PURPOSE The purpose of the Nassau Park Historic District is to: 1) retain the identity, image and impact of one of Delray Beach's most dis- tinctive areas, 2) provide a living glimpse of a historical era of architectural achievement and protect the investments of the home- , 3) maintain a harmony and continuity of streetsoape which encouragea preservation and restoration, 4) provide guidelines for mew additions which will compliment the existing structures. • II. LOCATION The Nassau Park Historic District is a two block cluster of houses situated on Nassau Street in Delray Beach, Palm Beach County, Florida. Extending East-West, NPHD is contained within two sub- divisions:. Nassau Park between South Ocean Boulevard and Gleason Street, and Wheatley's Subdivision between Gleason Street Rand Venetian Drive. Delray and Delray Beach incorporated in 192T to form one municipality. Nassau Street was the first planned resi- dential development south of Atlantic Avenue, and was intended to compliment the existing hotels and oceanfront- homes along South • • . Ocean Boulevard. The topography of Nassau Street (the slope of the hill from east to west from South Ocean Boulevard to Gleason Street) is a •vital element in the scope, design and aesthetic of the streetscape.

HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE The Nassau Park Historic District was first platted as Asbury Park Heights. The present day Nassau Street was named Jo-Jo Avenue in the original plat. In March, 1935, developer R. C. MacNeil renamed' the area Nassau Park, and commissioned architect Sam Ogren, Sr. to design the first house. The Cape Code Revival Style with Tropioal • Lines was to be the architectural footprint of the houses. Situat- ed between Atlantic Avenue and Casuarina Road, the Nassau Street development would counterpoint the Mediterranean Style [Tomes which lined South Ocean Boulevard. During the Great Depression, Classic Revival styles became the principal genre of architecture: Colonial, West Indies, Bermuda, Monterrey, French and English. With two railroads, eight hotels, . the only Polo Fields south of Aiken, South Carolina, Delray Beach thrived as a seaside citadel while much of America was economically hampered after the 1929 stock market collapse. Nassau Street . . evokes a memory of prosperity, pleasure,- leisured relaxation and style which was the essence of 1930s life in Delray Beach. 3 The District is comprised of 23 buildings and one vacant parcel. The 18 houses built between 1935-1941 have retained the dominant architectural elements of the Colonial-Cape Cod Revival Style. Styled after the early wooden folk houses of Eastern Massachusetts, these houses feature accentuated front doors, some supported by pilasters, doorways with overhead fanlights, gabled roof lines, dormers, center door facades, carved wood detailings and Georgian or Adam doorways. The ensemble of existing structures reflects a sensitivity of architectural style that combines in scale, mass and • proportion to formulate an aggregate whole with a visual harmony. Designation Report - Nassau Park Historic District Page Three ie Thf'teos.. buildings were constructed between 1935-1938, between 1940-2941, at in the 1950s and two in the 1960s. The three houses built since 1941 are without historic significance, wet do not adversely affect the aesthetic profile of the street. V. PRESENT USE, CONDITION AND ZONING Currently, all houses are in good condition and display skilled craftsmanship. Three parcels, -2 , 226 and 234 S. Ocean Boulevard are zoned IU4-15 and 18 parcels are zoned R-lA. • Legal Description: Nassau Park Lots 1-19,. Wheatley Lots 1-12 and Block F-1 and E-4 of John Reed's Village. 2a1 S Veu e.4-ta,v a. 407-I.5 VI. IMPACT • The Nassau Park Historic District designation would restrain con • - atraetion deemed architecturally .inconsistent within the district, or that which would jeopardize the existing streetscap• thatshas been intact for nearly 50 years. The designation would further encourage residents to maintain cur,- • rent streetscape. • The Standard Certificate of Appropriateness would apply for all. structural changes or additions. All current zoning would be retained. VII. RESOLUTION • As a permanent inspiration and reminder of Delray Beach's proud architectural history, timeless beauty and cultural contribution, the Historic Preservation Board of Delray Beach adopts this Desig- nation Report and Resolution to create the Nassau Park Historic District.

