CITY OF RELAY BEACH FIRE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO : DAVID T. HARDEN, CITY MANAGER FROM: KERRY B . KOEN, FIRE CHIEF DATE: AUGUST 3 , 1990 SUBJECT: SUNDY FEED STORE - N. RAILROAD-AVENUE As you know we are very concerned with the condition and risk associated with the Sundy Feed Store. This building is intended to be relocated to the Morikiami Site as part of Local and State historical preservation efforts. Funding for the relocation cost was included in the recently passed State budget . I understand that the plan is to "section" the building and move it westward and it depends upon obtaining the services of a building moving company with certain equipment and experience. Yesterday , I learned from Pat Cayce, the City ' s Historic Preservation Planner, that this work might be accomplished in October. On Monday of this week, we observed that a portion of the front the building has been pulled off, which might have allowed entry into the structure . Code Enforcement and Fire Prevention officers inspected the site and found that up to 15 mattresses were inside the building with evidence that the structure is being used by a number of individuals from time to time. They are apparently entering the building from underneath the structure and climbing through the floor. We are maintaining close surveillance of the site and the Police Department has increased its patrol of the area. All possible efforts are being made to insure that the building is secured, but overall it is very difficult , if not impossible to accomplish, due to the condition of the structure itself . The owners have been very cooperative and they too want to see the building preserved. Everyone is doing all that can be done to see that this project is accomplished successfully . However , I must point out that the building is a serious risk to the community if a fire should occur. Our tactics will have to be defensive in nature . There are serious exposures on three sides including a lumber yard, an electrical supply company and Florida Power and Light Electric substation . In addition , fire hydrant distribution in this area is not the best , and water supply will certainly be a problem. In addition , due to the close proximity of the exposures , access to the site is largely limited to the Railroad Avenue frontage.

If the moving process can not be achieved within this time, I will recommend and request that the City move forward with action to abate the hazards involved. Kerry B.

PURPOSE The purpose of the Sundy Feed Store nomination on the Local Register of Historic Places is: A) create awareness of the town's architectural and historical buildings, B) provide a example of appreciation for a particular era of the town's development, C) encourage restoration and adaptive reuse of a structurally sound building, and D) acknowledge the economic contribution of one of Delray Beach's first families, the Sundy Family. II. LOCATION (SURVEY ATTACHED) The Sundy Feed Store is located west of the spur tracks of the main line of the FEC Railway. It is North of East Atlantic Avenue and directly North of the FPL transformer station, East of Ocean City Lumber, and 153 feet south of Northeast 1st Street. The building faces East on what is commonly known as Railroad Way. The legal description is: the south 85 feet of the North 153 feet of Lot 1, Block 84, Delray Beach, Palm Beach County. It represented the first point of embarkation for all agricultural supplies reaching the community from the North. A similiar supply depot was established on West Atlantic Avenue west of the Seaboard Railway station during the mid 1930's. While the nearby Ocean City Lumber Company provided the community with imported building materials, the Sundy Feed Store served the local farmers. Adjacent to the town's first power station (c. 1914) , it was one of the town's first electrified buildings. III. STRUCTURE Built in c. 1912 by Issac Taylor, a village carpenter, the SFS was constructed as a tomato packing house. It was purchased (c. 1913) by John Shaw Sundy as a distribution point for the Wilson and Toomer Fertilizer Company. The building is one of the town's few remaining structures with original building materials and dimension. Constructed on a battered brick foundation, of Georgia and Dade County Pine, the building is 50' x 100' (5,000 s.f. area) and approximately 25-30 feet in height. The four-sided, rectangular structure displays a steep gable on its East and West elevations, and is capped with the original tin roof. All glass window frames has been removed, but the original openings are still detectable on all four sides with double hung wood frame sash accenting the loft area. Double wooden doors are centered on the loading docks on all four sides. The building features a post and beam frame with structural truss supports, and an upper level loft which travails above the entire East-West floor area. Two open staircases reach the upper loft. The building was painted light grey in color from 1915. Today the structure is unpainted. IV. HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE John Shaw Sundy (1864-1947) , the town's first Mayor, prominent Bank Director, and farmer (greenbeans, lima beans, peppers, pineapples) and his descendants School Board members operated the SFS from c. 1913 to 1977. The Sundy House (1902) on South Swinton Avenue is one of few pioneer houses left in Delray Beach. The SFS was the first store of its kind in the area. It vended fertilizer, feed, hay, crate material, plows, farm implements, and seeds. It provided valuable resources to the emerging farming community. During the early 1920's, the SFS loading area was the point of arrival for mules trained from Missouri and Kentucky to build the road network for neighboring Boca Ratone (original spelling) . The Sundy Family was active as hay brokers from Ohio and New York commodity markets. Addie Sundy (1895- ) , daughter of John Sundy, operated the store with her sister Sadie Sundy - after their father's death in 1947. According to Miss Addie Sundy, despite the bank collapses of the 1920's and subsequent depression, the SFS continued to supply the area farmers in order to keep seasonal crops at high levels. The SFS serves as a reminder that Delray Beach was one of the most substantial farming towns in Florida and its produce was shipped around the country. During the early years, the SFS was visited by Seminole Indians who purchased salt to cure hides. Architecturally, the building exhibits a remarkable structural integrity and reveals a quality of enduring craftsmanship and building materials. Original dimensions with minor alterations and original building materials are all contained in this exemplary commercial vernacular structure. V. PRESENT USE, CONDITION AND ZONING The SFS served as a vital commercial structure from c. 1913 - 1977 when it was purchased by the Ocean City Lumber Company. It is currently used as a minimal storage area by the Lumber Company. The Historic Preservation Board has been informed by the owners of the Ocean City Lumber that Misner Electric Company (adjacent property owner on the Northside of SFS) has optioned the property. The electric company intends to demolish the building and use the site for a parking lot. The building is structurally sound, yet has been neglected. Except for minimal termite intrusion, the SFS exhibits remarkable craftsmanship and carpentry. The SFS has sustained only minor water damage during several hurricanes. Due to its size and weight, the building can not be moved intact. The site is currently zoned Central Business District. VI. IMPACT The SFS location provides an historical streetscape continuity with the now removed FEC train station and the Ocean City Lumber Company; reminiscent of a time when the railroad was the principal means of transporation and commerce - in Delray Beach. Its removal would eliminate the final glimpse of the vital role that agriculture played in the town's development. VII. RESOLUTION The Historic Preservation Board (HPB) of Delray Beach accepts this designation report and resolution to place the Sundy Feed Store on its Local Register of Historic Places. The HPB finds that the Sundy Feed Store is consistent with the City's acknowledgement of its architectural and historical resources. Further, the designation serves as a permanent reminder of Delray Beach's agricultural roots, and as a contribution of one of its first families, the Sundy Family.

Morikami, who donated the museum and park sites,lived on land on or near the proposed agricultur- al exhibit for several years before his death in 1976, Rosenweig said.

Should any of these concepts conflict with local or other applicable ordi- nance or regulation, the applicable ordinance or regulation shall apply. The reader is urged to contact the City of Delray Beach and the Community Redevelopment Agency - (CRA) for information pertaining to comprehensive plans, land development regula- lions, and other such codes and ordinances. i References to parking requirements and related considerations appear in several Sec- tions, notably, Section 2 and Section 5, among others. This plan contains recommen - . dations and possible future actions that local authorities might consider for future implementation . Nothing contained in this Plan is intended to imply nor express that the City of Defray Beach , nor its agencies and authorities, have accepted the recom- - _ mendations with respect to paging issues. This Neighborhood Plan is a compilation of community input and was adopted by the Board of Directors of Pineapple Grove Main Street , Inc . , (PGMS ) for presentation to - the conununity . The Board invites input from all who review the Plan , which remains a " work in process " , and will thoughtfully consider any and all constructive recommen- dations . The elements of the Neighborhood Plan have been reviewed and endorsed by the i _ Delray Beach City Commission and other local authorities . City and CRA staff are working with PGMS to prioritize projects , identify implementation responsibilities , and I - formulate implementation schedules . Budgets and sources of funding are also being de - , veloped . 1 • -- li!

P II - _ 11 Background & Overview Late 1980s—The "Pioneers " to Revitalization . 11 Perhaps the lowest point for the area known today as Pineapple Grove was reached during the mid- 1980s when the neighborhood was virtually abandoned by all but a few determined merchants . Most properties , residential and non- residential , were I owned by absentee owners who paid little if any attention to the well-being of the neighborhood or the individual properties . Single family homes were commonly rented to multiple -family dwellers ; crime was considerable ; the streets were popu- lated by the homeless . During the late 1980s , several area merchants and property owners joined with others in the community concerned with downtown conditions and formulated a 0 plan intended to stem the downward trend . With support of local government , they initiated some streetscape and landscaping improvements , installed some outdoor artworks , had the neighborhood officially named " Pineapple Grove " , and changed the name of four blocks of Northeast 2nd Avenue to " Pineapple Grove Way " , among other improvements . l These well -meaning initiatives , however , were not enough —the neighborhood , IIthough improved to some degree , remained blighted . The Florida Main Street Program . I In 1994 , the Delray Beach Joint Venture sponsored consideration of the Florida Main Street program for Delray Beach , encouraging as its initial focus the com- mercial core of the Pineapple Grove neighborhood . Several local residents and property owners organized and incorporated Pineapple Grove Main Street, Inc . , to administer the program, and the area from Atlantic Avenue to NE 4th Street , along NE 1st Avenue , Pineapple Grove Way , and NE 3 `d Avenue was selected as the II program ' s focus area . Following review of an application prepared by Pineapple Grove Main Sweet , Inc . , then-Secretary of State , Jim Smith , designated Defray Beach a Florida Main Street community in August , 1994 , and PGMS began its first fiscal year on October 1 , 1994 . The Main Street program for revitalization is driven by grass roots initiatives in partnership with local , state , and federal government . It is incremental in nature and utilizes a comprehensive , four-point approach consisting of Design , Organiza- tion , Promotion , and Economic Restructuring . The Planning Process . After first identifying the community ' s vision for the program area , and then test- I ing the vision with a market analysis , Pineapple Grove Main Street, Inc . , organized and conducted a planning and design charrette in March , 1996 . The two-day char- 1 rette was attended by 83 participants including elected officials , City administra- tors , representatives from other downtown agencies and organizations , Pineapple Grove business and property owners , and the general public . The charrette produced sketch drawings and an outline of recommendations re- 1 fleeting the unanimous or near-unanimous consensus of the participants . These rec - I I I Updated 03 / 16 /98 4 : 32 PM ii ' t i i , 1 ommendations formed the basis for the comprehensive Neighborhood Improvement Plan for "Main Street " in the Grove . Neighborhood Improvement Plan . All aspects of neighborhood improvement are reflected in the Plan , including capi- oid tal projects , zoning and policy considerations , non-capital programs and projects , funding , and implementation . The thrust of the Plan is to bring back the social and economic vibrancy Pineapple Grove once enjoyed . Pineapple Grove is a unique neighborhood in downtown Delray Beach , and can be - 011111111 come a productive complement to the Atlantic Avenue renaissance . It has a special history and the potential for a future centered on arts-related activities . The well being of Pineapple Grove is key to the sustainability of the community ' s investment in downtown Delray Beach . Charrette participants view the Main Street program area in three principal compo- 111111111 nents : NE 1 ' Avenue is principally residential in character . Most properties are single family residential structures and house a mix of residential and non-residential Pintuses . The Plan encourages the continuation of this character . Pineapple Grove Way is a commercial corridor . The Plan proposes to empha- size the pedestrian use of the corridor and calm the flow of traffic . Capital im- provements to the corridor will create an environment similar to that on Atlan- tic Avenue between Swinton Avenue and NE 6th Avenue , although the charac- ter will be distinct to the Grove . NE 3 `t1 Avenue features uses that are productive economically . Light manufac- turing , assembly , distribution , and service industries are predominant . The 2- block corridor is an valuable jobs center that benefits the neighborhood ' s econ - omy . Charrette participants want to continue these elements , while adding lighting for security and other relatively modest improvements to the area . The Plan also proposes projects and elements that extend beyond those typically as- sociated with " redevelopment " . It addresses image enhancement features , activi- ties , and programs designed to create an environment enriched with educational opportunities and appeal . For the merchants and businesses , the Plan describes programs underway in Pine- apple Grove Main Street , Inc . , designed to strengthen and retain those who are al - ready located in the program area , and recruitment programs to attract new busi- nesses . Participation PGMS Committees and Resource Teams When the two-day Charrette concluded , the work of the volunteers began . PGMS sub-committees met on a weekly basis to translate the outline of projects identified by Charrette participants into the Neighborhood Plan here presented . Committee members , numbering nearly 100 , included neighborhood property and business owners , neighborhood residents , others from throughout Delray Beach , and profes - sionals in the fields of design , planning , construction , finance , real estate , and so forth . All in all , hundreds of individuals have contributed their input to this Plan . Updated 03 / 16 /98 4 : 32 PM I Public Officials In addition to committee members from the private sector , several administrators from the City of Delray Beach and the Community Redevelopment Agency volun- teered their " after-hours " services . Summary of Proposals Capital Projects . Streets; sidewalks; utilities; cable . The proposed improvements are in keeping with the character description set forth earlier in this Summary . The first and third blocks of NE 1 ' Avenue have been improved in recent years . The Plan proposes to emulate these recent improvements in the second and fourth blocks . Transformation of Pineapple Grove Way from a vehicular- to a pedestrian-friendly environment focuses much of the streetscape work along this corridor . The Plan proposes to widen sidewalks , narrow the traffic lanes , and meander the street block-by -block from NE Street to NE 4th Street . Improvements to NE 3 `d Avenue and NE r , 2nd , and 3 `d Streets are more modest . During the construction of improvements of streets and sidewalks , underground utilities can be upgraded as necessary and overhead cable can be buried wherever feasible . Public parking. Several locations are identified that might be suitable for future public parking lots . The sites are located behind and east of the Pineapple Grove Way businesses ; three are vacant properties in the second , third , and fourth blocks , and two others are small , privately owned parking lots not presently " attached " to a particular building . Lighting . The design of the proposed decorative street lighting will further distin- guish Pineapple Grove as a " special " downtown neighborhood center . Gateways, Obelisks, and Kiosks are enhancements that draw people into the neigh- borhood by distinguishing it as a distinctive destination within the downtown . The arched gateways spanning the north and south ends of Pineapple Grove Way , artis- tic obelisks at other neighborhood points of entry , and decorative informational ki- osks within the neighborhood are designed to identify the Grove and attract visi- INN tors . Landscaping and Street Furniture provides shade , comfort, and resting places for pedestrians . Strolling is encouraged and enhanced along Pineapple Grove Way . Transportation plan . To facilitate access from east bound Atlantic Avenue , a left turn arrow is proposed at Pineapple Grove Way with the east bound light extended accordingly . As optional considerations , the Plan suggests the uses of narrowed traffic lanes , round -abouts , and traffic humps to calm the flow of traffic , particularly along Pine- 1111111 apple Grove Way . The downtown bypass is also addressed . Pineapple Grove Arts Park . A neighborhood park, with such features as pathways , park benches , play equipment , water elements , and a band shell adds charm and flavor reminiscent of the traditional downtown . The Plan recognizes the scarcity of Updated 03 / 16 /98 4 : 32 PM iv id _ . . _ land in Pineapple Grove , and suggests that the park might replace an existing , pri - vately-owned parking lot on Pineapple Grove Way . The concept is demonstrated using the site of the " old Winn Dixie " parking lot, however , no specific site is pro- posed. For the park to become a reality at any location , several factors must first be resolved . Zoning & Policy Considerations ' . Zoning modifications are proposed to conform Pineapple Grove Way to the Atlan- tic Avenue corridor , thereby enhancing the likelihood of infill construction . Transportation plan . The Plan proposes to prohibit all truck traffic along Pineapple Grove Way (alleys will accommodate deliveries) and prohibit through trucks along NE 1 ' Avenue . Public transportation will become increasingly important to the long-term, sustain- able success of the downtown . The plan encourages two forms , one to transport visitors to and from the downtown , and a second within the downtown . Public parking . In-lieu parking fees paid for Pineapple Grove projects should be earmarked for future public parking projects in the Grove . Over time , the structure and process of the in-lieu fee must be reconsidered for parking in the urban down- town . In order for in- fill construction to become a reality , every effort must be made to encourage private investment and reinvestment on properties now utilized for private off-street parking with public right-of-way frontage . PGMS is collecting and studying parking plans currently in use by communities elsewhere . The intent of the Plan is to identify and implement parking strategies , involving both the pub- ; _ lic and private sectors , that foster a positive investment environment in the down- town while enhancing the supply of parking . Lighting guidelines are suggested for privately-owned properties that will comple- ment and add to streetlight illumination of the sidewalk. Programs and Projects—Non-Capital Cultural Arts Plan . Many locations are identified for outdoor sculpture and mural art, creating an outdoor art gallery throughout the program area that serves as a " magnet" to Delray Beach residents and visitors . The art plan will address the re- view and selection process , insurance , maintenance , and other pertinent considera- tions . The plan to attract performing arts organizations is also a key consideration . Façade improvements are encouraged with the availability of small matching grants , low interest loans , micro-loans , technical assistance , and professional serv - ices . Landscaping and street furniture on privately owned properties are similarly en- couraged and will further enhance public right-of-way improvements . Residential mixed-use development on upper floors of two- and three -story build- ings . Several properties within the Program Area are suggested for upper floor residential dwellings , including the areas above surface parking lots , and upper floors of multi-level parking garages . The Plan recommends modifications to Land 110. Development Regulations where appropriate to facilitate the residential use , and the use of financial and/or tax incentives is encouraged . Updated 03 / 16/98 4 : 32 PM INN I ill _ Environmental assessments are recommended for properties that might pose envi - ronmental challenges and are proximate to business operations . Historic preservation plan . An estimated 86 % of the properties built in the pro - gram area are post-World War II construction . Nonetheless , several are potentially significant historic properties , and the neighborhood itself is rich in history . A de- tailed study is proposed that can demonstrate the programs best suited to emphasize the historic character of the neighborhood and preserve the appropriate properties . Economic restructuring. Research by Pineapple Grove Main Street , Inc . , has identified several professional services available to the small business person at lit- tle or no cost . The availability of these services is being shared with Pineapple Grove businesses on an as-needed basis . The plan proposes to " institutionalize " this service and introduce periodic educational workshops along similar lines . Pineapple Grove Main Street , Inc . , is building a database of every property and business in the program area . Once completed , the database will be continually up- dated and shared with other downtown interests , including the City , CRA , DDA , and Chamber of Commerce . The accurate inventory of properties and businesses allows us to better match the business prospect with available locations , thus fa- cilitating our new business recruitment activities . Outreach and marketing plans are described for the Plan itself ( including work- shops designed for public education , input , and consensus building) , the Pineapple Grove neighborhood , and the Pineapple Grove Main Street, Inc . , program . Funding The projects and programs proposed in the Plan will be funded by a variety of public sector and private sector sources . The goal is to formulate a funding strategy that equitably distributes the costs among the parties at interest , utilizing outside dollars wherever possible . Possible sources include : • Local Government • Capital improvements bond issue • Business Improvement District ( BID)/ special assessments • Grants (governmental and private foundations) ill • Sponsors/underwriters • Other sources (donations , gifts , membership dues , endowments , etc . ) 110 i Implementation Strategies Projects associated with capital budgets of local government will be scheduled for construction in collaboration with the appropriate authorities . Several of the related on projects will necessarily be undertaken in sequence . Projects , programs , zoning , and policy considerations not reliant on local govern- ment capital budgets will be implemented on an independent schedule . Conclusion The proposals of the Plan are comprehensive , productive , and conducive to the return of economic vitality and quality of life in Pineapple Grove . Projects and programs can be instituted incrementally , thereby lessening any potential strain on capital budgets of local government . Every effort is being made to identify and contribute sources of funding from outside local government . Updated 03 / 16/98 4 : 32 PM vi m - - Overall , the Plan will considerably improve the business and living environment for Pineapple Grove . Increased property assessments and the enhanced flow of other tax revenues associated with the improved economy will yield a handsome return on the community ' s investment .

