BACKGROUND AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed Old School Square Historic District is an approximately 12 block mixed use neighborhood located in the city of Delray Beach, Palm Beach County, Florida. The district comprises approximately 11 acres and is bounded on the north by Lake Ida Road (N.E. 4th Street), on the east by NE/SE 1st Avenue, on the south by SE/SW 2nd Street, and on the west by NW/SW 1st Avenue and Swinton Avenue. The proposed boundaries of the historic district are shown as a dashed line on the accompanying map. The proposed boundary represents the collection of historic buildings built within the 1920-1960 period of significance in the Old School Square Historic District. Two buildings constructed prior to 1920 are also considered contributing. Buildings shown outside the boundary line were constructed after 1960 or may have been constructed within the period of significance but were severely altered. Other properties are vacant land. The proposed Old School Square Historic District (NRHP) nomination contains 119 contributing resources (structures) and 23 noncontributing resources (structures). Except for the three resources that comprise Old School Square Complex and St. Paul's Episcopal Church, all of the buildings are residences, retail, commercial offices, and restaurants. The period of significance is c. 1920-1960. There are no buildings that are taller than three stories in the district. The proposed district derives its name from the National Register Listing (March 10, 1988), Old School Square Complex. The National Register Old School Square Complex listing includes three buildings called the Delray Beach Elementary, the Delray Beach Gymnasium, and Delray Beach School. This was the first school in the area. The groups of buildings were constructed in 1913 and 1926. The locally designated historic district called Old School Square Historic District (listed in the Delray Beach Local Register of Historic'Places, 1988) has a slightly different boundary description from the new proposal and in 2008 when the district was resurveyed, 122 structures were identified as contributing and 15 have been identified as noncontributing. The two statements of significance Criteria (as stated in the application) that qualify this application for designation are; A. The property is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to broad patterns of Delray Beach history (listed in the attached consultant report). C. The property embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction that represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values, or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components lack individual Old School Square NRHP Designation HPB Meeting July 15,2015; Page 2 of 3 designation (the specific contributing and noncontributing residences and their significant architectural styles are listed in the attached consultant report). The two areas of significance (as stated in the application) that qualify this application for designation are; • Community Planning- which is defined as the evolution over time of the development of the community that includes an education component. • Architecture- which is defined as the distinctive collection of various architectural styles within the district from 1920 through 1960. The focus is the entire district as a whole and its buildings within. SUMMARY The following is a quote from the consultant "The Old School Square Historic Significance is locally significant under Criterion A in the areas of significance for Community Planning and Development and Education and Criterion C in the area of Architecture. The district possesses significance as an early planned residential area in Delray Beach. The early residences historically served as winter homes for vacationers from the northern and Midwestern states, starting in the Florida Land Boom era of the 1920s. From the 1930s to the 1940s, many of the newcomers to the neighborhood became permanent residents. The period of significance is from c. 1920 to 1960. The district is also significant for its architecture. The Old School Historic District displays a variety of architectural styles, including Frame and Masonry Vernacular, late 19th and 20th century Mission Revival, Mediterranean Revival, Bungalows, Craftsman, and Minimal Traditional. The Old School Square Historic District has maintained a high level of integrity."Further definition of Criterion A and C can be found in the National Register, Criteria for Evaluation of attachments to this report. National Register listing places no obligations on private property owners. There are no restrictions on the use, treatment, transfer, or disposition of private property. National Register listing does not lead to public acquisition or require public access. A property will not be listed if; for individual properties, the owner objects, or for districts, a majority of property owners object. National Register listing does not automatically invoke local historic district zoning or local landmark designation. Federal Regulation 36 CFR 60 authorizes the National Register of Historic Places. Listing in the National Register of Historic Places provides formal recognition of a property's historical, architectural, or archeological significance based on national standards used by every state. Results include: • Becoming part of the National Register Archives, a public, searchable database that provides a wealth of research information. • Encouraging preservation of historic resources by documenting a property's historic significance. • Providing opportunities for specific preservation incentives, such as: Federal preservation grants for planning and rehabilitation Federal investment tax credits Preservation easements to nonprofit organizations International Building Code fire and life safety code alternatives • Possible State tax benefit and grant opportunities. • Involvement from the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation when a Federal agency project may affect historic property. Old School Square NRHP Designation HPB Meeting July 15, 2015; Page 3 of 3 NOMINATION PROCESS As part of the partnership between state and local governments, federal regulations require that nomination proposals be reviewed by Certified Local Government (CLG) historic preservation boards before they can be presented to the Florida National Register Review Board. In order to facilitate the review of nominations for properties that lie within the jurisdiction of a CLG, and to conform with federal regulations concerning the required notifications and review, the following procedures will be followed: • The Bureau of Historic Preservation will advise the CLG when someone inquires about proposing the nomination of a property which lies within the CLG's jurisdiction. • When a nomination proposal is not initially submitted by the CLG, the Bureau will send a copy of the proposal to the CLG for its review. The CLG's historic preservation board and the chief local official will have 60 days to comment. If both the CLG board and chief local official do not consider the property to be eligible for listing in the National Register, the proposal will not be submitted to the Florida National Register Review Board. If only one, either the preservation board or the local official, does not consider the property to be eligible, the proposal may be submitted to the Florida National Register Review Board. If comments are not received by the end of the 60 day review period, the Bureau may schedule the proposal for review by the review board. In accordance with the above, the subject nomination of the Old School Square Historic District is now before the Board for consideration of listing to the National Register of Historic Places. It should be noted that subsequent to the Board's consideration, the recommendation will be forwarded to the State. The State will publish a Public Notice in a local newspaper regarding the designation. The Public Notice will include the proposed NRHP boundaries and the State's hearing date, which is tentatively scheduled for September 23, 2015. Any property owners who wish to support, object, or inquire about the designation may contact the State. Prior to the State's hearing, Staff will provide a presentation at the Board's meeting of September 2, 2015 regarding the City's Historic Preservation Program and the benefits of historic preservation together with the results of both local and national designation. RECOMMENDATION Move a recommendation of approval of the National Register Historic of Historic Places Designation of "Old School Square Historic District" generally located south of Lake Ida Road, between NE/SE 1st Avenue and NW/SW 1st Avenue, and North Swinton Avenue in Delray Beach, Palm Beach County, Florida.