(RJHA) to resurvey four areas within the city previously listed on the Local Register of Historic Places as Historic Districts . The four areas to be studied are Del- Ida Park, Nassau Park, Old School Square, and West Settlers Historic Districts . RJHA ' s task will is 'be to prepare individual Survey Reports for each of the four historic districts that will d provide the following information : • Historical overview of the district • Review existing criteria for determining contributing and non-contributing 1 structures • Recommendations on extending Periods of Significance , where appropriate, within the district I • Update Florida Master Site File forms for previously recorded structures • Prepare new Florida Master Site File forms for previously unrecorded structures 1 • Prepare maps and photographs for all sites within the district The survey will be conducted for all structures that are thirty- five ( 35 ) years or older. . 1 Information will be provided in both digital and paper format . , This Survey Report covers the Nassau Park Historic District, originally designated in 1988 , after one of the most historically and architecturally significant houses in the area ("Seawinds" located at 234 South Ocean Boulevard) was demolished . At the time of designation the 50 year threshold for considering structures as contributing barely covered the original development period for Nassau Park ( 1935 - 1941 ) . This report will , I review and make recommendations whether there is justification for extending the current Period of Significance as a tool for determining historical significance . BOUNDARIES I The Nassau Park Historic District is clearly defined by the original boundaries of the development, the first planned residential development south of Atlantic Avenue and east of the Intracoastal Waterway. The district extends for two blocks along Nassau Street, from Venetian Drive to the west, to South Ocean Boulevard to the east . It includes single family residences within three separate subdivisions John B . Reid ' s Village, Wheatley ' s and Nassau Park, from west to east. The district boundaries have become even more clearly defined as the surrounding area ' s density continues to increase with the construction of higher density, multi- family structures . 1 I I I 1 NASSAU PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT MAP I PROPOSED CONTRIBUTING AND NON - CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES I 1 , __Ife z DOVER HOUSE CONDO 0 Q OCEAN PLACE for 's. w i CONDO 1 COCONUT ROW I1 1 ' ARAM 2 AVENUE ' JARDIN DEL MAR z 1 CONDO LLJ OUw ¢ z rw � ¢ oow < z HwKK I I I - fo * .

CONTEXT The Nassau Park Historic District consists of two blocks located in Delray Beach east of I I the Intracoastal Waterway and three blocks south of Atlantic Avenue , lying between Venetian Drive and South Ocean Boulevard . Its close proximity to the beach and to the downtown area of Delray Beach has made this a highly desirable neighborhood since it Iwas originally conceived in 1935 as the first planned residential development south of Atlantic Avenue . The increasing development pressure that surrounds the Nassau Park miser Historic District contributes to its present day desirability , steadily rising property values II and sense of urgency to preserve this small residential community as one of the few remaining historic enclaves representative of the early days of life in Delray Beach . ill ea I It is important to note that the Period of Significance identified in the Nassau Park Local Register Historic District Designation Report coincides with the date of construction of the original structures of the Nassau Park residential development ( 1935 - 1941 ) . The 1 Period of Significance was later extended to 1943 , but only five houses were built after that date , one in 1949 , three in the 1950s and one in 1964 . Although the Nassau Park Historic District Designation Report , prepared in 1988 , lists these later houses as being Iwithout historic significance , it also points out that they do not adversely affect the aesthetic profile of the street . One reason why the Designation Report identifies the later houses as being without historic significance is that they had not achieved the fifty year I1 threshold generally required as one of the criteria for historic designation at the time when the report was prepared . One of the objectives of the Delray Beach "Resurvey of Four Local Register Historic District" project is to expand the Period of Significance so that structures that are thirty five ( 35 ) years or older may be recorded in the Florida Master Site File , thus providing a II "cushion" for this data base to be up to date when considering structures ' eligibility for listing as "contributing" within designated historic districts . After careful study of the I II buildings within the district boundary, it is our recommendation that the Period of Significance should be extended up to 1964 , the date when the last of the single family residences in the Nassau Park Historic District was built . I1, In observing the development patterns of Delray Beach and particularly of those areas surrounding the Nassau Park Historic District , it becomes evident that no substantial