Section 2 • Environmental Assessments Overview Several businesses that have operated in Pineapple Grove for many years are today considered environmentally threatening when practices allow pollutants into the ground , air, water , etc . Rather than facing " unpleasant surprises " in the future , the Plan outlines some steps that might be taken more promptly so that any matters that are discovered can be timely addressed . Beyond the obvious need for mitigation , the type and extent of contamination might 1111 bear on the property ' s potential use and , hence , its current and future market value . Properties suitable for public parking might be cheaper to acquire and decontaminate . Environmental considerations are highly technical and best addressed by professionals so trained . This chapter attempts to address the subject only in general terms . The State ' s Hazardous Waste program is now focusing on dry cleaners throughout sissi 1111 Florida . Also initiated at the State level is a temporary " indemnification " program and clean-up process that will involve State of Florida resources . FDEP may know of a company that has a catalytic chemical that can remediate contamination without the need to excavate and/or pump ground water over the extended (and costly) time frame normally required . A dry cleaning operation may be able to purchase , for $ 1 , 000 , a Florida " insurance policy " . PROCESS —ASSESSMENTS /AUDITS Phase 1 is essentially a " paper search " that utilizes public records information , physical inspection of the site , aerial photographs , etc . , to determine if there is 1111 probable cause to suspect ground water contamination . 1 Phase 2 includes test borings/test wells that draw ground water samples for labo- ratory analysis . Typical well is 2- inch PVC inside a well casing , slotted to allow 11111 water to seep in and be drawn for analysis . Pipe can either be removed after sam- ples are taken or left in place for subsequent use . The objectives are to ( 1 ) locate the area of highest contamination and (2 ) determine the extent to which contamina- Ition has spread . Each well can cost upwards of $500 depending upon its depth .

