saw palmetto and stunted sea grape heavily infested with mosquitos , snakes , gnats and alligators . In the same year William S . Linton , Postmaster of Saginaw , Michigan , saw an ad III offering acreage for sale in the area . Accompanied by Henry Swinton , Linton ' s friend from Saginaw , the two traveled to III Florida to see for themselves the undeveloped area which was promoted as an excellent buy for investors . Liking what he saw , in spite of the snakes and alligators , Linton purchased 160 acres $ 25 per acre with the intention of starting a town . IIIThat same year , black families from the Panhandle of Florida arrived in the area , purchased land from Henry Flagler ' s Model III Land Company and settled west of the acreage bought by Linton . Led by Fagan and Jane Monroe , these pioneering black families persuaded other relatives and friends to join them in their III homesteading efforts between 1894 and 1896 . William Linton returned to Saginaw , intent on finding a group to follow him to Florida to establish his new town . With surprising success , Linton returned a year later leading a small party of IIItc settlers to begin a new life in the wilderness . On arrival they , . ; found that the black families had not only harvested a winter A crop , but had petitioned the County School Board to establish a school for their children . Pleased with their success in establishing the first school in t he area , these pioneering black families moved quickly to take advantage of Henry Flagler ' s land dedications for cultural institutions . Within a brief period of time they established in addition to the school , the following three churches and the t own ' s first civic association : S chool No . 4 , Delray Colored , founded 1895 Greater Mt . Olive Missionary Baptist Church , founded 1896 S t . Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church , founded 1897 The Free and Accepted Masons Lodge 275 , founded 1899 S t . Matthew Episcopal Church , founded 1911 a B . F . James and Frances J . Bright Park Page 2 It is interesting to note that three of these sites are within o ne block of the schoolhouse site . St . Matthew which was the youngest of the early institutions is several blocks away in t he southern section of the black settlement . All of these institutions remain on their original sites with the e xception of the school , which was abandoned by the County S chool Board when the school was moved to a new and larger location in the City during the 1930s . However , with the growth o f these institutions and subsequent remodeling and new construction , none of the buildings is historic , with the e xception of St . Matthew ' s , whose existing building was constructed in 1926 . In order to recognize and make future generations aware of the h istory of these early institutions the Historic Preservation Board recommended designating them as historic sites , though the school had become a parking lot , and only one of the buildings q ualified as historic . In 1989 the City approved the designation of the five historic sites to the Local Register of Historic P laces . Shortly after the designation an easement agreement was executed with Mt . Olive Church to allow the City to use a portion of their parking lot , where the first school stood , as t he Park site . A dedication ceremony was held on February 25 , 1990 and a bronze marker - map was installed . Due to lack of funds only the bronze marker , sodding and a hedge delineated the Park . As the Park gained recognition and was officially listed on the Florida Black Heritage Trail , it became apparent that funds must 11 be allocated to complete the memorial . In 1994 the local architectural firm of Elizabeth Debs and Ralph Cantin was chosen to design the Park , which officially opened on Martin Luther King Jr . Day , January 16 , 1995 . Only 22 by 16 feet , the Park is small and intimate . Enclosed by coquina finished walls , pavers , planters and a bench it creates the feeling of a small urban outdoor museum . Hand cut - work bronzed aluminum panels depict the symbols of the five organizations . A large panel at the entrance has a lacy cut - work of leaves representing the agricultural beginnings of the community . A domed gate leads to the Mt . Olive Church property which has recently been refurbished . The original bronze marker is the centerpiece of the park and is now appropriately mounted as an integral part of the Park ' s rear wall . A large , tasteful informational panel explains the history of the five sites . W e hope the Awards Jury will consider the unique nature of the P ark . The overall design with its powerful and imaginative use o f symbolism combined with the quality and craftsmanship of the metal work presents a striking interpretation of history . But d espite its moving and sculptural beauty , the true significance o f the Park lies in its historical association with the pioneering families in the black community and the institutions they fostered under the most adverse conditions .