I I development changes took place from the Resort Era of the 30 ' s and 40 ' s decade until the latter part of the 1960s and early years of the 1970s . Whether along the commercial areas such as Atlantic Avenue or in the single family residential areas such as Nassau Street , 1 buildings were predominantly of small scale , low rise construction . The Delray Summit Apartments , built at 1000 Lowry Street in 1965 and the Barrton Building, constructed along the Intracoastal Waterway in 1971 , are among the first multi - family high rise I 1 structures in Delray Beach . Although it is true that these buildings paved the way for a new large scale development trend in the community, this trend had not quite started by 1 3 r f • ii I • the recommended 1964 cut-off date for the Period of Significance and its impact on the Nassau Park neighborhood was nowhere to be found yet . IJust like the development trend in Nassau Park remained constant from the 1930s through the 1960s , albeit slower after the initial construction boom , so did the overall building I typology . Although the few houses constructed between the 1950s and the 1960s may t lean more towards the Ranch Style popular in those years or towards a simple masonry vernacular type, their use of scale , setback and materials still convey a cohesive architectural aesthetic within the district . The dramatic contrast of the larger scale 1 development that currently surrounds the Nassau Park Historic District further reinforces zifte that the architectural and contextual significance of this compact, single - family residential area, is the result of the "tout ensemble" of structures contained within the district ' s boundaries , including those of later construction date . Therefore , all the single gi'"e family residential units built in the two block stretch of Nassau Street between 1930s and the 1960s are recommended to be considered as contributing structures to the Nassau Park Historic District . HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE The continuous period of settlement and development of Delray Beach traces back to 1895 when William S . Linton, U . S . Congressman from Saginaw , Michigan , purchased a half section of land in the area we know today as Delray Beach from the original [ I homesteaders . Mr . Linton , encouraged by the development opportunities that Henry M . 4 Flagler ' s extension of the Florida East Coast Railway brought to the South Florida area, started a settlement, recorded the town plat and named the town after himself. But soon [ j after, when a hard freeze devastated the local crops , Mr. Linton fell on hard times and defaulted on his land payments . Some of the early settlers left , while W . W . Blackmer rallied those who remained and renamed the town Delray , after a section in his hometown of Detroit , Michigan . During the early years Delray developed as an agricultural and fishing community, aided by the railroad that facilitated transport of crops to points north . Pineapples and tomatoes were big contributors to the early local economy . Delray L received many blue ribbons at the Palm Beach County Fair for its produce , and in fact , during a Fourth of July parade in 1914 , the town sported a float dressed up as a giant II tomato . The lure of the warm climate and beautiful beaches soon began to attract visitors to the I town of Delray . In 1902 the Chapman Inn opened as the first building dedicated to hotel use . In 1911 , after the Bradshaw family relocated to Delray from their native Kentucky, they began renting rooms to fellow Kentuckians arriving to settle or to visit . Their house I I became known as the Kentucky House . By 1920 the Bradshaw family had expanded their operation to a full fledged hotel . I I But it was the real estate boom of the 1920s that had the most profound impact in turning Delray into a resort town . Eight new hotels , among them the Alterep , later renamed the Colony , the Seacrest , and the Casa Del Rey , became destination places for visitors from I 4 I r I � I up north . While tourism was claiming an important role in the local economy, the town was also attracting a new breed of prominent seasonal residents , who made Delray their winter home . In 1927 the town of Delray and the town of Delray Beach merged and i incorporated as the City of Delray Beach . The permanent population grew to about 2 , 000 ; a new high school was built , along with places of worship , theaters , golf and polo sports 1 clubs , and commercial establishments . Delray Beach clearly left its imprint on the Florida map during the 20s decade . Although the Stock Market Crash and the Great Depression were felt in Delray Beach like elsewhere during the 1930s , the blow was lessened by the fact that the community had developed a strong colony of winter residents who kept coming back . These were not C1 the very wealthy of Palm Beach who may have been hardest hit by the Depression, but rather a group of artists , writers , entertainers , sports figures and socialites who could afford , and looked forward to , a winter getaway from the hard realities of the times . This resulted in a surge in new construction of fairly modest residential and commercial buildings . While Delray Beach was ranked 50`h in population in Florida during the 1930s , ( _ it was also ranked 10`h in the state in new construction . 