The so_ Plan ' s overall direction is geared toward the transformation of the public realm in the , Program Area to one that is conducive to its intended character . PIN Of particular importance is the public realm of Pineapple Grove Way , the street along which the flow of pedestrian traffic is most vital to the economy of the neighborhood . The Plan ' s general intent is to afford Pineapple Grove Way the same opportunities as PMAtlantic Avenue by giving Pineapple Grove Way the same tools . The matters addressed below make certain zoning ordinances and regulations already existing elsewhere in the downtown applicable to the Program Area . Additional consid- 04. erations are under study that might , over time , yield new concepts and practices . Three of the City ' s zoning districts apply to various locations within the Program Area , sin specifically : 1 . OLD SCHOOLS SQUARE HISTORIC ARTS DISTRICT (OSSHAD) applies Q PP to properties lying west of the north- south alley situated between Pine- 01111 apple Grove Way and NE 1 ' Avenue , from Atlantic Avenue to NE 3rd Street , and properties lying west of NE 1 ' Avenue between NE 3 " and 4th Streets ; 2 . CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT-RAILROAD CORRIDOR (CBD-RC ) ap- plies to properties lying between NE 2nd Street and NE 4th Street, and gins east of the north/south alley between Pineapple Grove Way and NE 3 ' Avenue , and west of the FEC railroad right-of-way ; and 3 . CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT (CDB) applies to all other properties in the Program Area . PGMS reviewed applicable City Land Development Regulations/Ordinances with a fo- cus on compatibility with Program Area objectives . No modifications are proposed to the OSSHAD nor the CBD-RC districts . Matters pertaining to landscaping , lighting , 110111 parking , are considered elsewhere in this Plan . The following modifications are rec- ommended for CBD ' : onRecommendations Section 4 . 4 . 13 Central Business (CBD ) District . ON Amend the first sentence of (F) (2 ) Open Space to read: A minimum of 10 % non-vehicular open space shall be provided ; however, within the area encompassed by the boundaries of the original Downtown De - velopment Authority as described in Section 8 . 2 . 2 (B ) ; and within the section of the CBD zoning district located east of the Intracoastal Waterway ; and within the section of the CBD zoning district bounded by NE 1 " Street on the south , Lake Ida Road (NE 4`h Street) on the north , the OSSHAD District on the I Deletions are identified by stifl:et e ; additions are identified by underline . Updated 03 /20/98 9 : 16 AM 3 l i e • 0P - - - - west , and , as applicable , the FEC Railroad right-of-way and the CBD - RC Dis- trict on the east , there shall be no minimum open space requirement . Amend (G) (2 ) Setbacks to read: Within the area encompassed by the boundaries of the DDA as originally es- tablished in Section 8 . 2 . 2 (B ) , there shall be no required front , side ( interior) , side ( street) , or rear building setbacks except for the situation where there is no dedicated access to the rear of a building , a ten foot ( 10 ' ) side setback shall be linprovided . Within the area encompassed by the section of the CBD zoning district de- scribed in Section 4 . 4 . 13 (F)(2) , a front setback of not less than five feet (5 ' ) nor greater than ten feet ( 10 ' ) shall be provided , there shall be no required side (interior) , side (street) , or rear building setbacks except for the situation where there is no dedicated access to the rear of a building , a ten foot ( 10 ' ) side set- back shall be provided . Amend (H) Special Regulations ( 1 ) to read: The sale of second hand material , other than verifiable antiques , shall not be allowed within businesses , nor on properties , which have an entry from and/or windows along and/or frontage on East Atlantic Avenue or NE 2"d Avenue (a/k/a Pineapple Grove Way) between East Atlantic Avenue and NE 4th Street . Amend (H) Special Regulations (4) to read: PI Multi- family dwelling units may be located in structures that are comprised of residential units only or in mixed-use buildings that contain a combination of residential and non-residential uses . However, where residential uses are lo- ism cated in structures having frontage on Atlantic Avenue or Pineapple Grove Way , there must be nonresidential uses fronting the Avenue or Way on the ground floor . pi/ Parking requirements Two principal considerations are addressed in connection with Program Area parking matters . OnFirstly , in order to conform parking regulations to those applicable to the Atlantic Avenue corridor in the " downtown core " , the following modification to Section pin 4 . 4 . 13 Central Business (CBD) District is recommended: Amend (G) Supplemental District Regulations ( 1 ) Parking to read: (a) Within that portion of the CBD bounded by Swinton Avenue on the west , N . E . 1g Street on the North , the Intracoastal Waterway on the east PIN and S . E . 1 ' Street on the south , and the area between NE 1 ' Avenue and NE 3 `d Avenue from NE la Street to NE 4th Street, parking requirements PA shall apply to new floor area only . . . . [No additional modifications are rec - ommended for the remainder of the paragraph] The second principal concern of this Plan relates to the strip center/suburban design 01111 standards that afflicted the Program Area , particularly the properties fronting on Pineapple Grove Way , during the period when much of its built environment was being constructed . ill Updated 03 / 16/98 4 : 32 PM 3 -2 111111 Today , Pineapple Grove Way lacks the sense of linear space , the so-called " out - door room " , that encourages the flow of pedestrian traffic . Atlantic Avenue , from Swinton Avenue to NE 6th Avenue , is a grand example of how the built environ - 101 ment affects the pedestrian flow and , hence , the economic vitality of the area . A While the presence of evening entertainment venues (restaurants , cafés , lounges , PO etc . ) serves as the attraction , it is the relatively unbroken line of building facades and storefronts that compels downtown visitors to stroll the Avenue once they are here . The recommendation set forth above will improve the redevelopment environment along Pineapple Grove Way . It is , however , only one element of the long term so- lution . Private , on-site parking that fronts on the Pineapple Grove Way public right-of-way creates a break in the wall of the " outdoor room" and , hence , an im- pediment to the flow of pedestrian traffic . Infill construction , that replaces these breaks in the wall , is the second element of the long term solution . In order for infill construction to be practicable, the City, CRA, and PGMS must formulate parking considerations that remove the barriers to infill de- ids velopment. By so doing , the investment community will be constrained only by market condi - tions which , over time , will encourage infill construction . All parties , including lo- 011. cal government and the taxpayers of Delray Beach , ultimately benefit . regarding in -lieu parkingfees . Specific focus is also encouraged g g The theory of in - lieu fees is sound ; however , the structure and application of the program in the urban environment is a two-edged sword . Certainly , the goal of building out the urban center , within the context of the community ' s vision , is a ON priority of equal stature with providing ample parking . The in - lieu fee is but one of many possible funding sources for public parking . Alternative funding sources for public parking must be identified and evalu - ated; those deemed appropriate should be incorporated as early as practica- ble. Concurrently, strategies related to downtown parking provisions can be compiled, evaluated, and considered. The objective is to create a downtown environment that provides adequate parking for the foreseeable future, with responsibilities shared by public sector and private sector interests, while also encouraging continued investment and in-fill development. 1 Uses PGMS reviewed the permitted and conditional uses pertaining to the Program Area . Many uses are not in keeping with the community ' s Vision for Pineapple Grove and/or its " Main Sweet " , Pineapple Grove Way . The following uses should not be permitted anywhere in the Program Areal: • Abused spouse residences • Shooting ranges • Gun shops • Adult entertainment establishments • Service stations (except those with frontage on N . E . 4th Street) 2 Some of the listed uses arc already addressed in the City ' s LDRs . Updated 03 / 16 /98 4 : 32 PM 3 - 3 1 _ _ _ • Tattoo and /or body piercing shops 01111 • Psychics On Pineapple Grove Way, any new second hand/thrift stores should be pro - hibited. Within the Program Area, the following uses should be permitted only in that portion zoned CBD-RC: • Retail or wholesale automotive parts sales • Lawn care equipment sales , • Contractor ' s yards/storage areas Public telephones are a " use " of sorts that can constitute a nuisance in a neighbor- hood when not effectively managed and controlled . :1E Within the Program Area, prohibit outdoor public telephones anywhere on the exterior of privately owned properties. Outdoor public telephone should only be permitted that are: 1) located within public rights-of- way; 2) housed in a booth or kiosk approved by PGMS and local gov- ernment; and 3) managed by, and with revenues benefiting, local government and/or PGMS. Dumpsters are the method for solid waste disposal most commonly used by indi - vidual businesses . In the urban environment , with its relatively high concentration of businesses , the number of dumpsters located behind the businesses can be over- whelming . Secondly , some areas of Downtown Delray Beach are experiencing something on the order of " turf wars " over the use of dumpsters . PGMS encourages the City to consider a plan to centralize solid waste collec- tion, reduce the numbers of dumpsters that serve downtown businesses, and share the costs of disposal. Ois Updated 03 /20 /98 9 : 17 AM 3A 111 Section 4 • Transportation Plan and Strategy Overview The success of the Program Area , particularly along Pineapple Grove Way , is directly related to the transformation of its environment from " vehicular- friendly " to " pedes- trian - friendly " . While identified as a Collector street , Pineapple Grove Way serves as a Local street . Nonetheless , due to traffic volume , speed , and composition ( it is widely used by delivery trucks and tractor- trailers) , Pineapple Grove Way is a highly pedes- trian-unfriendly environment (all other streets in the Program Area are Local ) . The de- sirable environment for the Program Area is that all streets become Local , with Col- IN lectors located only at the perimeter . This and the other provisions of the Transportation element will serve to calm the flow of traffic in the Program Area while increasing its traffic capacity and safety . Besides the street design presented elsewhere in this Plan , an issue that has a large im- pact on the pedestrian friendliness of a street is the volume , speed , and type of traffic that uses the street . Vehicular traffic affects pedestrians in two ways : • The volume and speed of vehicles restrict the ability of pedestrians to cross the 111111 street . • The sound and pollution that vehicles emit make the environment noisy and smelly . 11111 To increase pedestrian mobility and reduce crashes , a new discipline within traffic en- gineering has emerged called " traffic calming " . This new concept in the United States runs counter to traditional street design of high speed , high volume , unrestricted vehi- cle movement . Traffic calming involves the placement of devices within the street to deflect vehicles horizontally or vertically . Devices can also be designed to prohibit the entry of larger vehicles by restricting their drive path . The philosophy is make the Fri travel time along the Local street longer than the travel time on alternate , major routes . Traffi c calming almin restricts the movements of drivers who do drive appropriately so that those who drive inappropriately are controlled . To be truly effective , traffic calming should include two actions : • a negative action , the imposition of devices that inhibit vehicle flow ; and • A positive action , a series of improvements along the major roads and at the major intersections to reduce the travel time along the major roads and encour- age drivers to stay on the major roads . Discussion Items Intersections [Note: The use of roundabouts at intersections with Pineapple Grove Way is offered as an option . This Plan views these devices as attractive alternatives to traffic lights and stop signs, while recognizing that their use entails considerable deliberation . 11111 The following review was prepared for Pineapple Grove Main Street, Inc , by the Genesis Group, provided as a service of the Florida Main Street program . ] The most effective , attractive and safe traffic calming device is the modern round- about ( Figure 5 . 1 ) . Modern roundabouts are not like traffic circles of the past . 11111 Updated 03 / 16 /98 4 : 32 PM 4 - 1 I!" 1 Traffic circles were constructed large , to give drivers a high speed of entry , circu - _ _ lation , and exit . Old traffic circles fail because of this high speed philosophy . Modern roundabouts are designed as small as possible to limit vehicle speeds to less than 20 mph and require drivers to yield at the entry into the roundabout . The benefits of roundabouts include : • 50 % - 90 % less crashes than intersections controlled by traffic circles , stop signs , or traffic signals • Higher capacity than intersections controlled by stop signs or traffic signals • Low vehicle speeds • Attractive intersections • Refuge islands provided for pedestrians as they cross the street Roundabouts are safer for pedestrians than all other forms of traffic control . At roundabouts , pedestrians are not faced with threats from drivers turning right on red , making high-speed left turns , or from drivers who are running the red light . At a roundabout , the pedestrian stops at the curb and looks only in one direction , the direction from which vehicles are approaching . When the low -speed traffic crossing is safe , the pedestrian crosses to y ' ` the island refuge , where he or she looksNI gig , ` � , . ; in the opposite direction for approaching s < s PPo 4 `fir ` vehicles . When safe , the pedestrian sT /.44 . - ' _ , - ;s crosses to the opposite curb . _ . a - y .� � � - By combining low speed , refuges , and Pill ,e{ x , w.,�s • :t_t , , � s z : f •simple decision-making , roundabouts '• ` � % 1 oi:" R '-4• have become the safest form of ill F:r ‘ ' _ =' H intersection control in the world for =_� ` '- s :} drivers , pedestrians , and bicyclists . S`''• a 2 If the concept of roundabouts is deemed ikrfydesirable and suitable by the City , their 11111 Fya j Y • Y 4 • �:' x • . ; ; - - r use would be appropriate at two , possibly three , locations in the Program Figure 5 . 1 - Typical RoundaboutIIII Area , specifically , at the intersections of Pineapple Grove Way with NE 2nd and 3 `d Streets . Should the City elect to convert NE 1 ' Street from one-way to two-way travel , a roundabout would also be appro- ' PIS priate at its intersection with Pineapple Grove Way . Another traffic calming device is the " intersection hump " , similar to a speed table . Here , the whole intersection is raised to the top of the curb to help pedestrians IIII cross and to slow vehicles by bringing them up to the pedestrian level . An inter- section hump permits larger vehicles to make turn movements , while the round- abouts restrict the movement of larger vehicles . IIII A hump would be appropriate at the intersection of NE 1 ' Avenue and NE 2nd Street . Locating the device at this intersection , particularly in tandem with the roundabouts on Pineapple Grove Way , will attract services vehicles to NE 2°d Street so that they are limited to one street from which they can enter the alleys and service the Pineapple Grove Way businesses from the rear entrances . The goal is to limit the number of service vehicles that utilize the retail streets . Updated 03/ 16 / 98 4 : 32 PM 4 -2 i ` One-way Bypass The City ' s traffic consultants recently studied , among other matters , the impact of converting NE and SE 1s` Streets , between Swinton Avenue and US 1 , from one - way to two- way streets . Charrette participants recommended this conversion by unanimous consensus for reasons enumerated below . • One-way configuration encourages higher vehicular speeds . High speeds reduce safety to the pedestrian and bicyclist , and increase the likelihood of crashes . • Business interests along the one - way bypass suffer reduced exposure to the passing motorist , thereby negatively affecting the economic vitality of the businesses with resulting negative consequences to the community . • Residential dwellers are adversely impacted by the higher speeds , noise levels , hazards , and pollutants emitted . • Downtown traffic patterns are disrupted by the driver ' s inability to circle a block in search of a business location , parking , etc . The efficient flow of traffic is negatively impacted ; the one - way streets confuse motorists . • The bypass is under-utilized . According to a survey conducted by the City ' s Planning Department , many drivers actually prefer the snail ' s pace of Atlantic Avenue . The traffic consultants concluded that conversion from one-way to two- way travel would have a negligible impact on levels of service at the downtown intersections studied . Furthermore , the study concluded that the overall circulation of traffic would be improved by virtue of the conversion . A further enhancement to circulation is the installation of the roundabout in concert with the conversion . One-way sweets handle higher volumes of traffic more effi- ciently because no driver has to stop and wait for oncoming traffic to pass before turning left . Left-turning vehicles block through vehicles . When the roundabout replaces the traditional intersection of two-way streets , the intention of the driver at the intersection becomes less relevant . Any vehicle enter- ing the roundabout from any direction can , with no adverse impact on the flow of traffic , turn left , turn right, or go straight through . In fact, the left-turn vehicle , once having entered the roundabout, has the right-of- way and so quickly exits the roundabout . The higher the left-turn volume , the bet- ter the roundabout performs . Roundabouts also help drivers make U-turns and thereby enhance circulation within the area . Control of the intersections by roundabouts will further support conversion of the one- way streets back to two -way operation . Traffic circulation will be enhanced while increasing the capacities of the 1 ' Streets . This Plan encourages the City ' s studied consideration of the traffic calming devices discussed above and the conversion of the one -way bypass . In addition to the matters addressed above , the Plan proposes additional strategies to lessen the negative impact of the automobile within the Program Area , as re - flected below .

Updated 03 / 16 /98 4 : 32 PM 4 -4 I i - - - - T - - Section 5 • Public Parking Overview A key element of the Redevelopment Plan is infill development, particularly along Pineapple Grove Way . Many of the areas best suited for infill construction are pres- ently utilized for private , off-street parking lots , and are tied to adjacent buildings . In order for infill to be practicable , and to further attract consumers into the neighbor- hood , convenient locations for public parking must be strategically identified and se - cured at the earliest feasible date . The reconfiguration of Pineapple Grove Way will result in the loss of several on-street, parallel parking spaces . Similarly , the existing inventory of parallel parking on NE 1st Street , between the railroad tracks and Pineapple Grove Way , will be affected if con- 0111 vented from one -way to two-way . The following recommendations provide for surface parking only . The need for multi- level parking structures is unknown at the time of this writing ; however, the Block 76 and Block 82 locations described below might accommodate multi -level structures should future demand dictate . Recommendations Sites identified to accommodate public parking facilities are described on a block-by- block basis , as follows : BLOCK 76 . The CRA has completed Phase 1 of the public parking lot, providing 131 uo( osr, new spaces . BLOCK 83 . Provide a new, public lot on the Carey property, between NE 21'd Street t . Toss, , _af . and the FPL sub station, and the lot immediately east of the Carey property, between the FPL sub stations and Railroad Way . BLOCK 82 . Construct a new public parking lot on the Carey property, between NE 2id Street, NE 3'd Street, NE 3'd Avenue, and the Block 82 alley . This element contem- plates the demolition of the buildings located thereon , except the building (s) deemed historically significant . 16i BLOCK 81 . Construct a new lot for public parking on the northwest corner of NE 3rd Q �& A � Street and NE Xi Avenue (the Vultaggio property), with a small landscape element in aoa Aes the new lot 's southeast corner. Acquire the existing parking lot located south of Lake Ida Road (NE 4th Street), be- tween NE 3rd Avenue and the Block 81 alley, for the use of the general public. BLACKS 81 AND 89 . Identify smaller, vacant lots along NE 3'd Avenue, between NE 3'd and 4`h Streets, that may be suitable parking locations to serve nearby businesses. Pil Formulate a plan for public/private collaboration to acquire and develop parking lo- cations on sites so identified. putt Updated 03 / 16 /98 4 : 32 PM 5 - 1 I _ . _.__ III _ _ _ ___ Section 6 • Residential Mixed-Use Development II Overview 0 The Wall Street Journal, in December , 1997 , opened an article on mixed -use down- town living by relating the following : 0Some of Florida ' s newest residences come without swimming pools , tennis courts or parking . Many are small and in old buildings with no backyard , no golf course nearby - only lots of noise , traffic is and shopping . 11". And the residents say they love it . 3 The demand for residential housing in downtown Delray Beach is a firmly established 4 reality that mirrors similar trends nationwide . Residential real estate agents report that many for-sale homes are under contract for purchase before the " for sale " sign goes up . it The practice of living in apartments above retail , office , and commercial properties in the downtown was commonplace until the mid-twentieth century , when the prolifera- tion of the automobile encouraged new subdivision development in the ever-expanding suburbs . Southeast Florida has grown accustomed to accommodating its rapid popula- tion growth for decades by allowing new development to proceed further and further to ti the west . The consequences of these growth-related policies are now becoming pain- 0 fully evident . New construction on previously undeveloped lands is a frighteningly costly way to ac- commodate growth . Not only does new construction consume increasingly scarce natu- ral resources ( including the land on which it is built and the materials used to build it) , new construction also creates the need for the full array of public services that we all • demand in any community—services such as roads , bridges , public utilities , schools , ri hospitals , libraries , police protection , emergency services , etc . —all of which must be newly produced , thus consuming additional natural resources and prodigious sums of taxpayer dollars . All the while , existing properties in the coastal corridor lie underutil - ized if not altogether abandoned . The growth of South Florida ' s population is projected to continue at one of the nation ' s highest rates well into the 21 a century , and must be accommodated . The most efficient way to do so is by maximizing the use of existing , downtown infrastructure and build- ing space . Downtown residents can easily walk or bike to many of the destinations typically sought on a day-to-day basis—shopping , the beach , dining , evening enter- tainment , etc . Some residents also work downtown . All - in-all , " downtowners " rely far less heavily on the automobile for their daily transportation needs , with the obvious benefits to the economy , environment , and public works . PGMS is an avid proponent of mix -use , residential -above-commercial development in downtown Delray Beach . A number of opportunities are present in the Program Area for new infill development , adaptive reuse projects , and additions to existing proper- ties . Investors should be encouraged in every practicable way to pursue these opportu- nities . 3 " In the Land of Swampy Suburbia, Urban Living Is Gaining a Foothold" by Alma Matas , The Wall Street Journal, Wednesday, December 17 , 1997 Updated 03 / 16/98 4 : 32 PM 6- 1 i I 1 _ _ Recommendations I- Identify the locations with the greatest potential for upper (i. e . , second and/or third) floor residential dwellings. Sites should be sufficiently buffered by distance or physical elements from the FEC II railroad tracks . Suitable locations include the " Old Winn Dixie " property at the northeast corner of Pineapple Grove Way and NE 1 ' Street , all of the properties fronting on Pineapple Grove Way between NE 1 ' and 2"d Streets , the strip center on the east side of Pineapple Grove Way between NE 2"d and 3 " Streets , and the 11 Pineapple Grove Shops strip center on the west side of Pineapple Grove Way be- tween NE 3 'd and 4`h Streets . II Surface parking lots are potential sites for the construction of residential apartments above thelot . Thisof development can also be incorporated into multi-level type d p rp parking garages . Opportunities in the Program Area include the CRA ' s Block 76 parking lot and the public parking locations proposed elsewhere in this Plan , spe- 4 cifically , on the west side of NE 3 'd Avenue between NE 2"d and 3 'd Street, and the Carey property on the southwest corner of NE 3 `d Avenue and NE 2"d Street . iiIdentify and modify any elements of the City 's Land Development Regulations that discourage the development of upper floor residential dwellings. Amend LDR Section 4. 4. 13 (I) (the Performance Standards application to develop- PI ments which would result in a density greater than 30 dwelling units per acre) to in - clude properties zoned CBD between N. E. 2"d Street and N. E. 4th Street. III Maximize the use of financial and/or tax incentives in the earliest stages of upper floor residential development to provide motivation for the "pioneer " inves- tor/developers. I PI pi pp i Updated 03 / 16 /98 4 : 32 PM 6 -2 I IVk I. I ,., Section 7 • Property Acquisition/Uses e Overview II Several elements of this Plan refer to projects that necessitate the acquisition of pri- vatelyowned property for the construction ofpublic improvements , specifically , suit- P P Y P able locations for public parking (Section 5 ) and the location for a neighborhood park (Section 12 ) . Public acquisition of privately owned property is also appropriate for reasons other II than the public ' s use of that property . Local authorities can " assemble " adjacent prop - erties owned individually by several different parties , and then sell the assembled site to a developer who commits to develop or redevelop the property in support of the Neighborhood Improvement Plan . PI Another opportunity for the public sector to assist in the furtherance of the neighbor- hood goals is to acquire property that is encumbered by leasehold and/or easement in - terests detrimental to the neighborhood ' s economy , and/or to acquire property from ab- PIsentee or other owners who are , by their action or inaction , impeding neighborhood progress . pi Overall , the elements of this Plan , as and when implemented , are intended to accom- plish several objectives in Pineapple Grove for the benefit of the neighborhood , the downtown area , and City of Delray Beach as a whole , among which are the following . • Attract the cultural arts • Provide additional neighborhood shopping , entertainment , and educational NI opportunities .