It remained a prevalent style until about 1950, when it was replaced by the popular Ranch. The Minimal Traditional incorporates Colonial and Tudor forms with the Modern and International preference for as little ornamentation as possible.Nevertheless, homes built during the Great Depression continued to have nice quality built-ins, cabinetry, and woodwork though somewhat simplified. This style remained a dominant residential form in the years immediately following the World War II and can be found in most areas of the country as both individual and tract homes. The one-story Minimal Traditional style residence at 138 North Swinton Avenue (Photo 16) [PB 10489] constructed c. 1937 has a side gable roof surfaced with asphalt shingles The roof has narrow eaves and the cterior walls are covered with weatherboard. The house has a rectangular ground plan and rests on a brick :undation. The main fenestration is paired 6/6-light double-hung wood sash windows. The residence features molded window surrounds, corner boards, attic vents, and faux shutters. The main entrance is a wood and glass panel door located at the top of a small masonry stoop in the center of the facade. A honeycomb pattern paved driveway leads to three concrete and brick steps at the stoop. The house design"minimally refers to the Colonial Revival style mainly in its fenestration, the organization of the main facade and its entranceway. There is a secondary one-story wood frame building found at the rear of the property The one-story residence at 246 North Swinton Avenue (Photo 17) [PB10491] constructed c 1941 has side gable roof surfaced with asphalt shingles and a font facing gable extension on the main (east) facade. Like many Minimal Traditional style residences the building has narrow room eaves. The house has a wood frame covered with smooth painted stucco and rests on a continuous concrete block foundation. The residence has an external stucco covered chimney with a metal on the south elevation. The house has an incised porch on the main facade. The porch has a brick deck that is sheltered by the main roof and is accessed by a single brick step. A pair of 8/8-light double-hung wood sash windows are found beside the main entrance on the porch, and a single 6/6-light double-hung wood sash window is found on the front gable facade extension. The main entrance is a wood and glass panel door located in the approximate center of the facade. The gable end features a large nine panel wood decoration that resembles shingles and a three part scupper motif. The rear of the house has a sliding glass door that opens onto a paved patio. The patio is sheltered by a flat roof supported by pipe columns at the outer corners. Like many other Minimal Traditional style houses, this example has no specific historical stylistic references, which in this case can be both American Colonial and Mediterranean Revival. A two-bay, frame, one-story garage stands at the rear of the house lot. he one-story residence at 310 N.E 1st Avenue (Photo 18) [PB10598] constructed c. 1940 has a combination front gable and side gable main roof.