1 J One of the areas that flourished during the 1930s was Nassau Park . Originally platted as Asbury Park Heights , it was renamed Nassau Park in 1935 by developer R . C . McNeil , [ .J who commissioned architect Sam Ogren , Sr . to design the first house , located at 234 South Ocean Boulevard in 1935 , now demolished . Sam Ogren Sr . was recognized as the most prominent early architect in Delray Beach , for his designs of the 1925 High School [ and Gymnasium at Old School Square , the Arcade Building on Atlantic Avenue and Marine Villas in the Marina Historic District . Ogren Sr . is referred to as the "Father of . Delray Beach Architecture" . Born in 1899 in China, Ogren Sr . had no formal architectural training, yet he was a registered architect who went on to design over 200 local buildings , mostly in the Spanish and Mediterranean Revival style . Considered to be the first planned residential development south of Atlantic Avenue , Nassau Park ' s close proximity to the beautiful sandy beaches and the charming , simple yet stylish architecture of its small scale houses made this neighborhood highly desirable and successful from its inception . A newspaper article from the Delray Beach News dated February 1 , 1935 for Ray- Del Realty Co . describes Nassau Park as "West Indian Charm Along Delray Shores" . The ad further proclaims " We will build to suit your own needs , charming Nassau cottages , designed by our own architects , containing two and three bedrooms at costs amazingly moderate" . Although it does not specifically name Samuel Ogren Sr . as the architect , since he was contracted to design the house at 234 South Ocean Boulevard which served as the model , it is possible that Ogren Sr. may have been involved in the design of the other houses in the original development . Eighteen houses [ I were built between 1935 and 1941 . Four additional houses were built after the initial planned development phase , two during the 1950s and two during the 1960s . The original houses were simple cottages and have been described in the "Nassau Park Historic District Designation Report" as inspired by the Colonial - Cape Cod Revival Style ( See Architectural Significance Section ) . The Designation Report best describes Nassau Park 5 a 1 1 - 1 as evoking "a memory of prosperity , pleasure , leisured relaxation and style which was the essence of 1930s life in Delray Beach" . 1 T J Pme I, I ._ ,r • - R . ,:`,A ‘I ' Whet ' , i - r i 1 -''' 1 it 1 , i ___ ji 4 II , __ 1I I fi _71 I . p� 1" tik sw ...k4 . . , ,; „ ` Rita • I I " SEAWINDS " . 234 SOUTH OCEAN BOULEVARD . 1935 FIRST HOUSE IN NASSAU PARK 1 till The five houses built in Nassau Park in subsequent years did not follow the same exact Il architectural style of their predecessors . Yet their scale , setbacks and materials allow them to blend into a harmonious whole , all of them pieces of the same fabric that distinguishes this neighborhood from the rest of its rapidly changing surroundings . The { stability of the area is most notable , having escaped after over seventy years since its creation with hardly any of the original buildings being demolished or new intrusions being added . One of the original houses dating back to 1935 , located at 234 South Ocean iBoulevard , was demolished in 1988 to make room for a much larger multi - family residential structure . This action could have signaled the end of Nassau Park as a single family residential neighborhood by bringing about a domino effect of new development and construction . Instead , that single demolition became the rallying cry that resulted in the designation of the Nassau Park Historic District . Today the area is flourishing and most of the small quaint cottages have undergone substantial rehabilitation by caring Iowners who appreciate the historic value of their properties . This in turn has resulted in a marked increase in property values for the neighborhood, which is still , or again , like in I _ its heyday , one of the most desirable places to live in Delray Beach . Ii 6 _ _ _ _ r I LI ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE t I The houses of the Nassau Park Historic District distinguish themselves not as fine representative examples of a particular architectural style but rather for their laid back simplicity, small scale and the character they convey as a seaside community. Their 1 I significance lies not in the individual units but in the way they come together to form a harmonious whole . Stylistically they seem most comfortably described as Cottages , although they have received more fanciful titles such as Colonial -Cape Cod Revival and E. I even Tropical Cape Cod Revival . The fact is that this group of cottages is unpretentious, not historical enough in nature to be tagged Colonial , not northern enough for Cape Cod Revival and certainly hard to visualize as a Tropical Cape Cod Revival , which borders on i .1 oxymoron . Perhaps a more accurate description may be found in the 1935 newspaper ad previously mentioned that refers to them as "Nassau cottages" . I i i 1 a. -_ _ __ r .. Lij [ 1 : : .17-4 it al.e.