Properties that the Plan suggests for public parking locations include the sites on Blocks 81 , 82 , 83 , and 89 . A41 In addition to this Plan ' s recommendation for new public parking locations , PGMS Its expresses its support for the CRA effort to acquire the two properties necessary to complete the prompt expansion of its Block 76 parking lot . Perhaps more impor- tantly than the near-term addition of surface parking , the acquisition of these prop - erties will render the site suitable for a future multi-level parking facility , should the need arise . Select an appropriate location for a neighborhood park in Pineapple Grove and initi- ate the steps necessary for acquisition . PO The Plan demonstrates that a neighborhood park can be feasibly designed to fit on the existing privately owned parking lot at the northeast corner of Pineapple Grove Way and NE 1 ' Street . However , an alternate site might be more suitable . This PI matter should be studied and the most feasible location identified . Determine the need, if any, for public sector participation in the acquisition and as- PI sembly of properties suitable for upper level residential development. If necessary and appropriate, initiate the steps necessary for acquisition, assembly, and resale of per- tinent properties. Evaluate properties that negatively impact, by their appearance, use, realty interests, etc. , the economic vitality of Pineapple Grove Way. If necessary and appropriate, initiate the steps necessary for acquisition, assembly, and resale of pertinent proper- ties .

As earlier noted , the area itself is significant in the City ' s history , and will afford an opportu - nity for special designation , recognition , and/or treatment . Anything that can heighten the sense of pride in the neighborhood , attract attention , and/or generate additional resources , will be pursued . PGMS research will locate sources of landmark designation elements , and any grants or other assistance avail- able through public and private preservation programs . Strategy for rehabilitation and preservation The following will provide motivation and incentive to owners of historic proper- ties : Identify existing and potential economic incentives, including abatement of property taxes and federal income tax credits . Educate the property owners, local government, and the community about the value and economic benefits associated with historic preservation . Encourage the designation of specific properties to the local Register of His- tonic Properties in order to provide architectural review , protection , and eco- - nomic incentives. Encourage all property improvements and new construction to follow the de- sign guidelines for Pineapple Grove. I 5*+ f 17 - 2 Updated 03 / 16/98 4 : 32 PM _ 0111. Section 18 • Funding Overview In its final form , the Neighborhood Plan will include projects suitable for private sector and public sector funding . Much of the infrastructure (underground projects round utilities , P J roadwork, sidewalks , public parking , and the like ) are typically financed by local gov - ernment . Upgrades such as the arched gateways , obelisks . and signage kiosks offer op- portunities for grants and underwriting . The same is likely for the ecology park and the outdoor art program . A third category of improvements—items such as street lights and landscaping —could be financed by either the public or private sector . Because the Plan is initially presented in its conceptual stage , specific funding sources and responsibilities are not here identified . At the time of this writing , Plan elements are being engineered ; detailed budgets will then be formulated and funding sources identified . The objective of Pineapple Grove Main Street , Inc . , is to formulate a funding strategy that equitably distributes the costs among the parties at interest , utilizing outside dollars wherever possible . Potential sources of funding include the following : 11111 Public Sector Improvements • Public Funds & Grants • Local (CDBG ; Sect . 108 Loan Programs) , County , State , and Federal • Capital Improvement Bonds • Business Improvement District (BID ) or other special assessment 10111 • Private Sector Sponsors Private Property Improvements • Loan programs • Community Development Loan Fund (CDLF) • CRA Low Interest Loans • Palm Beach County Housing Finance Authority • Florida Energy Loan Program • Grants • Sponsors and underwriters INN Updated 03 / 16 /98 4 : 32 PM 18 - 1 sin Section 19 • Outreach & Marketing .1111 Overview PIO For this or any plan to be successful , it must be fully understood by all whom it im- pacts . Certainly , this includes the property owners and businesses in Pineapple Grove . Implementation of the Plan will , however , affect all of Delray Beach , as have other downtown redevelopment projects . A considerable portion of the recommended proj - ects will be financed by the City ' s taxpayers . When completed , the renewal of the neighborhood will impact in a positive way the property values of its owners and , if experience to date is any indication , those of property owners throughout the commu- Jill nity . The Plan can only fail if its elements are unknown to , or misunderstood by , the com- 1111 munity . For this reason , its content must be communicated to the public as thoroughly as possible . PIS Recommendations Neighborhood business & property owners This group will benefit most directly and immediately from successful implementa- 11111 tion of the Plan . As well , a portion of the Plan ' s cost of implementation and/or long-term maintenance may be funded by direct contributions from the neighbor- hood . Accordingly , it is vitally important that Pineapple Grove business and prop- Pill erty owners are thoroughly versed on the Plan and that the Plan ' s final form in- clude consideration of any and all modifications suggested by , and receiving con- sensus support of, those in the neighborhood . PillConduct a series of workshops on various day, at various times, and at various locations throughout Pineapple Grove. Invite by direct mail and person -to-person contact every property and business owner in Pineapple Grove to attend the workshops. Thoroughly explain the Plan 's elements and invite comments, recommendations, and support. Incorporate and recommendations receiving general consensus of Pineapple Grove business and property owners . Public officials City Commissioners , the CRA , and the DDA have the authority to approve for im- plementation the elements of the Plan falling within their respective jurisdiction , NIS and the budgets to contribute funding where appropriate . Staff members of these organizations can play prominent roles in the Plan ' s refinement and budgeting of implementation costs . 0111 Thoroughly familiarize the commissioners and board members with the Plan by presentation in public meetings and delivery of a copy of the Plan to each mem - ber. Review its elements one-on -one with members if necessary . Review and develop the Plan with staff. MN Updated 03 / 16 /98 4 : 32 PM 19- 1 Patrons/shoppers Another important group of Pineapple Grove " stakeholders " are those who cur- rently patronize neighborhood business and those who may be future patrons , in- cluding the tens of thousands who currently shop elsewhere in Delray Beach . Not only is their understanding and support of Plan important , they also represent po- tential new customers for existing and future businesses . Publish and distribute summaries of the Plan, perhaps in the form of brochures or flyers, to patrons and shoppers in Pineapple Grove and elsewhere throughout Delray Beach . Private sector supporters As earlier noted , many of the proposed projects and programs are suitable for pri- vate sector financial support . Corporate and business entities , individuals , private foundations, and other likely funding sources will require full understanding of the Plan before they can consider financial support . Publish an executive summary of the Plan for delivery to, and review with , pro - spective corporate and individual financial supporters. 1114 111111 II 11111 Updated 03 / 16/98 4 : 32 PM 19-2 I 01111 _ I -- PINEAPPLE GROVE MAIN STREET , INC .

ON i 1 Section 8 • Streets, Sidewalks, Utilities, Signage, Cable Overview As with the Transportation element , recommendations for streets , sidewalks , utilities , and cable are intended to enhance the pedestrian-friendly nature of the Program Area . Strolling is most important on the " retail street " of the neighborhood , Pineapple Grove Way . Because NE la Avenue houses a mix of residential and non- residential uses , pe - destrian safety and comfort is an important consideration here as well . The nature of the NE 3 `d Avenue quadrant is less pedestrian oriented . The cross streets serve as con- nectors of the pedestrian flow . The recommendations are designed to accommodate the realization of these desirable environs within the Program Area . Recommendations Roadways & Sidewalks PINEAPPLE GROVE WAY . Reduce the travel lanes from 12 to 11 feet in width each direction such that the total width of the roadway , from Atlantic Avenue to NE 4`h Street (exclusive of parallel park- .xt.b: sN. , ; ; �; �. r ' 1 -=- ing ) , is 22 feet plus parallel zz m 5 4 r— 4Tti KF t� rs2 9 parking . y` Ynt R tO 2 ( :A ff rf NE 1 AVENUE .

Widen existing sidewalks to a minimum of 10 ' , extending the sidewalks into exist- ing rights-of-way . The proposed reconfiguration and sidewalk layout is depicted in Figure 9 . 1 . RAILROAD AVENUE . Resurface from Atlantic Avenue to NE 1 ' Street with paver bricks to match sidewalks . Resurface the east- west alley between Railroad Avenue and Pineapple Grove Way . NE 3 ' AVENUE . Construct a new sidewalk , not less than 6 feet in width , on the west side of the street from NE 2 'd Street to NE 4th Street . CROSS STREETS . Construct sidewalks in the District on both sides of NE r , 2 "d and 3 `d Streets to a minimum of 6 feet in width , or to match existing width where existing is greater than 6 feet . Terminate the sidewalks on both sides of NE 3`d Street at its intersection with NE 3`d Avenue . Construct a new sidewalk on the south side of NE 4th Street from Swinton Avenue to the west side of the FEC railroad track4 Finish the surface of all sidewalks in the District in a brick paver surface to match existing sidewalks along East Atlantic . Utilize existing rights-of- way for all new sidewalk construction . Install curbing as is typical . Intersections and Crosswalks Resurface intersections and street surfaces , listed below , with paver bricks to match the intersection at Pineapple Grove Way and Atlantic Avenue : • NE 1st Avenue at NE r , 2nd , and 3 `d Streets ; • Pineapple Grove Way at NE r , 2nd 31d , and 4th Streets ; • NE 3nd Avenue at NE 3 `d Street; • NE 1 ' Street immediately west of and contiguous to the FEC right-of-way ; and • NE 2°d Street immediately west of and contiguous to the FEC right-of-way . At the two locations contiguous to the FEC right-of-way , the square footage of the resurfaced section of roadway should approximately equal that of a typical inter- section in the District . Extend the paver brick surface along Pineapple Grove Way northward from Atlan- tic Avenue to the first encountered east/west alley , and southward approximately 75 feet from NE 4th Street . Resurface all crosswalks at intersections in the District with paver bricks to match the crosswalks at the Pineapple Grove Way /Atlantic Avenue intersection . 101 JAI ' A portion of the sidewalk was constructed with the improvements to Lake Ida Road . In addition, while outside the scope of this Plan, the sidewalk should probably be extended eastward across the FEC tracks to NE 5d' Avenue . Updated 03 / 16/98 4 : 32 PM 8 -2 /111 Install new crosswalks , surfaced with paver bricks to match the intersections , mid - block on Pineapple Grove Way between NE 1S` and 2nd Streets ; NE 2 "d and 3 `d Streets ; and NE 3rd and 4th Streets . Signage Outdoor graphics plays a considerable role in the long -term success or failure of the downtown . Public sector graphics and signage must contribute to an environ- ment that is memorable , navigable , and marketable . An effective sign system directs vehicular and pedestrian traffic to major destina- tions and amenities such as restaurants , galleries , shops , historic points of interest , residential areas , government centers , parking , etc . As the downtown flourishes , signage must become a priority . PGMS encourages the prompt formulation and implementation of a comprehensive Graphics Master Plan for the downtown . Overhead Power Lines During construction of other infrastructure improvements , and wherever practica- ble , bury overhead cables (electric , telephone and CATV ) along Pineapple Grove Way from Atlantic Avenue to NE 4th Street/Lake Ida Road . Simultaneously there - with , remove and replace existing power poles and street lights with decorative fixtures described elsewhere in this Plan . Consider burying " side street " lines when sidewalk improvements are constructed . The idea is to bury the cable under the sidewalks while the area is free of concrete and pavers , thereby reducing the cost . a S a S Updated 03 / 16 /98 4 : 32 PM 8 -3 I ' I . Section 9 • Lighting Overview Effective outside lighting benefits the neighborhood beyond the obvious . In addition to its contribution of safety and security , proper lighting creates an inviting evening envi- ronment that encourages the neighborhood ' s residents and visitors to stroll throughout the area . One possible outcome of this activity is that the stroller might discover a new shop , new products being offered by a known shop , a place to come back to at a later date (perhaps with friends) . By encouraging the evening stroll and , hence , an environment that further encourages economic activity , the properly lit neighborhood becomes an even more inviting loca- tion to the potential new business and/or investor . Evening activity also serves as a deterrent to crime . A vibrant , nighttime neighborhood is not the place where the " bad guys " choose to hang out . Lighting is a responsibility shared by the public and private sectors . This element of the Plan addresses four types of lighting , specifically , high intensity , street lamps , ambient lighting , and accent or festive lights . Recommendations Design & Placement PGMS recommends that all street and parking lot lighting should be of one "tan - guage ". 0011 Intensity of the light can be varied from location to location by varying the intensity of the lamps . Three priorities are considered in these recommendations— image , function , and energy consumption . 11101 Energy consumption will not vary considerably from one type of lamp to another (except with sodium vapor, which are considered undesirable because of the orange color they emit) . Accordingly , the proposed design focuses more on image and function . The design chosen is the same as the fixtures used on Banker' s Row in downtown Delray Beach (NE 1 ' Avenue between NE and 2m Streets) . All fixtures should be at least 12 ' - 14 ' high , perhaps higher in parking lots and locations where security is the principal consideration . Spacing should be "informal ", staggered from one side of the street to the other, and located to complement, rather than conflict with , street frees. Separation of approximately 75 ' is recommended. 11111 The proposed lamp is metal halide; powder-coated cast aluminum is the recom - mended material for the light pole and fixture . Each light pole should be fitted to accommodate banners. High intensity Used primarily in parking lots and areas less frequented by the evening pedestrian , high intensity lighting is designed for security . Updated 03 / 16 /98 4 : 32 PM 9- 1 Pill - - II 1 iI The Plan recommends high intensity lighting in the light industrial quadrant of the Program Area, along NE 3'd Avenue and the alley running parallel to and east of NE 3'd Avenue. Illumination at the street level should be at least 1 . 5 foot- candles (fc). High intensity is also the appropriate lighting for public parking areas . The level of illumination will be in accordance with City of Delray Beach /CRA standards . Street lamps Lamps along NE 1a Avenue, Pineapple Grove Way, Railroad Avenue, the east- west alley between Railroad Avenue and Pineapple Grove Way, and NE I', 2M and 3n1 Streets should be sized to a pedestrian scale, approximately 12 ' high . Illumination on NE F' Avenue, with its residential character, should be about . 6 fc; along Pineapple Grove Way, 1 - 1 % fc; and along the cross streets, about 1 fc. - Ambient lighting The private sector must be encouraged to fill the gaps between street lights. The lighting from storefront display windows , signage , landscape/outdoor art lighting , etc . , is referred to as " ambient " lighting . PGMS is participating with the Delray Beach Joint Venture ' s considerations of ways in which the private property owners might be encouraged to install and maintain sources of ambient lighting throughout the downtown . Accent/festive lights Strings of tiny white lights on the oak trees lining east Atlantic Avenue are exam- ples of accent or festive lighting . The Plan recommends similar lighting on street trees lining Pineapple Grove Way . Lighting related to the gateways , obelisks , kiosks , and public outdoor art elements , addressed elsewhere in this Plan , are recommended as festive and accent lighting . a PIM PIM SI Pill Updated 03 / 16 /98 4 : 32 PM 9- 2 Illa 1 I Section 10 • Landscaping & Street Furniture Overview 1 Providing ample shade along the sidewalk and convenient locations to stop and rest are elements as important to the pedestrian ' s downtown experience as the sidewalk itself; this is particularly critical in our South Florida summer climate . Of equal , if not greater , importance is sensitivity to the urban ecology . By their nature , downtowns are more densely and intensely developed than the surrounding suburbs . Dense development is a factor that encourages downtown dwellers and visitors to stroll the neighborhoods and patronize the businesses . At the same time , the density of de- velopment can severely restrict the density , locations , and growth of plant materials . Trees , plants , shrubs , and ground cover are natural regulators of light and air . As plant materials " breath " , they filter out certain pollutants and other undesirable materials in the air . Plants give off relatively cool , moist oxygen , thereby acting as natures air con- ditioners . The landscaping recommendations discussed below are necessarily somewhat vague . The Program Area is fortunate to have received a boost in its landscaping in the late 1980s , when the City Commission first addressed the need for focus on the neighbor- hood . Still , some infill plantings are appropriate , albeit best considered on a block-by- block basis as detailed planning proceeds . " Street furniture " and accessories include benches , bollards , trash receptacles , and such . The selections shown are chosen to blend within the Floribbean character of the Pineapple Grove . Recommendations Survey to Locate Existing " LANDMARK " TREES are precious to the neighborhood and the environment . These are trees that have reached such prominence , and have been in place for so long , that many people identify the tree almost as readily as any other landmark of the area . A tree survey of the Program Area will identify any landmark trees and show their MN location . Every effort must be made to preserve landmark trees in place . UNIQUE , SCARCE AND RARE SPECIES . Similarly , any trees revealed by the tree survey to be unique , scarce , rare , or endangered must be considered . Whether on public rights-of- way or privately owned property , protection of unique , . la scarce , and rare materials from future development is paramount and must be con- sidered in light of applicable ordinances , rules , and regulations . Pill PATTERNS OF VEGETATION . The tree survey will identify any vegetative patterns that might be present within the Program Area . The detailed landscape plan will consider the positives and negatives associated with any patterns and make recom- Pillmendations accordingly . Updated 03 / 16/98 4 : 32 PM 10 - 1 1 Ng* Recommended Species 1111/ A listing of tree and plant materials recommended for use in the Program Area is shown in Table 1 . The Table includes the plant ' s common and botanical names , its origin , mature Pillheight , growth form , growth rate , color, and miscellaneous considerations . The materials in the Table are chosen within the context of certain criteria , specifi- cally : • Vegetation that is native to the South Florida and/or the tropics is pre - ferred , although certain others are also appropriate . 0.111 • Recommended " street trees " should provide plenty of shade at maturity and should grow relatively quickly . • The combination of trees and accent plants should show color during the year to add neighborhood interest . • Ground cover , vines , and hanging plants are preferred over hedge materials as accents to the trees . • Hedges should be used sparingly ; they must not impede the flow of pedes- trian traffic along the sidewalk, nor the pedestrian ' s continual , ready access from the sidewalk to the storefront . /1111 Spacing of materials All new plantings must be spaced so that they mature without creating conflict . 11111 Ground covers , vines , hanging plants , and shrubs must not crowd each other out at maturity nor overwhelm their surroundings . Trees must be selected and located on site with at least two concerns in mind : 11111 • The tree canopy at maturity must permit illumination from nighttime light- ing sources to eliminate harsh shadows . • Trees should be spaced so that they do not grow into each other . Vegetative materials must not diminish safety and security . Pedestrian and vehicu- lar traffic must not be impeded by mature materials . 111 1111 011 Updated 03 / 16 /98 4 : 32 PM 10-2 11111 • Street Furniture Specific locations for benches , trash receptacles , and bollards will be identified on a block-by-block basis in the detailed streetscape plans . aa �r_ < , � r s Benches are appropriately located on Pineapple Grove P.� fi � o Way and in a neighborhood park .