The district possesses significance as an early planned residential area in Delray Beach. The early residences historically served as winter homes for vacationers from the northern and Midwestern states, starting in the Florida Land Boom era of the 1920s. From the 1930s to the 1940s, many of the newcomers to the neighborhood became permanent residents. The period of significance is from c. 1920 to 1960. The district is also significant for its architecture. The Old School Historic District displays a variety of architectural styles, including Frame and Masonry Vernacular, Mediterranean Revival, Mission, Bungalow, and Minimal Traditional. The Old School Square Historic District has maintained a high level of integrity. �STORIC CONTEXT From its beginnings Delray Beach has reflected the phenomenon that occurred throughout Florida. As one of America's last frontiers, Florida was an unknown and conditions formidable for those fearless pioneers who dared to make their lives here. Towards the late 19th c., citizens from all walks of life would leave established cities and make their way through the muck and marl of the early frontier to begin their settlement of Florida. Becoming a state in 1845, Florida historically saw development occur in the northern part of the state. Moving southward of Lake Okeechobee, the land was yet tamed, much of it swampland that had not been drained, rivers where no bridges existed, and occasional pathways from the Native Americans, but no roads. The waters which surrounded the peninsula of Florida was the"highway" that men traveled to gain access to those settlements which had sprung up on the coasts. The coastline that would eventually become Delray Beach was on the circuit of the"barefoot mailman" who traveled from Palm Beach to Miami delivering mail. Other than Native American associations, the first building to be constructed on this coast was the"House of Refuge No.3." The United States' Lifesaving Service built these shelters for the woeful shipwrecked sailors who would be in great need as they found themselves in the midst of this vast wilderness. In all, the government built five "Houses of Refuge" from the Indian River Inlet on the north to Biscayne Bay on the south, a distance of approximately 60 miles.2 This particular refuge house also became known as the"Orange Grove House," as workers building the shelter in 1876 found a grove of mature sour oranges, which could only infer that the place was once inhabited, most likely by the Seminole Indians3 2 Cecil W.and Margoann Farrar,Incomparable Delray Beach—Its Early Life and Lore.

The state sold Gleason hundreds of acres of land in Section 16 (of which Delray was a part) at $1.25 per acre. The Gleason family was to sell many of those acres to an adventurous politician from Saginaw, Michigan—William Seelye Linton. Linton who served in the House of Representatives from 1893-1897 representing Michigan's Eighth Congressional District, had earned his fortune in the lumber business.4 Linton married the former Ida M.Lowry in 1878. "Palm Beach History On-Line" explains that the first visit the Congressman made to the area was as early as 1894 in the company of Major Nathan Smith Boynton.5 After lunch, Boynton took the Congressman touring the areas south of Lantana, which included the land comprising Delray Beach.6 Author Cecil Carr(Linton was his uncle)relates that Linton later returned with David Swinton, a book store raist er from Saginaw, who made the arduous trek to arrive where Linton's land interests lie. As the Florida East Railway ended at West Palm Beach in 1895, these adventurous pioneering men traveled through"a jungle of saw palmetto, scrub pine and oak, matted together with saw grass and stunted sea grape."' Part of their journey could only be accomplished by taking a boat from Lake Worth,then on to the East Coast Canal (The Intracoastal)by barge. The Linton party, which included a civil engineer, a railroad clerk, a railroad supply agent and about five farmers, arrived to find families of African-American descent. They existed by farming and fishing and built their shelters west of the canal. 8 Theses settlers arrived as early as 1894 and settled west of and near the Town of Linton. The area was known as"the Sands" because of its sandy soil. Today, the area is memorialized by the City of Delray Beach as the"West Settler's Historic District."9 More and more African-Americans settled in the area along with new pioneers. Between 1895 and 1910, that community built three churches, a school and a Masonic Lodge. Henry Morrison Flagler, a genius and artful entrepreneur played a great part in the settlement of the East Coast of Florida. Flagler, from Philadelphia and a partner in John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company, was also a railroad magnate, and his Florida East Coast railway supplied the transportation that would finally bring people and supplies to an otherwise unreachable community. It has been said that during the period of Flagler's 4"William Linton"http://en.wikipedia.org/wikiJWilliam S. Linton,accessed November 9,2014 5"Delray Beach"http://www.pbchistoryonline.org/page/delray-beach,accessed November 9,2014 6 In other accounts,Nathan Boynton is not named.There is a convincing ring of truth to this accounting,as the town immediately =rth of Delray Beach is called"Boynton Beach" arrar, 12.

