Board Members Ms. Golembe reminded staff that on November 15, 1995 the Board had recommended that the City Commission retain a Preservation Attorney who would work with the City Attorney to look at the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance and make recommendations to the Historic Preservation Board re: revisions to the ordinance. Mrs. Cayce stated that this had been brought to the attention of the Director of Planning and Zoning and it was felt that the Board should determine what areas they felt were either weak, not functioning properly, or needed to be revised and request that the City Attorney review the ordinance and compare it to more recently adopted preservation ordinances. If the City Attorney feels that she is not sufficiently conversant with Preservation Law to review and revise the ordinance she would recommend that a Preservation Law consultant be hired for the task.

Ocean Boulevard Dear Brian, It is extremely important that the Sandoway House be designated to the Local Register of Historic Places. It is already listed on the Florida Department of State Master Site File inventory and is eligible with respect to both its architectural and social significance for listing on the Local Register. Once designated all exterior changes will be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Board to insure that any renovations to the exterior will be appropriate to the historic fabric of the structure. The Sandoway project will be a I in for state and private grant funding. When an historic rope pp a g cipality which has a local historic preservation ordinance in place, most grant 'review committees prefer that the recipient structure be designated locally in order to assure that renovations be monitored by a qualified architectural review board for their appropriateness to the structure. The City's Preservation Board is registered with the State as a Certified Local Government which gives additional weight to its competence with respect to architectural review. Failure to designate Sandoway House may seriously compromise the ability of its supporters to obtain grant funding. If the County has any questions regarding the designation of a ro p Pe rtY, I suggested a consultation with Michael Howe in the Planning Department. Mr. Howe is the staff coordinator for the County's Historic Resources Review Board and is familiar with the designation procedure and its consequences to the property owner. The following provides information regarding the architectural and historical significance of the Sandoway House: • The house was constructed in 1936 in the Resort Colonial Revival style of architecture, which was extremely popular in Delray Beach during the years of the ® THE cycledPeAar THE EFFORT ALWAYS MATTERS Y , Brian Shutt andoway House Page 2 Great Depression. This relatively modest style was in deliberate contrast to the 7/ more flamboyant and exuberant Mediterranean Revival style which was in vogue t only a decade before, during the Florida Boom of the 1920s. Despite the Great Depression there was still a great deal of residential construction in the City, much of it built by wealthy winter residents. The Resort Colonial Revival style was more modest in its exterior presentation and was thought to be more appropriate during the difficult financial time affecting most of the country. The interior architectural elements were often beautifully crafted and detailed. An example of this deliberate lack of exterior ostentation can be seen in the placement of the elegant arched window which is located on the south facade and is not visible to the passerby on the street. • Sandoway house is of wood frame construction and is rectangular in form. It has two stories with an open porch on the second floor, originally there was a corresponding porch directly beneath on the first floor. The wrap-around"screened porch which obscures the first floor front (east) and side (north) elevations was added in 1980. The roof is constructed of opposing gables clad in asphalt shingle; a central chimney bisects the opposing gables. The second story is framed in vertical batten and boards and the first floor is sheathed in horizontal clapboard.

We had also discussed whether or not the House might be placed on the Local Historic Register. I have attached a letter from Pat Cayce, the City's Historic Preservation PIanner that provides, given the historic character of the House, it is staffs opinion that the House should be placed on the Local Register. I also spoke with Carolyn Patton,President of the Friends of Sandoway House Nature Center, Inc., and she informed me that their ability to attain historic grants would be greatly aided by providing that the House shall be renovated in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's standards on historic renovation. Ms. Patton also mentioned that by having the House on the Local Register would also be another plus in attaining grant funding for the House. The Friends of Sandoway do not intend at this time to try to have the House listed on the National Register. However, if there would be an intent to place the House on the National Register in the future then the County's approval would be sought at that time. The City is requesting any comments or objections from the County, prior to starting the process to place the House on the Local Register. Please call if you have any questions.

General Information Location: 142 South Ocean Boulevard Delray Beach, Florida Date of Construction: 1936 Architect: Credited to: Samuel Ogren Present Owner: Palm Beach County Present Use: Currently being transformed into a Nature Center Future Use: Sandoway House Nature Center Present Zoning: Residential Future Zoning: Community Facility Legal Description: Beach lots Delray, S 73 FT of N 100 FT of LT 24 Classification for Designation: Architectural, historical and cultural II. Architectural Significance The house is credited to one of Delray Beach's most renowned architects: Samuel Ogren. It was constructed in the then-emerging Colonial Revival Resort(or Resort Colonial) style, which was quite popular in Delray Beach during the years of the Great Depression. It is one of only a handful of houses in this style of architecture remaining on the City's beachfront. Overview of the Resort Colonial Style(1930--1939) As prosperous residents of Delray Beach began to build homes along the beachfront (earlier homes had been west of the IntraCoastal Waterway), the Great Depression was ravaging the rest of the country. Thus, a more restrained form of architecture emerged: Resort Colonial. An example of the deliberate lack of outward ostentation can be seen in the elegant arched window which is located on the south facade of the Sandoway House and not visible to passers-by on the street, The Resort Colonial genre combined the best features of colonial and vernacular design with interesting resort details. The city's inventory of these type of remaining structures includes but a handful along the waterfront and the Sandoway House is typical as it uses New England clapboard construction combined with an airy second-floor porch to capitalize on the sea breezes. The interiors of these houses were filled with beautifully crafted architectural elements. Details in the Sandoway House include a graceful winding staircase, solid Dade pine floors and cypress ceilings, crown moldings and double-hung windows throughout. III. Historical Significance: The Sandoway House is listed in the Florida Department of State Master Site File Inventory of Historic Structures and is eligible for listing in the City's Local Register of Historic Places. The Sandoway House is worthy of listing on the Local Register for its architectural, historical and cultural significance. Aesthetically, it portrays the environment in an era of history characterized by this architectural style. Additionally, it contains elements of design, detail and craftsmanship of outstanding quality which represented,in its time, a significant adaptation to the South Florida environment. IV. Cultural Significance Sandoway House provides cultural significance as it exemplifies the historical, political, economic and social trends reflected in Delray Beach during the Great Depression. Moreover, its design is credited to Samuel Ogren, the first architect to practice in Delray Beach. Ogren's work shaped both the public and private character of Delray Beach, including the National Register--listed High School and Gymnasium(known as Old School Square). I Ti N.E. 1ST ST.