Notwithstanding the PGMS corporate name , Pineapple Grove Way is not the " main street " in downtown Delray Beach , nor is Pineapple Grove the downtown core . To maximize the value of investments in the streetscape , Pineapple Grove must be clearly identified as a special place . Neighborhood identification should compel the residents of, and visitors to , Delray Beach to explore Pineapple Grove and discover its assets and offerings . The recommendations in this element support the goal of enhanc- ing the neighborhood identification . A second consideration addressed in this element is the need to provide information and direction to visitors once they arrive . Signage " kiosks " are proposed to satisfy this 111111 need .

James Howard Kuntsler refers to a consensus among members of the Congress for the New Urbanism and related sources when he describes the neighborhood park as a place for " recreation , repose , periodic commercial uses (e . g . , farmers ' markets) , or special events such as political meetings , concerts , theatricals , exhibitions , and fairs . " s A park provides the cool and comfort of shade ; it greatly enhances the environmental Millimpact of plant materials located elsewhere in the neighborhood (see " Section 10 " ) . When thoughtfully planned and utilized , the park becomes a considerable draw for the 011111 neighborhood . The park offers opportunities for education , training , and community service . Locating a park in a newly developing neighborhood is relatively straight forward—one S simply chooses a location on the undeveloped parcel and designs the rest of the neigh- borhood around it . In the developed downtown , finding a suitable location for a park is a challenge , at best . MIN Charrette participants reached unanimous consensus on the proposal to locate a park in Pineapple Grove . Also receiving unanimous consensus was the recommendation that the park have frontage on Pineapple Grove Way , as close to the center of the Program 01111 Area as practicable . With all of the Pineapple Grove Way frontage developed as either buildings or privately owned parking lots , the transformation of a parking lot into park was the only identifiable solution . 01111 This Plan does not propose a specific location for a park in Pineapple Grove . Char- rette participants chose the parking lot located on the northeast corner of Pineapple Grove Way and NE 1 ' Street as the site to demonstrate on paper the " parking lot-to- a park " adaptive reuse concept . Several other locations within the Program Area might be equally , or more , suitable . In all events , no publicly owned property is contained within the Program Area that Inicould accommodate the park design concept discussed below . Accordingly , special ar- rangements will be required concerning any location . a Recommendations The neighborhood park in Pineapple Grove will serve the community in ways that ex- tend beyond the traditional . PillEnvironmental and ecological concerns are high priorities in today ' s world . Educating the community , particularly children , about the importance of the urban ecology is a service that the Pineapple Grove park should provide . The park can serve as a " field PIP/ trip " destination for area schools and host an " eco camp " during the summer . Weekend educational programs might also be offered . ass PGMS will develop its awareness of ongoing programs at the local , County , State , and National levels that might be introduced in connection with the neighborhood park .

WALKWAYS . A pathway , surfaced with " Chicago brick " , should meander throughout the park and along the edge (s) of the brook . Visitors should be easily able to stroll most anywhere without " blazing " new , unwanted , trails . AM Additional walkways , surfaced with paver brick to match other Program Area sidewalks , should run in front of and proximate to any existing building at the park ' s perimeter . The intent of this walkway is to facilitate pedestrian traffic to and from the existing building and any neighboring parking facilities or sidewalks . (Note the demonstration drawing , Figure 13 . 1 . ) 110111 Updated 03 / 16/98 4 : 32 PM 12 -2 .0111111 Fencing . Utilize shell rock walls with air plants as " accent " fencing to define : • the perimeter of the park ; • access points into the park ; and • the water elements . oft Locate walls with discretion to avoid " overwhelming " thepark or creating g ga " walled- in " feeling . OTHER ELEMENTS . Install adequate and appropriately scaled lighting throughout the park . Construct public restrooms to serve not only park visitors , but neighbor- hood shoppers and visitors as well . Adequate and appropriately designed trash re - ceptacles should be placed throughout . Land Acquisition As noted earlier , one of the greatest challenges to the park ' s existence is securing a site . At the time of this writing , the park proposal is entirely conceptual ; hence , any discussion, of site acquisition is premature . Nonetheless , as the plans progress , PGMS will investigate acquisition strategies that extend beyond the traditional . Replacement Parking PGMS recognizes the importance of ample public and private parking , believes the 01111 recommended new public parking locations described elsewhere in this Plan will be adequate to offset the loss of parking caused by this adaptive reuse proposal . a a a a Updated 03 / 16 /98 4 : 32 PM 12 - 3 11111111 1111 Criteria M CREATE MOVEMENT .