Flagler's goals in building the railroad brought settlement, cultivation and freight. "He [Flagler] had transformed the Florida east coast from an eastern version of the unpopulated West in the 1880s into the most viable economic area of Florida by the time of his death in 1913."11 When Linton returned to Michigan he began to promote land in Florida. Ads were placed in Saginaw, Bay City and Flint, Michigan newspapers.12 Linton recruited a small band of adventurers who made their way southward. Each of these settlers were sold five acres of land, ostensibly for farming, although the tropical growth, including strong and unyielding palmetto roots had to be cleared before cultivation could begin. Railroad mogul Henry Flagler's Model Land Company surveyed the land, platted subdivisions and officially recorded the land as the"Town of Linton."13 The first plat included a business district, residential lots, a school lot and a racetrack. Shortly thereafter, Congressman Linton left that band of pioneers to return to Michigan with the iowledge that the town was named for him, and a lake in the area named for his wife "Ida."14 By the time Flagler's railroad arrived in 1896, Atlantic Avenue was a white shell rock road some eight feet wide. Scattered along its length, from Swinton Avenue on the east and the East Coast Canal on the west, which comprised the higher land on the old coastal ridge, were the ramshackle homes of the settlersls At the corner of Swinton and what is now 2nd Avenue was Frank Chapman's house, Linton's first postmaster.16 This first decade of growth for the settlers of Linton was harsh; living conditions primitive, and insects unmerciful. The farmers had no way to drain the land, and often heavy rains washed out their crops. In contrast, the weather also sometimes failed to provide any rain, and the crops simply withered in the fields. "There were no communications, no drugs, no fresh meat or milk, and no doctors."17 The final blow came with a devastating freeze in December 1894 that killed the tomatoes and beans with a thin coating of ice. For many, that was the last straw there was an exodus from the Town of Linton where there were just too many unknowns,to the comfort and familiarity of their home towns. Prosperity would come in the first decade of the 20th c., with the help of Henry Flagler(he provided the towns along his railroad route with free vegetable seeds after the great freeze.)Within seventy-two days of their 1°Edward N.Akin,Flagler Rockefeller Partner and Florida Baron.(Kent,Ohio:The Kent State University Press: 1988)188 u Ibid. 12 Farrar, 13 1�http://www.pbchistoryonline.org/page/defray-beach."Palm Beach County History Online,accessed November 20,2014 Ibid,14 http://mydelraybeach.com/planning-and-zonin//historic-preservation/historic-districtsAccessed January 7, 2015 16 Ibid,20 17 Ibid,21 NPS Form 10-900-a OMB Approval No. 1024-0018 (8-86) United States Department of the Interior ational Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Section number 8 Page 4 OLD SCHOOL SQUARE HISTORIC DISTRICT PALM BEACH COUNTY,FLORIDA SIGNIFICANCE planting, tomatoes, snap beans and other vegetables were ready for shipment north. Finally, those settlers who had remained behind, realized some return for their perseverance18. A New Century—A New Town By 1900, the population of the town had reached 150. The first decade of the 20th century saw an increasing population and the building of institutions such as churches, banks and schools. The town had become a community in the true sense of the word. In 1901 the settlers renamed their town from"Linton" to"Defray." By 1898, Linton had in fact defaulted on his land payments, and some of those early settlers that stayed on had to pay twice for their land. In November, W.W. Blackmer, a railroad clerk, gathered the citizens in the first schoolhouse and proposed that they select a new name for their settlement. After all, there were bitter feelings against Congressman Linton, and "Linton"was associated with the earlier failures which undermined the new timism that was felt. In November, 1898 the first post office opened bearing the name"Delray." In 1896, Dade County School Board records indicated that the citizens of Linton were petitioning for a school house. Block 68 of the original plat for Linton was designated as the site for the new school. The one-room school house was funded from the county who gave the construction material of$250 for the construction material, as well as Congressman Linton who donated $50.00.19 The building faced Atlantic Avenue near the northeast corner of Atlantic Avenue and Swinton Avenue. Opening in spring 1896, records show that there were 33 white children enrolled who ranged in age from 6 to 21 years.20 There were other changes as well. The County of Dade was established in 1836, and included Linton. In 1909 the new county of"Palm Beach" was created to include Delray, which'was now closer to the county seat in West Palm Beach. In 1911 a hand cranked drawbridge was built across the East Coast Canal at Atlantic Avenue, linking the easternmost portion of the community which was heretofore difficult to access21. The 1909 United States Census recorded 904 citizens in the community of Delray.22 Farming was the major industry in Delray-and there were an ever-growing number of merchants who could provide them with the goods they needed for a successful harvest and to care for their families. From the first, pineapples were the principal crop grown. However, when other canals (particularly in Dade County)were dug,the water table was lowered, making it virtually impossible to grow them. The pineapple farmers were simply undercut by the crops coming in from Cuba. By 1910 canneries were built for both pineapples and tomatoes—with tomatoes to become the principal crop grown. t`O id,27 ld School Square," typescript,files of the Division of Historical Resources id 21 Farrar,48 22 Patterson,np NPS Form 10-900-a OMB Approval No. 1024-0018 (8-86) United States Department of the Interior ationat Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Section number 8 Page 5 OLD SCHOOL SQUARE HISTORIC DISTRICT PALM BEACH COUNTY,FLORIDA SIGNIFICANCE Along with agricultural growth, commercial growth was begun in earnest. Some of those early merchants who contributed in shaping the community are: L.B. Lyman who established a general store;W.J. Cathcart who had been a traveling salesman throughout the county selling notions, and who eventually constructed a building at the corner of Atlantic and 2nd Avenues in 1912; James J. Love who opened Delray's first drugstore (at the northwest corner of Atlantic Avenue and Northeast 4th Street) in 1912, with the second story used as the Masonic Temple;23 H.J. Sterling, J.B.Smith, Walter Smith and W.J. Cathcart began the city's first lumber company.24 At a meeting on September 4, 1911 the citizens voted to incorporate as the"City of Delray."25 Judge John Shaw Sundy was elected Mayor and served a total of seven terms. Even with these advances, living in Delray was no "walk in the park." Fresh meat was available only one day a week; ice shipped from West Palm Beach in blocks arrived as a puddle; no street was paved and travel by railroad was still slow going.