Decoration is sparse , generally concentrated around doorways which sport classically inspired carved wood detailing described in the Designation Report as "Georgian or LAim Adam doorways " . The wood frame houses are faced in horizontal weatherboards and many have corner boards as subtle decorative touches . Operable wood shutters adorn windows on many, adding a decorative element while having a functional purpose . The few houses that are two stories , such as those located at 1104 and 1112 Nassau Street, still maintain the same sense of scale as the smaller ones by combining a two story mass with a smaller one story wing or extension, thus breaking down the overall size of the structure . most the for The five houses that were built subsequent to the original development part digressed from the Cottage style in favor of a more generic 1950s Ranch - inspired vernacular . The house located at 1009 Nassau Street is an exception . It is the last house to be built within the district boundaries , yet its design is a fine example of the small scale cottage design that characterizes the original structures in the district . The residences located at 235 Venetian Drive and at 1010 Nassau Street , however, are fine representatives of the trend toward the Ranch style of construction , while maintaining the cohesive typology of the overall district . Similarly, the houses have undergone alterations and additions over the years without significantly detracting from the visual character and intent of the original development . 1 I The house located at 1109 Nassau Street is set back in the property, and a two story garage structure was built on the front portion of the lot . Although the appropriateness of this addition may be questionable due to its location on the site , it is still well integrated with the streetscape by the use of materials and details , including the use of a second story balcony with wooden railings that softens the overall appearance of the new structure . In spite of stylistic variations , alterations and additions , the single family Iresidences that comprise the Nassau Park Historic District maintain and contribute to the sense of place of the neighborhood by their cohesiveness of scale , setbacks , use of Imaterials and overall character . It is that sense of place that makes the Nassau Park Historic District special . This series I I of cottages are clearly distinct from anywhere else in Delray Beach . Other historic districts provide glimpses of the city ' s past through the architecture within their boundaries . Thus one can encounter examples of pioneer era frame vernacular structures I such as the Sundy House and the Clark House , the Bahamian style Cathcart House , or a 1920s bungalow all within a short distance of each other along Swinton Avenue . Or even in sharper contrast may be fine examples of the Mission style and the more ornate I I Mediterranean Revival style just around the corner . This variety of styles lends a richness and historical continuity to the city ' s fabric . But in the compact , two -block - long stretch of the Nassau Park Historic District one steps back to one specific point in place and II time- 1930s beachside residential resort living in Delray Beach at its finest . I 8 ) ? rti RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the Period of Significance for the Nassau Park Historic District be extended to 1964 , to include the five additional structures built during the 1950s and 1960s decades . When the district was originally designated in 1988 many of the . 1 structures had barely achieved the 50 year threshold to be considered as "Contributing" under generally accepted criteria for historic designation . Twenty years later, the district maintains its historical and architectural integrity . Only one of the original structures has been demolished and no new construction other than the multi - family development located at 1180- 1190 Nassau Street that replaced the demolished house has gone into the designated area . Although the five structures subsequent to the original development are I I not exactly built in the same architectural style , they are nevertheless single - family residences , consistent and compatible in scale , setback and materials with the overall character and intent of the original development . The recent development trend towards multi - family residential structures that surrounds the Nassau Park Historic District reinforces by contrast the cohesiveness of the district and justifies deeming all of the single- family residences within the district boundaries as "Contributing Structures" . I I i Ordinance #97 - When the Nassau Park Historic District was officially designated through 87 , a scrivener ' s or typographical error listed it as "Nassau Street Historic District" . The historically accurate name and original intent of the historic district designation was always for the name to be recorded as "Nassau Park Historic District" . It is , therefore , r . recommended that the above - referenced ordinance be amended to show the official name of the designated district as "Nassau Park Historic District" . It is our professional opinion that the locally designated Nassau Park Historic District is potentially eligible for listing as a National Register Historic District . It is recommended that the City of Delray Beach consider undertaking the preparation of a National Register Historic District Nomination Proposal for Nassau Park Historic District . The existing level of documentation on the Florida Master Site File forms and on the Local Register Designation Report will need to be reinforced for a National Register nomination proposal . Additional information on the developers , architects and original owners will be necessary to make the district eligible for National Register listing, but the district ' s unique , fairly intact qualities will only increase its significance both under local and national eligibility criteria with the passing of time . ij 1 9 fl SOURCES • Florida Master Site Files .