Creating the physical environments for the placement of art objects will be undertaken as part of the public improvements planning process . Locations have been identified that should be suitable for murals , sculptures , sculptures as signage , etc . Updated 03 / 16/98 4 : 32 PM 13 -2 •_i: Competitions Using such resources as universities , schools , guilds , and other groups , select by jury the various artists , teachers , students , curators , etc . , located in and surround- ing the Delray Beach area who might wish to participate in the program . Competi - • tions might be held in the schools to identify children ' s works for display in spe- cially-designated areas . These areas might also include children ' s animal sculp- tures , " life -size " board games , tile pressing and other related elements . Competi - tions can also be held for designs of logos , flags , murals , sculptures , signs , drink- ing fountains , obelisks , kites , costumes , a Floribbean flag , and so forth . Community orientation All public outdoor art projects should focus on cultural , historical and contempo- rary art themes of interest to all of the Delray Beach community . Events , competi- tions , media coverage , and public art projects should, whenever possible , reach to and involve the entire scope of the diverse interests and cultures represented in the community . Art oriented lectures , workshops , and other educational programs should be conducted routinely for the public ' s consumption . 4, Establish and monitor standards of aesthetic value PGMS will develop , for the City ' s consideration , a set of guidelines , standards and criteria for all outdoor art , public and private , that might be displayed in the Pro- gram Area . Once these guidelines have been adopted , outdoor art proposals would be submitted for review to PGMS , who will create a Review Panel of professionals for this purpose . The Review Panel should consist of at least three and not more than seven persons established and recognized in the fields of painting , sculpture , art criticism andlor design, with at least one person from a field other than the vis- ual arts . Its authority would be limited to the Program Area . Acquisition and de-acquisition Specific sites throughout the Program Area shall be designated for temporary dis- play of art objects . The time during which a given work might be displayed at a site can range from several weeks to several years . The intent of acquisition/de- acquisition is to maintain continuing interest in the Program Area as an outdoor art showcase . Collaboration to establish areas of interest Planning and design elements pertaining to the Program Area should expressly em- brace the Pineapple Grove Outdoor Art Plan , paying particular attention to the de- sign of parks and gardens ; courtyard settings ; and centralized , pedestrian- friendly fountains and public restrooms . The Outdoor Art Plan will encourage the incorpo- ration of " sensory elements " , such as : reflecting ponds , flowing water; foot bridges ; " island " stages for events , skits , plays and other outdoor performances ; and an emphasis on shade . Durability and protection The Outdoor Art Plan encourages the use of materials in art objects that have proven durable in tropical climates . Weather sealant is emphasized . Outdoor mu- rats should be sealed with graffiti-resistant materials . With respect to permanent in- stallations , juries are encouraged to consider the timelessness of projects . Updated 03 / 16 /98 4 : 32 PM 13-3 • Funding Grants , sponsors , and/or underwriters will be identified for initial funding . Over time , the Outdoor Art Plan can generate continuing funding through the collection of sales commissions . • F t 03 I rs 'OS 4 : 32 PM 13 -4 • AI Section 14 • Economic Restructuring i Overview 4. Strengthening the economic assets of Pineapple Grove while diversifying its economic base is the principal focus of economic restructuring . The process begins with two steps : 1 . compiling and maintaining a thorough inventory of the Program Area existing buildings and businesses ; and k 2 . conducting a market analysis to provide a profile of the area through an exams- nation of demographic statistics, current economic trends , and future projec- lions . Economic restructuring activities center on utilization of the data and market analysis to facilitate : • retaining and strengthening the neighborhood ' s existing businesses ; • recruiting new businesses to provide a balanced mix ; • converting disused and under-used space into productive property ; and • sharpening the competitiveness of the neighborhood ' s traditional merchants . Post Office A particular emphasis is noted regarding the U . S . Post Office located at Pineapple Grove Way and NE 4th Street . Post Offices are generally considered a very desir- able operation for a downtown or neighborhood commercial center . In addition to being a considerable employer, thus generating periodic payrolls that support the local economy , the Post Office also attracts many postal patrons who then become potential customers for area businesses . PGMS is most supportive of having the U . S . Post Office located in Pineapple Grove . The Board encourages all of the downtown interests to contribute every • reasonable effort toward retaining the Post Office , whether at its present location or i elsewhere in Pineapple Grove , as a vital economic development tool in support of this Neighborhood Plan . Recommendations Consistency with market analysis The " Market Analysis and Development Recommendations for Downtown Delray Beach " was produced in March , 1996 , by Marketek , Inc . , a firm specializing in market analysis , economic development , and planning . The report utilizes surveys of downtown business owners , employees , and shoppers, together with demo- graphic , psychographic , and other data , to define the trade area for the downtown , a " gap analysis " , and a general " cluster plan " . Marketek identifies four broad business clusters in downtown Delray Beach , one of which is Pineapple Grove . Analysis and conclusions reflected in the report provide a framework within which PGMS can assist existing businesses with their market- ing and merchandising strategies , and develop strategies and plans in support of its business recruitment program . Updated 03 / 16/98 4 : 32 PM 14 - 1 1 1 All economic restructuring plans, strategies, and activities of PGMS should be undertaken within the framework reflected in the "Market Analysis and Devel- opment Recommendations for Downtown Delray Beach ", produced by Marketek, Inc. , dated March, 1996. The market analysis should be updated by PGMS every five years to reflect changes in market conditions, demographics, supply and demand considerations, etc. Strengthening & Retention Strategy Many of Pineapple Grove ' s merchants and businesses have been in the neighbor- hood for many years and have managed to " hang in there " despite the decline in economic activity and neighborhood conditions . These parties deserve the dedica- tion of PGMS and any resources it can muster in support of their business interests . PGMS should identify the needs and concerns of neighborhood businesses. Educational programs and professional service resources should be identified that can help the merchant and/or business owner improve his/her competitive edge and take advantage of market gaps . A program for routine delivery of information and programs to neighborhood 9 businesses should be developed and implemented. Infill development strategy Infill strategies , within the context of economic restructuring , include not only the construction of new commercial properties on vacant sites , but also recruitment of new businesses for vacant or underutilized buildings . For infill to be effective , re- cruitment efforts should be undertaken within the framework of a " cluster plan " . A business cluster plan demonstrates how businesses in a shopping district or cen- ter should relate to one another in terms of location , pedestrian flow , and shared markets . All successful shopping centers utilize clustering techniques . Two familiar examples are a food court , which groups competitive businesses together allowing customers tremendous variety and selection, and an outlet mall that brings together a variety of stores offering merchandise that appeals to the same general markets . Clustering benefits the downtown in the following ways : • it increases the number of customers and sales ; • offers both convenience and a wide variety of merchandise ; " • projects the downtown as a single , unified business district , similar to a shopping center; and • provides direction for a business recruitment program . Successful clustering is dependent on having the appropriate mix of businesses in any given cluster that will create market synergies and an uninterrupted grouping of _, businesses that draw customers to and through the entire cluster while appealing to all market segments . 6 Produce a detailed cluster plan for each block within the Program Area along Pineapple Grove Way and NE 3'd Avenue. 6 The discussion of clustering is excerpted from the Marketek, Inc . , market analysis . Updated 03 / 16/98 4 : 32 PM 14 -2 Utilize the cluster plans as guides in future business and investor recruitment ef- forts. Business & Investor Recruitment Plan The cluster plan is but one of several elements to a successful recruitment program . While the cluster plan identifies the desirable mix of businesses , a market, or " gap " analysis provides an assessment of where the neighborhood is positioned in the marketplace . The results of the gap analysis reveal what businesses the down- town needs to maximize its market position . The Marketek, Inc . , report includes identification of the primary trade area for downtown Delray Beach, and the following findings : Based on the Gap analysis , during the years 1995-2000 , there will potentially be an accumulation of demand for more than 2 million square feet of new retail space in the market area. Of that new potential demand , downtown Defray Beach could potentially cap - ture more than 205 , 350 square feet of demand, including : • 31 , 501 square feet of demand for general merchandise , • more than 17 ,000 square feet for apparel , • 35 , 000 square feet of specialty shopping , • the same for home furnishings and restaurants , • and almost 33 , 000 square feet for grocery /convenience businesses . The potential also exists for almost 18 , 000 square feet of additional space de - voted to drugs and toiletries in downtown Delray Beach. This analysis demonstrates the opportunity for new business development in the trade area. To summarize , in the Delray Beach market area, there is significant unfilled poten- tial demand for apparel and specialty merchandise , home furnishings, eating and drinking establishments, drugs and toiletries , and groceries/ convenience goods . PGMS should direct its recruitment program toward "filling the gaps " in Pineap- ple Grove as indicated in the Marketek, Inc. , analysis, as follows: Implement a program of tracking and follow-up directed toward unsolicited in- quiries from prospective investors and/or new businesses. Identify and pursue businesses in the categories revealed by the Gap Analysis that are likely candidates for a Pineapple Grove location . 4.. updated 031 1 ri 98 4: . PM k 4- • Section 15 • Facade Improvements Overview A neighborhood improvement process requires the active participation and investment from both the public and private sectors . As important as streetscape and public prop- . erty enhancements are , they represent wasted investment of taxpayer dollars unless the private property owners follow suit . Unfortunately, experience shows that the private sector is often hesitant to invest or reinvest in the neighborhood that has , for so many years , been on the decline . Existing owners have experienced declines in their property values for an extended period ; they • are understandably leery of reinvesting in capital improvements when it looks to them as if they are " throwing good money after bad " . Others have become complacent with declining and/or deteriorated conditions and lack the motivation to reinvest . Still others are absentee owners with no real care or concern for their far-away properties as long as the rent checks come in . And , of course , many simply can no longer afford to rein - vest . Property owners , therefor , need to be motivated to invest in facade improvements , particularly during the early stages of the neighborhood improvement program . The most effective tool in providing this motivation is the availability of funding on very attractive terms . Of equal importance in the facade improvements process is the appearance of proper- ties once improved . Effectively written and applied design guidelines can enhance the end result of facade improvements without adding undue burden to the property owner . Design Guidelines are included as a separate element of this Plan . Recommendations Facade Improvement Grants Allocation Program PGMS has established a program for allocation of grant monies to Program Area businesses and property owners . Funds are allocated to defray costs of upgrading the exteriors of properties located in the Program Area , and are awarded on a first come . first served basis to applicants whose projects qualify . The program is ad- ministered by the PGMS Design Committee , or as otherwise directed by the Board . The Program ' s application package is included in its entirety as Appendix A to this Plan. and is summarized as follows : • Funds are available only to owners of properties located within the Pro- cram Area . • Properties on Pineapple Grove Way receive the highest initial priority . • Projects are evaluated based on their architectural and/or historic signifi- cance , and their contribution to the Program Area ' s overall " street appeal " . • Projects must comply with PGMS Design Guidelines . • Exterior projects only are eligible for funding ; several categories are rec- ommended_ • Funding limits are S250 minimum and $2 , 000 maximum per property . • The property owner must contribute at least one-half the total project cost . Grant funds are paid in the form of reimbursement to the owner . Updated 03/ 16/98 4 : 32 PM l b- I l r, • The Allocation Program provides for an application and review process . IF Model Block demonstration project Another effective method of motivating property owners is to demonstrate the im- pact of simple facade improvements on the property ' s appeal and value . PGMS has selected the 100 block of Pineapple Grove Way as its Model Block . Improvement activities on this block are being encouraged and facilitated during the early stages of the neighborhood improvement process . PGMS expects that positive changes on the Model Block , and their impact on its overall appeal and value , will motivate others in Pineapple Grove . Organized and produced by PGMS , in partnership with the property owners and local government, demonstration projects have , and will continue to be , undertaken in the Model Block . The investment of resources will shift over time ; initially , the contributions are generated by PGMS , while the responsibility will later fall more on the property owners . a Updated 03 / 16/98 4 : 32 PM 15 - 2 • Section 16 • Design Guidelines Overview These guidelines are offered solely to provide a framework of design considerations for properties within the Pineapple Grove Main Street program area the (the "Pro- gram Area "). Should any of these guidelines conflict with local or other applicable ordi nncv nr eggninilon, the applicable ordinance or regulation shall apply. Much of the work discussed in these guidelines is subject to local standards already in place, and will require approvals and/or permits from local government. The reader is urged to contact City Hall before any work is undertaken . Property improvements financed in part by the Pineapple Grove Facade Improvement Grants Program must comply with the provisions of these guidelines as applicable— variations should be the rare exception rather than the rule , and will only be granted by majority vote of the Board . Other property improvements are encouraged to reflect the PGMS guidelines but are not bound by them . Guidelines are intended to encourage and motivate , rather than dictate . PGMS accepts and encourages an element of flexibility in connection with these guidelines and recog- nizes that not every consideration can be anticipated . The Delray Beach Planning Department , as a courtesy to PGMS , routes plans for new development and changes to existing properties through the PGMS Design Committee for review and comment . This routing is initiated concurrently with the routing of plans through applicable City departments , and is not intended to slow the pace of plan re- view . PGMS recognizes that comments must be delivered to the City prior to review y�the applicable Advisory Board(s) . Any comments timely submitted by PGMS arc recommendations only ; PGMS claims no authority to approve or disapprove plans , other than those for which PGMS facade grants are utilized . General Characteristics A Floribbean architectural and design character is encouraged throughout the Program Area . " Floribbean " is a term that connotes a blend of traditional , historic South Florida characteristics with a Caribbean/Latin influence . Preservation of historic architectural characteristics is emphasized where appropriate . Building additions and new construction are encouraged both as infill projects and to increase the elevations of existing properties by adding second and/or third floors to existing buildings . Architectural characteristics for new construction and additions should follow the same guidelines as those applicable to renovations/rehabilitations . Updated 03 / 16/98 4 : 32 PM 16- 1 Definitions . The definitions below are offered solely as a service to the reader . The figure at right shows typical elements of � """"`u"" "�" 1c ic`evE a commercial building . These components VON can be found on both new and old buildings M with differing styles and materials . All LI buildings may not have all of these elements , U but most will have identifiable features . < MA4aNgY WALLA TRADITIONAL STOREFRONTS .