(for example it took thirteen hours to travel from Delray to Jacksonville.)26 of the earliest houses survive, include the Sundy House,the Snyder House(now known as the Cathcart House,)the Clark House(102 North Swinton Avenue,) and the Cornell Museum (Delray School) The Ladies Improvement Association was created in 1902 and by 1906 built their own clubhouse, which served double-duty as the first Town Hall. In 1903, the Methodist Church(now Cason United Methodist)was built at the corner of South Swinton and Atlantic Avenue. Other denominations were quick to follow suit, and in 1904 Trinity Lutheran Church was built, and in 1905 St.Paul's Episcopal Church was completed. The original 19th century school was replaced in 1913. The old school was demolished and replaced by a two-story concrete block building. The first floor was allocated to the younger school children while the high school students occupied the second floor. The school has survived to this day, and is now used as the Cornell Museum. In 1914 the first electric plant was built, and a movie theater, "the Bijou" opened in 1917. Delray had advanced as a community, interested in education and cultural pursuits. "Dramatic performances, music clubs and bands were popular from the beginning"27.The African-American community paralleled the successes the Anglos enjoyed, having established their own school, two churches and a Masonic Lodge. Technology came to Delray as in 1914 the town was illuminated by electricity. In 1915, Delray had its first graduation ceremony. Delray was now poised to receive the thousands who would seek to make Florida their ?3 Mr.Love had the distinction of serving as the town's Mayor; City Judge;postmaster and pharmacist,all in the same year.(Farrar, ii11:1.)id,34 Writer Cecil Farrar explains that"Delray"was the name of a suburb outside of Detroit,Michigan 26"No Rationing Then"Delray Beach News.Friday,January 8,1943,2 27 Patterson,n.p.

But first,that swell of opportunity was interrupted by the"War to End all Wars." The World War I Years Cecil Farrar relates that the youngest man from Delray to enter the armed forces was Lonnie Cook, who was soon joined by a contingent of men who fought for freedom.28 The Town of Delray, whose economy was based on farming suffered a difficult time. With the loss of so many, "Delray suffered pangs of longing for its young men who had gone to war. Like a sick child who is too quiet, the once lively small town became lackadaisical and lonesome"29 While some of the farmers left for bigger towns, at home, in Delray, the major source of income was the m.nning factory. The canning factory that had once been used by the pineapple growers was sold to the Snider lietchup Company. The factory became the nexus of the city, and at quitting time, workers spilled out into the streets. The Post-War Boom After World War I ended in 1918, the public seemed to be filled with unlimited optimism. Jobs were readily available, moonshine flowed profusely, and largely due to the new State and Federal Highway Systems, combined with Henry Ford's affordable Model"T", citizens took to the road in droves. In Delray, vegetable fields were lost as the demand for housing caused an exponential increase to the value to that land as it was converted to housing developments. Those fortunate to own oceanfront land were compensated at a rate which made it fiscally irresponsible to resist. Delray, situated between the East Coast Canal and the Atlantic Ocean, Delray was a particularly attractive place to settle. During the 1920s, Delray shed its image as a farming community in favor of a resort town. New buildings were under construction, many of them using the Mediterranean Revival style which had become so popular in South Florida, particularly in the nearby towns of Boca Raton, West Palm Beach and Palm Beach. In 1927, the City of Delray merged with the beach area across the canal and became the City of Delray Beach. Delray Beach had its share of famous people who made homes here, they included: nationally syndicated cartoonists, H.T. Webster(creator of Casper Milquetoast, the Timid Soul) and Fontaine Fox who created the 28 Farrar,52 29 Ibid NPS Form 10-900-a OMB Approval No. 1024-0018 (8-86) Vnited States Department of the Interior tional Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Section number 8 Page 7 OLD SCHOOL SQUARE HISTORIC DISTRICT PALM BEACH COUNTY,FLORIDA SIGNIFICANCE Toonerville Trolley.30 Delray also attracted artists and writers including illustrators Charles Williams and Herb Niblick, as well as writers Hugh McNair Kahler, Clarence Kelland and Edna St. Vincent Millay. This phenomenon was occurring in all of the southern communities of Florida, and new towns grew up almost literally overnight. The building boom lasted less than a decade, as prices were unrealistically inflated. Properties were resold again and again by their owners by"binder boys." Those boys would present documents to eager buyers, asking for pennies on the dollar to hold the property but making no demand for collateral to secure the purchase. As buyers flipped their properties over and over hoping to make a quick dollar, they soon learned that the sales were built on sand that disappeared like the beach in a rising tide. The Northern press was no help, stating that land sales in Florida was a scam, and some of the land for sale was underwater. By August, 1926 the railroads which shipped the building supplies, issued a moratorium on any rther shipments as the rail beds and the rails themselves could not withstand the constant weight and needed pair. Only perishable items were allowed through.31 If that wasn't bad enough, two hurricanes of maximum strength hit Palm Beach County in 1926 and then in 1928. Delray Beach suffered most from the 1928 hurricane, as it is reported that some 227 houses were destroyed in the storm.32 The Great Depression and World War II Following the frantic land sales in Florida, which effectively ended in the failure of banks and the bankruptcy of entire towns, by 1927 Florida was actually better off than the rest of the country when the great Stock Market Crash of 1929 occurred. In fact respected historian Dorothy Patterson refers to the 1930s as the"golden age of architecture" in Delray Beach. In fact, Delray Beach ranked 10th in the number of building permits issued in Florida. The homes built were smaller and less-pretentious than in the `Boom," and their smaller and similar designs became known as the"Minimal Traditional Style." 33 Despite the economic ravages of the Great Depression,Delray Beach maintained its status as a resort community during the 1930s. The city became a popular destination for cartoonists and writers during this period, as many maintained offices or studios in the Arcade Building on Atlantic Avenue (Britt 1984: 159). Construction projects on Ocean Boulevard and the Intracoastal Waterway also began to increase during this period, and subdivisions such as Ocean Breeze Estates and Seabreeze Park were platted and developed.

