MEMORANDUM
DATE: NOVEMBER 3, 1993
TO: HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD
FROM: PAT CAYCE
SUBJECT: 711 SOUTH OCEAN BLVD.
This is a single family residence constructed in the "Resort
Revival" style which was popular in the City during the 1930 's
and 40's. The house was built in 1939 for Raymond R Smith of
South Bend, Indiana and the architect is, at this date, unknown.
Staff has consulted with Mrs. John Volk and she has determined,
through her husband's commission records, that John Volk did not
design the residence. Records provided by Clemmer Mayhew with
respect to the commissions of architect Gustav Maass, do not
include the subject property. The house was most certainly
designed by an architect, but more research would be needed to
determine whose work it is.
When the house was constructed in 1939 the southern boundary of
the City limits was Casurina Street, which dead ends at the
south end of the public beach and State Road AlA. All of the
property to the south was part of the County. The property
became part of the City in 1945 when the Seagate subdivision was
platted, thus no building permits or tax rolls are included in
the City records prior to 1945.
In 1945 Raymond Smith sold the property to John and Clarissa
Dimick, who were most probably related to the pioneering Capt.
Dimick, an early settler of Palm Beach. The Dimicks sold the
property to Seward Webb & Mary Catherine Pulitzer sometime
between 1948 and 1951, as indicated by the Delray Beach City
Directory (the 1949 and 1950 Directories are missing from the
Library's archives) . In 1973 the Pulitzers sold the house to
Joan S Corson of Wheeling, West Virginia. During the 1980's
Joan Corson sold the property to Mr and Mrs Michael Morrell who
lived there until it was sold to the current owner, Dominic and
Frances Noceri, of Grand Blanc, Michigan in July of this year.
The current owners have applied for a demolition permit for the
house and have commissioned a Michigan architect to design the
residence which will replace it. While demolition of this house
will detract from the historic character of the immediate
neighborhood, staff sees no means by which the Board can prevent
it. Section 4 .5. 1(F) Restriction on Demolition, clearly states
that the Board' s authority with respect to demolition is limited
to properties located within Historic Districts, or listed on
the Local Register of Historic Sites. Staff can only hope that
the loss of this house will serve as a catalyst to enencourage
age
owners of nearby historic houses to list their properties
Local Register. Perhaps if the Beach Property Owners
Association was made aware of this situation they could, at the
grass roots level, begin to encourage owners of historic houses
to designate them to the Local Register.