The sill slopes forward for drainage . I • The bulkheads are constructed with wood framing and a plywood back with trim applied . • The storefront rests on a masonry or concrete base to prevent water dam- age . CONTEMPORARY STOREFRONTS . • A cornice is made with sheet metal over a wooden frame . • Optional transoms can be stained glass , clear glass , or opaque . • Masonry piers are uncovered and match the upper façade . • The storefront is recessed 6 inches into the opening . • The storefront and windows are framed with dark anodized aluminum or painted aluminum . • Bulkheads are constructed of aluminum framing and a plywood panel clad with aluminum . • The storefront rests on a masonry or concrete base . Design Continuity . Building design should strike a balance between individual identity and continuity with neighboring buildings . The following elements are encouraged : II. Updated 03 / 16 /98 4 : 32 PM 16-2 1 • Maintain the existing pattern of building widths . Avoid visually dividing existing building into a number of small facades . Conversely , where a building spans several lots , the facade should also reflect the existing pat- tern of widths . • Facade improvements should use traditional storefront design and similar architectural features to maintain continuity , e . g . , color, canopy , window treatment . Consult any available plans and/or old photographs of a building being rehabbed . • Planned improvements must preserve , where applicable and/or desirable , the architectural integrity of the building and restore , when practicable , the original design of the façade . Storefront Alignment. Historically , storefronts aligned at the sidewalk edge . This contributes to visual continuity on the street and 4 HOT 7H � encourages a continual flow of pe- of' �� destrian traffic . To be user friendly , ��, ,� A, r �� a �;, rrr �` a high percentage of the storefront r' r it I I � should be glass , oriented to the pe- �� I < i -f ' � � � destrian . �5 au • • Maintain the alignment of tt��=- - storefronts at the sidewalk edge . • Use front display windows as a high percentage of the storefront so pedes- trians can see inside the buildings and feel welcome . Windows and doors should be compatible with the architecture of the building . Building Materials . Natural materials such as wood , brick and stone are encouraged . Stucco finishes are acceptable . Glass , Plexiglas and metallic exteriors are generally unacceptable . The following exterior elements are encouraged : Lap siding Keystone Murals , especially with water themes French style doors and windows Arched exterior windows and doors Screen doors Porches , verandahs , overhangs Arches Shutters Trellises Railings Stone wall fencing Picket fencing Wrought iron Cobblestones Benches Chimneys Fountains Roof elements . When visible to the general public , the roofing materials consisting of tin , slate , or barrel tile are encouraged : Roof pitch , when applicable , should be at least 5 : 12 . iJ Updated 03 / 16 /98 4 : 32 PM 16-3 Exterior canopies , awnings and/or overhangs . " Canopies " are defined as platforms or awnings suspended over the sidewalk . They are strong , established design elements that serve a climatic function , add color and interest , and can provide placement for signage . The terms " canopies " and " awn- ings " are here used interchangeably and have the same meaning . • Canopies are encouraged in the Program Area . • Canopies should protect from sun and rain . A flat canopy can be dressed with an awning valance measuring 12-24" down from the bottom edge of the canopy . The valance can be used for signage ; however , any such sign- age must meet relevant design guidelines and conform to local ordinance . • The style of the awning should be consistent with the building ' s archi- tecture . For example , a " bull nose " n c 0 awning would be most appropriate with a Mediterranean Revival as op - - -8- _ _ _ _ _ _ posed to a contemporary building . Q ,3[I . N. • Internallylighted awnings are inap- propriate . D `� g g ��.► � _ . • • Avoid the placement of an awning un- der an existing canopy . • An awning is not the solution to every storefront , but unattractive features can be disguised by mounting an awning over a problem area while main- taining the proportions of a traditional storefront . Store windows . Storefront windows are not only functional , they are the largest visual element of the exterior design of the building . • The emphasis is on transparency . Being able to see into the building makes it warm and inviting to the pedestrian and passing motorists . Large , trans- parent storefronts enable the interior of the building to be attractively lit at night . All paper and boards obscuring a storefront window should be re- moved , leaving the window display as the feature . • Office conversions should retain the traditional storefront design . When the window space is eliminated, the building appears to have turned its back to the public . • The use of clear glass on the first floor is preferred ; tinted or reflective glass is inadvisable on first floor windows . • Security bars are discouraged , with preference given to alternative methods of securing the property . • Hurricane shutters should be installed only when a hurricane actually threatens the area , and should be removed promptly after the threat passes . • Windows with aluminum trim and /or mullions , when inconsistent or in- compatible with the overall facade , should be replaced or painted . • Window - and wall-mounted room air conditioning units are unsightly and should not be installed where visible from any sweet or alley . Updated 03 / 16/98 4 : 32 PM 16-4 Transoms . Traditionally , storefront windows had an upper band , a " transom " , to allow light deep into the L_'� I store . • Transoms help break up the effects of large i ' sheets of glass and are encouraged . They !l; can be clear , tinted or stained glass . Where I =- ni rilVi =Mos_ _ feasible , consider aligning transoms with Tw .n&CM wmaays 1 , adjacent storefronts . • Air conditioning has resulted in lower ceil - '—"fit } tsor1 mil am, r ings and can eliminate the transom ' s func- MIS 11111111111111111 tion of providing light . As alternatives , transoms may be covered by and/or substi- ��1�_1� ! tuted with awnings or used as sign panels . TRANSOM D "` AS A S+6W PANEL. Entries . Presenting an attractive storefront entrance is es- sential for every business . The most attractive and visually appropriate door might be that which is original to the building . Recessed entries provide shelter and help define the entrances , as well as preventing the door from swinging directly into the sidewalk . I • Entrance doors should have a large glass panel . • Avoid stylized aluminum doors that are visually incompatible with the building ' s architectural style . I Kickplates . Kickplates are located at the base of the store window ; they are placed there to help II frame the window and protect the lower portion of the storefront . Kickplates on the street add to the continuity and are traditional in the Program Area . • Kickplates are encouraged . Wood is preferred , but masonry might also be I appropriate . • Kickplates should be the same height as those typical of the block in which a the building is located . Upper stories . Upper stories are an important part of a building ' s appearance ; they offer good op- i portunities for usable space . Marketing the upper story for productive use , especially for residential or office space , is the best way to assure a good appearance , maintenance , and vitality in the Program Area . Upper story occupants become a captive market for street-level re - tail , commercial , and restaurants . • Treat upper stories as an important design element of the overall building front . Signs should not dominate the surface . • Upper story windows should not be boarded up or painted over . Like store - fronts , the size , proportion and " rhythm " of upper story windows should be similar to neighbors . Upper story windows can be slightly tinted as ap- Iproved by local government . Updated 03 / 16/98 4 : 32 PM 16- 5 i I Exterior colors . Painting can be one of the most dramatic and inexpensive improvements to a building . Architectural details are important to the building ' s individuality and character , and should be highlighted by color . Three colors are often sufficient to highlight any facade . Exterior colors should be indicative of the building ' s original color and/or reflective of the desired character of its location . Prior to painting , the building surface should be properly prepped . The surface cleaning must be by the gentlest methods available . Chemical cleaners should be avoided when cleaning historically significant, aged building components . Sand- blasting is not an approved method of cleaning . • Colors should be harmonious with the neighboring structures . • The base color appears on the upper wall and piers flanking the storefront . • The major trim color defines the decorative elements of the building , tying together the upper facade trim and the storefront . If there is a natural brick or terra cotta trim on the facade , it should serve as a trim color . • The minor trim color should enhance the color scheme established by the base and major trim . A darker shade of the major trim is often used . A color " palette " is available for review at the PGMS office . The reader is encour- aged to study the palette when considering new exterior color schemes . Back of the building . Service alleys in the Program Area are important for deliveries , off-street access , and locations of utility poles . The ex- istence of alleys render the backs of buildings quite visible ; additionally , some buildings are accessed by the, public from the alleys . Therefor, the !� appearance of the back of the building is noteworthy and should be properly ..r.. , maintained . • The rear facade should be ji I clean and maintained in first • mo:=—� class appearance . f ' NI0� • A small sign at the rear door should tastefully identify the business . • An awning can be added for visual identification and convenience . • Refuse containers should be screened from the public in accordance with local ordinance . Signage . The reader is urged to review the City 's signage standards. The recommendations below are offered as a service to existing and prospective Program Area business and property owners . Updated 03 / 16/98 4 : 32 PM 16-6 a Signs do much more than identify a business ; they project an image of the type and quality of goods and services offered individually and throughout the Program Area . Effective signs reflect the best qualities of both . The Program Area is designed to accommodate shoppers strolling along sidewalks ; its signage should be complementary . Scale , materials , style , illumination , and placement of signs must differ from suburban Program Areas if they are to success- fully capitalize on the Program Area ' s assets . • Keep the message simple and choose letter styles that are easy to read . Studies show that seven words are the maximum number that can easily be understood by passers-by . • Facade signs are mounted flush to buildings and usually fit within the tran- som area above the shop window . They are visually " contained " within the building framework of columns and other architectural trim . The sign should be properly scaled given the proportions of the building . A second type of facade sign covers the storefront transom area and still fits into the proportions of the building . • Facade signs on one-story buildings can use the cornice area to integrate signage with the building , leaving the transom to serve its original purpose . • A dark background is a rich contrast with lighter colored lettering . A third color in the signature bar clearly identifies the type of business as well as its quality . A business ' image expands with the coordination of sign and storefront colors . • Lettering that is overly ornate or difficult to read should be avoided . Type- faces should be in one style and should match the image of the business and the Program Area . • Window lettering is very visible to pedestrians . The fewer words , the bet- la ter . Words should be readable but should not block the view of the mer- chandise or the store ' s interior . Hand lettering , vinyl applications , and inte - rior hung panels are three good alternatives to window signs . • Neon signs can provide an exciting focal point that substitutes for window lettering . It provides night illumination and identification . When sensitively design , neon adds to the streetscape vibrancy . Stock franchise trademarks should be avoided . Overall design and number of colors should be kept simple . • Projecting signs , when carefully designed , create visual interest and make the shop more visible to pedestrians . These signs are best when limited to 10 - 15 square feet in area (although local code may allow larger) . They should have a clearance of at least 8 feet and use a sturdy , simple bracket . Using shapes and forms indicative of the business helps to reinforce the message . • Canopies and awnings can be an effective sign device . Lettering applied r along the valence should be no more than 12 inches tall . Simple graphics can be effective ; traditional designs and colors work best . At retractable canopy is both functional and visually attractive . • Lighting of signs requires careful selection of fixtures and placement . In some cases , " goose neck " lamps are appropriate . Their traditional appear- ance is superior to the unshielded flood lamps and they direct glare away Updated 03 / 16/98 4 : 32 PM 16-7 I : . • • from pedestrian and vehicular traffic . Another acceptable method is to light the sign from a projecting box situated just below the sign panel . The box fits a florescent tube that is shielded from view by the woodwork , yet floods the sign . Bare bulbs , back-lit Plexiglas sign boxes , and internally il - luminated plastic awnings should be avoided . • Chain and franchise signs can be accommodated within these guidelines , , while retaining the necessary corporate identity . • Older signs should be retained if they have inherent qualities of design and/or historic significance . They add to the visual heritage of the Program Area and make it unique . Outside lighting fixtures Lighting is a very important element in building design . The lighting on buildings is low in intensity and is used for accent, ornamentation , entrances , security , and signage . Lighting of properties should " bridge the gap " between street lights . Likewise , it should provide a transitional space so that the pedestrian does not have to step from the bright street light into pockets of darkness . Proper lighting will minimize shadows and maintain levels of brightness that mini - mize extremes . Less is better; do not overpower the area with lighting . Night appearance and security of a building need to be considered . Buildings should be lit internally . Use lighting efficiently and sparingly to highlight display windows , entrances , signs , and architectural detail . External light sources should be shielded and indirect ; they should produce colors which are as close to daylight as possible . Neon should not be used externally . " True color " bulbs are encouraged ; high pressure and low pressure sodium bulbs should be avoided . " Vintage " light fixtures are encouraged , especially those that reflect the Floribbean character of the Program Area . Other design considerations . Plans for LANDSCAPING AND OUTDOOR ART should be developed within the con- siderations set forth in the Redevelopment Plan for Pineapple Grove . PINEAPPLE GROVE LOGO USES . PGMS encourages the use of its logo by Program Area business and property owners . The PGMS logo is copyrighted ; accordingly , any use of the logo must be pre -approved by the PGMS Board . The application and review process is the same as that for exterior changes , additions , and new consid - eration . Management process . PGMS review of proposed exterior changes , additions , and new construction will follow the procedures set forth in its Facade Improvements Grants Allocation Pro- gram , copies of which are available at the office of Pineapple Grove Main Street , Inc . Updated 03 / 1 6/98 4 : 32 PM 16 - 8 Section 17 • Historic Preservation Overview Nationally and in Florida , the roots of the Main Street program are found in historic preservation . The national program was initiated in 1977 by the National Trust for Historic Preservation , which also created and oversees the National Main Street Cen- ter . In 1985 , the Bureau of Historic Preservation , Division of Historical Resources , Department of State , initiated the Florida Main Street office to designate , assist, and coordinate with the local Main Street programs . Within this context, and given the history of the Florida Main Street program desig - nees , Delray Beach pioneered new territory when it was designated a Florida Main Street Community in 1994 . It was far and away the largest community to receive desig - nation ; it was the first designee whose focus was a contributing downtown neighbor- hood , rather than the traditional downtown main street ; and it was designated despite that fact that barely 16 % of the building stock in its focus district was historically sig- nificant . With its inventory of historic building stock being a relatively small number of proper- ties , the principal emphasis of PGMS has been the element of economic revitalization , in addition to historic preservation . Nonetheless , Pineapple ( ; rove is rich in Delray Beach history and several properties in the Program Area may deserve special atten = Lion' . Recommendations Survey & Assessment To assist PGMS in the preparation of its application for EMS designation , Pat Cayce , the City ' s preservation planner, conducted an informal survey of the Pro= gram Area that led to the estimate of historic building stock noted above , Before a proper determination of preservation -related projects and programs can be considered, a thorough survey of, and report on , the program area 's history and historic building stock are is recommended. At the time of this writing , John Johnson is the Historic Resources Administrator for the Delray Beach Regional Office of the Florida Division of Historical Re- sources, and Dottie Patterson the archivist for the 1 nc l r a y Beach Historical Preser- vation Society . Ms . Cayce , Mr . Johnson , and Ms . Patterson have contributed greatly to POMS ' s knowledge of Pineapple Grove ' s history , and represent the community ' s itno • .

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS The Master Plan for Old School Square Cultural Arts Center represents a seven - to month effort involving the Board of Directors , representatives of the City of Delray �, Beach , design and construction professionals , and interested citizens . �,tiers' The master planning work was an outgrowth of the Design Charrette held with Ma the Old School Square Board of Directors on 22 January 2000 . At that session Ma the mission of goals of the Cultural Arts Center were reviewed , future needs were evaluated and a building program was developed . Later in the session three LA concept designs were sketched . Lia.., 44;ahist The building program was agreed to consist of a Bandshell , sculpture garden , gazebo , Christmas tree plaza , parking garage with ground -floor retail facing Ira Pineapple Grove Way , Cornell Museum expansion , a signage package , new site entrances , and expanded open space with landscape features . gra Three design alternatives received serious consideration during the project . One scheme , called the " Museum Addition " featured the new Bandshell along with an addition to the Cornell Museum . A second scheme , called " Relocated Cornell Museum " , acknowledged the need for a larger audience area for the Bandshell as well as a more prominent presence on Atlantic Avenue for the Cornell ea Museum . Both of these alternatives crowded buildings onto the existing Old ea School Square block , so a third scheme was investigated called " Expanded Site" , ea which called for the acquisition of the central portion of the block immediately to the east . With the development of landscaped open space , this would make a Sae strong connection to the retail facilities along Pineapple Grove Way . Sea The new Bandshell, planned for Phase One, would involve closing 1st Avenue NE to expand the open space and provide adequate space for audience seating . ea i ..w� �pH ✓" _ r n '. { #2:7 �� ti� T J� ~r '41 -M .l�• • A 1xt � - c31ill: � f'' Y j.i . • ,}• v � ., T 'wr .fix Sdd3x 'L �- :rn �AN�')�r � 4# it � 1 C'w - _t• • 1 • •n a ) IF 4 •r; ,F / � , t . 9 ; "ill irks ?'

This Master Plan addresses these present and future needs . with parallel parking on the south side , across the street from Old School Square . This block is currently at the western end of Delray Beach ' s business district . Because Atlantic Avenue narrows from four lanes to two east of Swinton , the Old School Square block is usually congested with very slow- moving traffic . • There is only one vehicular drop-off point to Old School Square . It is located in front of the Crest Theatre on a curved driveway . • • • Parking is a major issue at Old School Square . The CRA lot to the east accommodates 163 automobiles , but the demand for this lot will increase as • Pineapple Grove Way develops more retail establishments . Some 30 parking • spaces are available behind the Cason Cottage ( owned by the Historical Society ) • on NE First Street , but Old School Square has no long -term control of these spaces and they could disappear if the ownership and / or uses change . The only maa • on - street parking is on NE First Avenue . Pedestrian access to the site along Atlantic Avenue is constrained by a thick • hedge and ground cover . Patrons of the Cornell Museum are therefore obliged to enter the site on axis with the " little boy" statue guarding the front entrance to the museum . Access to the site is unlimited on the remaining three sides of Old School Square since there are no plantings or other obstructions .

It would encourage more At major entrances and drop-off points , the arcades connect to raised pavilions pedestrians as well as passive recreational activities .

The parking garage suggested in Alternative C appeared to be a good long -term solution to the already-difficult parking situation in the Old School . Square/ Pineapple Grove area . • It was decided that the at- grade parking lot next to the new parking garage was not necessary . This land should be used as park land for informal and passive recreational activities . - 6 . 2 Phasing Development of Old School Square is envisioned in three phases . Phase One would involve the Bandshell and related facilities including the closure of 15t ► Avenue . Phase Two involves the development of the existing parking lot between 1st Avenue and Pineapple Grove way and would include a new parking . . garage .

The survey area is bounded on the west by NW 1st Avenue , on the north by Lake Ida Road and NE 4th Street , on the east by the east side of NE 1st Avenue , and on the south by SW 2nd Street and SE 2nd Street ( Figure 2 ) . L 1 , 3 Project Purpose ` 1 .04, The City of Defray Beach Planning and Zoning Department initiated this project to ensure that the City' s ongoing preservation planning efforts effectively respond to the City' s current historic resources , particularly in the downtown area . The purpose of this survey project is to augment and update previous 1 survey work , and provide information on pre - 1955 resources not previously surveyed . The collected t information will assist the City in the factual understanding of alterations , improvements , and demolition of ` 7 historic resources within the boundary of the Old School Square Historic Arts District . This survey is intended to identify historical and architectural resources within the district only . While background ‘ research was also conducted on the City' s other prominent architectural resources , it was used only to 1 provide background information to assist in evaluating the built environment of the Old School Square C district . 1 ` 7 IC IC IC 1 05 gai consultants 1 1 .• ri a Vri �I © h i% : ' r 1 I ill , ( Slid tl n.c�ki � _lin _L.-- --*".1.3/47 { � r +: ti �1 J H.� �� Fl v i ..