Florida was to become one of the military's major training grounds, and new training facilities were located on Yamato land. Families were evicted from their homes, and Delray Beach became a refuge for Japanese families escaping forced interment. Tourism, which had long been the state's major industry, was curtailed as hotels were converted for use as military housing. The influx of servicemen and their families necessitated an increase in industrial and agricultural production. Delray Beach was at the center of military involvement in Florida, as local men enlisted in the armed forces while women ran businesses and participated in war-related volunteer activities. Blackouts were common during evening hours, as German submarines patrolled off the east coast of Florida. 35 —11Torld War II demanded the entire country to sacrifice as a way to bolster the war effort. Delray Beach was no exception, as men went off to war, women stepped in again performing tasks that were normally associated with the men of the community. Boca Raton, so close to Delray Beach had an operating air field where many GI's trained, and who, after the war, settled in Delray Beach. Military men patrolled the beach on horseback, ever watchful for enemy submarine activity.36 The proximity of Delray Beach to a number of military installations in the area resulted in many military personnel and their families living in the city during the war. These families were taken by the atmosphere and climate of the area, and many decided to remain after the war. 37 After the war, prosperity again returned to the city. After the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1961, Delray Beach suffered its share of racial conflict, as pools and other public facilities once restricted to whites, were now opened to the African American population. As more and more people came to settle in Delray Beach, the city expanded westward and the vegetable fields and hunting preserved were lost to housing development. Today, Delray Beach has experienced a new kind of Renaissance, as older homes and buildings have been converted into commercial establishments, particularly restaurants. A new energy now pulses through the city, which began as little more than a stopover for the Barefoot Mailman. 4h Amy Groover, John L.Vold,Architect: A Study of His Works in the Palm Beaches(Master's Thesis,University of Georgia, ens, Georgia, 1998),70.

Many of the World War II veterans who were stationed in Florida returned to establish permanent or seasonal residency. Since these new residents were faced with a housing shortage, many homes, including prefabricated homes, were quickly and efficiently constructed using the latest in building technology. In addition to the rapid growth of permanent and seasonal residents,the tourist population increased dramatically, reaching prewar levels (Janus Research 2002: 20). By the 1950s, architects began designing homes in Delray Beach that capitalized on ease of construction and suitability to the local climate. Many homes in the Palm Trail and Chevy Chase neighborhoods were =nstructed with 2-car garages, metal frame jalousie or awning windows, and low-pitched roofs. These —chitects also used a U-shaped plan to include a rear patio space, which was a good response to indoor/outdoor living in a temperate climate and which promoted natural air circulation.38 History and Development of the Old School Historic District The historic architectural fabric in the Old School Historic District dates from 1920 to 1960. Frame and Masonry Vernacular, Minimal Traditional, and Mediterranean Revival style buildings represent the common styles from this period. There are also examples of, Mission, Art Moderne, Ranch, and Bungalow. Although Delray Beach grew in population every decade during the 20th century, because the town was so small in the beginning, it was 1980 before the population passed the 30,000 mark. During the 1970s,the city started to spread west. Land used for farming, ranching, and hunting was being developed for housing, and the city experienced what some newspaper accounts called "the second boom." There has been a significant amount of recent construction outside the boundaries of the historic district. Much of this new development consists of large, out of scale homes along the Intracoastal Waterway. 38 Janus Research 2002, 21.

The district comprises around 11 acres and is bounded on the north by Lake Ida Road(N.E. 4th Street), on the east by 1st Avenue, on the south by 2nd Street, and on the west by 1st Avenue and Swinton Avenue. The boundaries of the historic district are shown as a dashed line on the accompanying map. Boundary Justification The boundary represents the extent of historic buildings built within the 1920-1960 period of significance in the Old School Square Historic District. Two buildings constructed prior to 1920 are also considered contributing. �ildings shown outside the boundary line were constructed after 1960 or may have been constructed within#liriod of significance but were severely altered.

NATIONAL REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION Criteria for Evaluation The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, and: A. That are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or B. That are associated with the lives of significant persons in or past; or C. That embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or D. That have yielded or may be likely to yield, information important in history or prehistory. Criteria Considerations Ordinarily cemeteries, birthplaces, graves of historical figures, properties owned by religious institutions or used for religious purposes, structures that have been moved from their original locations, reconstructed historic buildings, properties primarily commemorative in nature, and properties that have achieved significance within the past 50 years shall not be considered eligible for the National Register. However, such properties will qualify if they are integral parts of districts that do meet the criteria or if they fall within the following categories: • a. A religious property deriving primary significance from architectural or artistic distinction or historical importance; or b. A building or structure removed from its original location but which is primarily significant for architectural value, or which is the surviving structure most importantly associated with a historic person or event; or c.A birthplace or grave of a historical figure of outstanding importance if there is no appropriate site or building associated with his or her productive life; or d.A cemetery that derives its primary importance from graves of persons of transcendent importance, from age, from distinctive design features, or from association with historic events; or e. A reconstructed building when accurately executed in a suitable environment and presented in a dignified manner as part of a restoration master plan, and when no other building or structure with the same association has survived; or f. A property primarily commemorative in intent if design, age,tradition, or symbolic value has invested it with its own exceptional significance; or g. A property achieving significance within the past 50 years if it is of exceptional importance. National Register of Historic Places Program: Fundamentals The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the Nation's historic places worthy of preservation. Authorized by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to ident , evaluate, and protect America's historic and archeological resources. Where to Start Results& Owner Information Listing& Ownership Where to Start(How to list a property) The National Register nomination process usually starts with your State Historic Preservation Office* (SHPO). Contact your SHPO or check their web page for National Register information, research materials, and necessary forms to begin the nomination process. If the property is on federal or tribal land, then the process starts with the Federal Preservation Office or Tribal Preservation Office. (More on FPO and TPOs.) How are Properties Evaluated? To be considered eligible, a property must meet the National Register Criteria for Evaluation. This involves examining the property's age, integrity, and significance. • Age and Integrity. Is the property old enough to be considered historic (generally at least 50 years old) and does it still look much the way it did in the past? • Significance. Is the property associated with events, activities, or developments that were important in the past?With the lives of people who were important in the past?With significant architectural history, landscape history, or engineering achievements?Does it have the potential to yield information through archeological investigation about our past? National Register Listing Process •Nominations can be submitted to your SHPO from property owners, historical societies, preservation organizations, governmental agencies, and other individuals or groups. Official National Register Nomination Forms are downloadable or from your State Historic Preservation Office. National Register Bulletins can also provide guidance on how to document and evaluate certain types of properties. Sample Nominations provide additional useful information. • The SHPO notifies affected property owners and local governments and solicits public comment. If the owner(or a majority of owners for a district nomination) objects, the property cannot be listed but may be forwarded to the National Park Service for a Determination of Eligibility(DOE). • Proposed nominations are reviewed by your state's historic preservation office and the state's National Register Review Board. The length of the state process varies but will take a minimum of 90 days. • Complete nominations, with certifying recommendations, are submitted by the state to the National Park Service in Washington, D.C. for final review and listing by the Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places. The National park Service makes a listing decision within 45 days. *Note: National Register nominations of Tribal properties start with the Tribal Historic Preservation Officer.National Register nominations of federal properties start with the agency's Federal Preservation Officer. Results & Owner Information Listing in the National Register of Historic Places provides formal recognition of a property's historical, architectural, or archeological significance based on national standards used by every state. Results include: •Becoming part of the National Register Archives, a public, searchable database that provides a wealth of research information. •Encouraging preservation of historic resources by documenting a property's historic significance. •PrQviding opportunities for specific preservation incentives, such as: >Federal preservation grants for planning and rehabilitation >Federal investment tax credits >Preservation easements to nonprofit organizations >International Building Code fire and life safety code alternatives •Possible State tax benefit and grant opportunities. Check with your State Historic Preservation Office for historic property incentives available within your state. • Involvement from the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation when a Federal agency project may affect historic property. •Find out information on the care and maintenance of your historic property through various NPS Preservation Briefs and Tech Notes. •Network with other historic property owners, tour historic areas, or chat with preservationists through Conferences, Workshops, and Preservation Organizations. • Celebrate your listing by ordering a bronze plaque that distinguishes your property as listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Listing and Ownership •National Register listing places no obligations on private property owners. There are no restrictions on the use,treatment,transfer, or disposition of private property. •National Register listing does not lead to public acquisition or require public access. • A property will not be listed if, for individual properties, the owner objects, or for districts, a majority of property owners object. •National Register listing does not automatically invoke local historic district zoning or local landmark designation. •.Federal Regulation 36 CFR 60 authorizes the National Register of Historic Places. • Contact your State Historic Preservation Office(SHPO)for any specific state rules or regulations Federal Agency Historic Preservation In conjunction with the Secretary of the Interior, all Federal agencies establish their own historic preservation programs for the identification, evaluation, and protection of historic properties as mandated in Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act. These individual agency programs vary greatly in scope, depending on the degree to which the agency owns, controls, or affects historic properties. The NPS Federal Agency Preservation Assistance Program carries out a number of activities to assist Federal agencies in meeting their historic preservation responsibilities. Check with the Federal Preservation Officer(FPO)within a particular federal agency for additional information. Tribal Historic Preservation The NPS Tribal Preservation Program assists Indian tribes in preserving their historic properties and cultural traditions. Among the responsibilities assumed by these tribes are conducting historic property surveys, maintaining permanent inventories of historic properties, nominating properties to the National Register of Historic Places, and reviewing Federal agency assisted projects. Contact the specific tribal officer from the following list of Tribal Preservation Officers for additional information.

Is the property old enough to be considered historic(generally at least 50 years old) and does it still look much the way it did in the past? • Significance. Is the property associated with events, activities, or developments that were important in the past?With the lives of people who were important in the past?With significant architectural history, landscape history, or engineering achievements?Does it have the potential to yield information through archeological investigation about our past? National Register Listing Process •Nominations can be submitted to your SHPO from property owners, historical societies, preservation organizations, governmental agencies, and other individuals or groups. Official National Register Nomination Forms are downloadable or from your State Historic Preservation Office.National Register Bulletins can also provide guidance on how to document and evaluate certain types of properties. Sample Nominations provide additional useful information. • The SHPO notifies affected property owners and local governments and solicits public comment. If the owner(or a majority of owners for a district nomination) objects, the property cannot be listed but may be forwarded to the National Park Service for a Determination of Eligibility(DOE). •Proposed nominations are reviewed by your state's historic preservation office and the state's • National Register Review Board. The length of the state process varies but will take a minimum of 90 days. • Complete nominations,with certifying recommendations, are submitted by the state to the National Park Service in Washington, D.C. for final review and listing by the Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places. The National park Service makes a listing decision within 45 days. *Note:National Register nominations of Tribal properties start with the Tribal Historic Preservation Officer.National Register nominations of federal properties start with the agency's Federal Preservation Officer. Results & Owner Information Listing in the National Register of Historic Places provides formal recognition of a property's historical, architectural, or archeological significance based on national standards used by every state. Results include: •Becoming part of the National Register Archives, a public, searchable database that provides a wealth of research information. •Encouraging preservation of historic resources by documenting a property's historic significance. •Providing opportunities for specific preservation incentives, such as: >Federal preservation grants for planning and rehabilitation >Federal investment tax credits >Preservation easements to nonprofit organizations >International Building Code fire and life safety code alternatives •Possible State tax benefit and grant opportunities. Check with your State Historic Preservation Office for historic property incentives available within your state. • Involvement from the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation when a Federal agency project may affect historic property. •Find out information on the care and maintenance of your historic property through various NPS Preservation Briefs and Tech Notes. •Network with other historic property owners, tour historic areas, or chat with preservationists through Conferences, Workshops, and Preservation Organizations. • Celebrate your listing by ordering a bronze plaque that distinguishes your property as listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Listing and Ownership •National Register listing places no obligations on private property owners. There are no restrictions on the use,treatment,transfer, or disposition of private property. •National Register listing does not lead to public acquisition or require public access. • A property will not be listed if, for individual properties, the owner objects, or for districts, a majority of property owners object. •National Register listing does not automatically invoke local historic district zoning or local landmark designation. •.Federal Regulation 36 CFR 60 authorizes the National Register of Historic Places. • Contact your State Historic Preservation Office(SHPO)for any specific state rules or regulations Federal Agency Historic Preservation In conjunction with the Secretary of the Interior, all Federal agencies establish their own historic preservation programs for the identification, evaluation, and protection of historic properties as mandated in Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act. These individual agency programs vary greatly in scope, depending on the degree to which the agency owns, controls, or affects historic properties. The NPS Federal Agency Preservation Assistance Program carries out a number of activities to assist Federal agencies in meeting their historic preservation responsibilities. Check with the Federal Preservation Officer(FPO)within a particular federal agency for additional information. Tribal Historic Preservation The NPS Tribal Preservation Program assists Indian tribes in preserving their historic properties and cultural traditions. Among the responsibilities assumed by these tribes are conducting historic property surveys, maintaining permanent inventories of historic properties, nominating properties to the National Register of Historic Places, and reviewing Federal agency assisted projects. Contact the specific tribal officer from the following list of Tribal Preservation Officers for additional information.

We concur with the recommendation to exclude the new construction inquare trusions along N.W. and S.W. 1st Avenue, since this redrawing of boundaries strengthens the densityof contributing structures within the district.