Tuk and GAI Architectural Historian Matthew �"`� Hyland , with technical assistance being provided by GAI Editor Lynda M . Shirley . The survey consisted of `L u,,,, four phases : 1 ) meetings , 2 ) background research , 3 ) field survey and data entry , and 4 ) evaluation of r` � I resources within the study area both for individual eligibility for national and local landmark status , and as u"'� contributors to the Old School Square Historic Arts District . It L ` , 2 . 1 Meetings rL A kick - off meeting with the City of Delray Beach Planning and Zoning Department was held on February °L 28 , 2005 at the City offices in Delray Beach . This meeting covered the project background , schedule , purpose and goals , and recommended research sources and local contacts . On March 3 , 2005 , GAI ' s °L. Jail field team met with staff from the Delray Beach Historical Society at their offices in the Cornell Museum at t a 51 North Swinton Avenue to discuss and review primary and secondary sources of historical information on the City of Delray Beach and the Old School Square area . Finally , on March 4 , 2005 , GAI Project '. L Manager/ Architectural Historian Jared N . Tuk and GAI Architectural Historian Matthew Hyland met with IL ' ,al Delray Beach Historic Preservation Planner Warren Adams at the City offices in Delray Beach , at which time they gave an overview of the survey methodology and preliminary findings . 2 . 2 Background Research L GAI conducted a search of the Florida Master Site File ( FMSF ) database for previously surveyed architectural resources and previous cultural resource management reports . Presently , there are 102 resources with FMSF numbers located in the study area . The previous surveys in the City of Delray 4. ,4, Beach and the Old School Square survey area are described more fully in Section 3 . 1 of this report . L 1 .45 Warren Adams , Historic Preservation Planner of the City of Delray Beach Planning and Zoning IL 1 Department , collected research materials on the history and development of the built environment in the `� Old School Square Historic Arts District , from the early 20th century to the present . This research included a assembly of previous architectural surveys conducted within the City , Sanborn maps depicting the project area ( 1922 , 1926 , 1949 , and 1963 ) , and tax parcel mapping of the Old School Square Historic Arts District . Research was conducted at the Planning and Zoning Department offices in Delray Beach . a GAI Architectural Historians Jared N . Tuk and Matthew Hyland conducted additional research on the general history and development of Delray Beach and Palm Beach County to augment the research C provided by the Planning and Zoning Department . This included review of information on previously Joy surveyed buildings and structures , published histories of Delray Beach and Palm Beach County , historic C _aft, photographs , National Register nominations for historic properties and districts in Delray Beach , and ti published works on the architecture of Palm Beach County . This additional research was conducted at a the Cornell Museum at 51 North Swinton Avenue , Delray Beach ; the Delray Beach Public Library at 29 C SE 4th Avenue , Delray Beach ; the Historical Society of Palm Beach County at 139 North County Road - a Suite 25 , Palm Beach ; and the Palm Beach County Courthouse— Recording Department at 300 North S Dixie Highway- Room 201 , West Palm Beach . In addition to the research conducted at various te repositories throughout Palm Beach County , GAI consulted local informants knowledgeable about the 7 history and architecture within the Old School Square Historic Arts District during both the research and t survey phases . The informants provided contextual background on the history and development within C the survey area , as well as property- specific historical information for selected resources . Co 2 . 3 Field Survey and Data Entry S The boundary of the Old School Square Historic Resources Survey ( see Figure 2 ) was established by the City of Delray Beach Planning and Zoning Department , and coincided with the accepted boundary of the c locally- designated district . This area consisted of a long , narrow section of the City centered on the Old 7' School Square complex and Atlantic Avenue , in an urban area comprising mostly residential resources . /,, The district' s proximity to the central Delray Beach business district makes it particularly susceptible to C increasing development pressures . iC, GAI Architectural Historians Jared N . Tuk and Matthew Hyland conducted the field survey phase of this S project between February 28 and March 4 , 2005 , systematically walking street - by- street to identify C architectural resources . The field survey phase involved the documentation of architectural resources in c 0, gai consultants 4 c t- Final Report Old School Square Historic Resources Survey ( , June 30 , 2005 adi the Old School Square survey area ( 42 newly surveyed resources and 102 survey updates ) . The 144 IL resources , including the primary buildings and any contributing outbuildings , were photographed and ' recorded on FMSF Forms and entered into the SmartForm II database program . The architectural styles , features , and settings of these resources were recorded , and any major changes or alterations to the ati resources were noted and photographed . According to the specifications of this contract and recently - td adopted policies of the Florida Master Site File , all copies of the photographs were prints processed from gai digital images taken during the field survey phase . FMSF forms and supporting materials were submitted to the City of Delray Beach Planning and Zoning Department . Since a comprehensive survey of the Old School Square Historic Arts District had not been conducted for L% I aid, pre - 1955 resources , GAI expected to identify a number of resources that had not been previously recorded in the FMSF , as well as resources that had been previously identified but not updated in a -' I number of years . The survey area , due to its location near the heart of downtown Delray Beach , is �- _,' experiencing ongoing development pressures . As a result , it continues to lose pieces of its architectural fabric . In addition , since there are a significant percentage of post -World War II resources in the greater Delray Beach area , GAI expected to encounter a number of pre - 1955 resources within the survey area l I that would have previously been excluded from consideration for historic designation . Based on the nature of development and the distribution of architecture in the various neighborhoods within the City , I I =' GAI expected to find a variety of architectural styles and types , ranging from high - style resources to commonly - found examples of Florida vernacular architecture . t 2 . 4 Evaluation w I An important project goal was to provide an up- to - date evaluation of the architectural resources in the Old School Square survey area for individual designation and as contributors to the Old School Square ( Historic Arts District , either for its locally - designated status or as a potential NRHP district . This evaluation was based on the information collected during the GAI survey , the NRHP Criteria ( Appendix A ) , National Register Bulletin 15- How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation ( National Park Service IL 1998 ) , and National Register Bulletin 21 - Defining Boundaries for National Register Properties ( National Park Service 1997) . The evaluation of Delray Beach ' s architectural resources is detailed in Designation , . Criteria , as outlined by the Delray Beach Planning and Zoning Department . The local Designation Criteria , the National Register Criteria , and their applicability to the Old School Square survey area are more fully explained in Section 6 . 0 . eay air ego d eir ar lir 11, 41, Ai gai consultants 5 It to Final Report Old School Square Historic Resources Survey 41/ June 30 , 2005 -443 110 Ias, C '', 3 . 0 Previous Surveys in the Old School Square Survey Area GAI and the City of Delray Beach Planning and Zoning Department conducted a search of previous 4 historical and architectural surveys conducted within the City . Four previous cultural resource surveys have been conducted within the City . These identified architectural and historical surveys , which have Nal been conducted since the early 1980s , are summarized below . It ' 'S 3 . 1 Previous Cultural Resources Surveys in the Survey Area id In 1981 , Sanford I . Smith conducted a preliminary survey of Delray Beach for the Historic Palm Beach * County Preservation Board . In his survey , Smith identified three significant commercial resources , twelve ''� ( 12 ) historical residential resources , and the two Defray Beach schools . This survey resulted only in the IL completion of FMSF forms for the aforementioned properties , which were incorporated into the collection C, of FMSF forms for the architectural and archaeological survey of the south county area . to al, Under the direction of John P . Johnson , the Historic Palm Beach County Preservation Board conducted the first large - scale survey of the City' s resources in 1987 . This survey consisted of a broad windshield C survey of Delray Beach , which resulted not in a comprehensive list of resources , but rather an overview of t/ representative architectural styles exhibited in buildings built prior to 1940 . The methodology of the 1987 survey centered on visual identification of resources thought to be historic . The survey team collected C information on those buildings identified as potentially historic . The results of the survey conducted by Johnson et al . in 1987 were FMSF files for 270 architectural resources and an illustrated report . ' , The second large - scale survey of historical and architectural resources conducted in Delray Beach , known as the Delray Beach Historic Resources Survey - Phase I , was completed in 1999 by Janus C ^ Research of Coral Gables . This survey concentrated on several areas of concentrated development , including Del - Ida Park , Osceola Park , the commercial district along Atlantic Avenue , and barrier island C resources between the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Avenue . This survey resulted in FMSF files L and an illustrated report for a number of resources throughout the City , none of which are located in the a Old School Square survey area . IL 63 Finally , in 2002 , Janus Research of Coral Gables conducted the Delray Beach Historic Sites Survey - (, Phase II , within the corporate boundary of Delray Beach . This survey identified 500 pre - 1955 resources , t and provided recommendations for local and NRHP designation . The resulting report and FMSF forms a were submitted to the Florida Department of State - Division of Historical Resources and the City of Delray Beach Planning and Zoning Department . IL 332 National Register - Listed Resources in the Old School Square Survey Area .45 C ,. Five historic aboveground resources in the City of Delray Beach are listed in the National Register of a Historic Places . Of these , two resources are located within the Old School Square survey area . These L resources are briefly described below . C a Sundy House ( PB00182 ) . 106 South Swinton Avenue , Delray Beach . The Sundy House was originally C built as the home of John Shaw Sundy , who moved to Linton ( now Delray Beach ) with his family in 1899 . a Upon incorporation of Delray in 1911 , Sundy became the first mayor , and he went on to serve seven t+ terms . This 2 - story Queen Anne style house was built in 1902 . Built on an L plan , this house possesses C such notable features as a steeply - pitched roof with pent eaves , ornate bargeboard trim , detailed jig sawn a roof brackets , and a large wrap- around porch with jig sawn woodwork trim . The house is significant for its C rare Queen Anne design and craftsmanship in the area , as well as for its association with the locally - Cr ^ prominent John Shaw Sundy . C ' Old School Square Complex ( PB00238 , PB07697 , PB07698) . 51 North Swinton Avenue , Delray Beach . /, This complex of buildings , situated at the heart of downtown Delray Beach , includes the City' s first high C school and original gymnasium . Today , this site is the focus of the historic preservation movement in Delray Beach , as the buildings have been sympathetically converted for other uses . The Cornell Museum C building , which was built in 1913 and originally featured a rusticated concrete block exterior , has received a stucco exterior treatment , but the original fenestration arrangement and widow ' s walk remain . The Crest 11) Theatre building , which was built in 1926 in the Mediterranean Revival style , features such salient I architectural elements as a barrel tile roof and arched apertures . The gymnasium building , also C constructed in the Mediterranean Revival style in 1926 , features an unusual entrance on the north 411) C ,y gai consultants 1 6 it 4160 se Final Report Old School Square Historic Resources Survey June 30 , 2005 41, elevation , with paired Corinthian columns and a recessed arched entryway . Also on the property but dating only from 2002 are a band shell and an arcaded hyphen connecting the Crest Theatre and the Cornell Museum buildings . While of modern construction , these elements have been constructed to be sympathetic to the original buildings on the property and do not detract from the overall architectural and historical character of the property . The Old School Square Complex is significant for its association with education and the arts in the city , as well as for its history in the community planning and development of Delray Beach . t 3 . 3 City of Delray Beach Historic Landmarks In 1987 , the City of Delray Beach enacted Ordinance 13 - 87 , which provided for the identification , preservation , protection , enhancement , perpetuation , and the use of districts , archaeological sites , buildings , structures , improvements , and appurtenances that are historically significant , that provide significant examples of architectural styles of the past , and that are unique assets to the City of Delray Beach . As part of this ordinance , Delray Beach established Criteria for Designation of Historic Sites and Districts , which generally follow those of the National Park Service ' s NRHP Criteria for Evaluation ( see Appendix A) , although more specifically tailored to the City . Resources within Delray Beach that meet the IL Criteria for Designation of Historic Sites and Districts may then be nominated for listing on the Local a", Register of Historic Places , to be approved by the Historic Preservation Board . Since 1987 , the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Board has approved the local designation of 28 individual resources and five historic districts . Of these locally- designated resources , only two individual resources , the Monterrey House ( PB12970 ) , located at 20 North Swinton Avenue , and the Historic Bungalow ( PB12971 ) , located at 24 North Swinton Avenue , occur within the Old School Square survey area . These two individually - listed resources were designated by Ordinances 27 - 95 and 28 - 95 respectively , adopted on June 6 , 1995 . The Old School Square Historic Arts District was designated a local historic district by Ordinance 1 - 88 , adopted on February 9 , 1988 .

At first , masonry buildings were predominantly constructed of brick , but this gave way -� by the 1930s to rough - or smooth -faced concrete block , although early examples of concrete block A construction remain in Delray Beach . By the late 1920s , hollow tile and brick were the most popular L materials for masonry homes . After World War II , concrete or cinder block was used most frequently . -45 Masonry Vernacular buildings were finished with a variety of materials including stucco , brick veneer , L stone veneer , and tile . Stylistically , they were influenced by such trends in Florida as Mission and Art Deco , although in much diluted form . By the 1940s , Masonry Vernacular houses were typically built with an L fty fi .r. rg. t :y : IL plan which featured a side gabled main block with a I it shallow projecting ell on the front and a shallow front porch , i ' Jr.: �" 1r +; . closely • representing variants of the popular Ranch style .

IL I , Single- family residences with uniform setbacks from the 1900s to the 1950s are set on a grid street plan and make up the overwhelming majority of the building stock in the survey area . Nearly half of the buildings within the survey area are built in the Frame Vernacular mode , while approximately 20 % of A, buildings are constructed in the Masonry Vernacular mode . Smaller numbers of Bungalow , Minimal Traditional , Mission , and Mediterranean Revival buildings are also present in the survey area . Commercial buildings in the survey area are concentrated primarily along Atlantic Avenue , although there � � are isolated examples of commercial resources that are housed in former residential buildings elsewhere C laid, in the Old School Square district . The commercial buildings along Atlantic Avenue consist mostly of two - t story masonry buildings with glass storefronts and other modern appurtenances . These buildings reflect several popular styles from the early 20th century , including Art Deco/Moderne , Masonry Vernacular , and L Iea, Bauhaus .

The concluding section of this chapter C ties together the important historical themes in the 2005 Old School Square survey area as illustrated by ai IL examples of local architecture . c 5 . 2 Early History of Delray Beach `A, Development in the vicinity of Delray Beach began in 1876 , with the construction of the Orange Grove to 4410 House of Refuge No . 3 by the United States Life Saving Corps . This building was built on the shores of Itethe Atlantic Ocean in what is now Delray Beach , and was named for the nearby sour orange grove . This 411, building was one of nine houses of refuge constructed on the east coast of Florida , from New Smyrna to I Biscayne Bay . These buildings were constructed to serve as life saving stations for shipwrecked sailors or 411, ,It for travelers passing from the northern point of Jupiter south to Miami . The Zion Post Office was constructed near present - day Delray Beach in 1885 , and it served as a stop for the Barefoot Mailman , It, who would make an overnight stop on his route between Juno wol Beach and Lemon City , located just north of Miami (Janus It J, Research 2002 : 10 ) . x = �', . . `"? , ,- , •4 _ M Photograph 9—Orange Grove House of Refuge, Built in 1876 • . - * . .r - • ' • ` 1 ir 'rir ir---- �+ In 1894 , William S . Linton , a postmaster from Saginaw , . ,, , ~1 it 7.141/1w 41 IL Michigan , traveled to south Florida with his friend and bookstore -, owner David Swinton . While in West Palm Beach , they became aware of a land sale being held near the ti House of Refuge and traveled down the East Coast Canal by barge to see the land . Ultimately , Linton ti and Swinton purchased 160 acres of land from Captain George Gleason of Jacksonville , who originally sag purchased the land in 1868 under the provisions of the Homestead Exemption Act ( Farrar 1974 : 12 ) . !(, '_ . Linton , in turn , platted a town in his name on this land . He _ _ - ,= == - - - ; , returned to Michigan and began an advertising campaign to ; /1 __ - promote his investment and to draw settlers to his new ItoI - - i : town . The 1895 Plat for the Town of Linton laid out a central l .. ii business district , residential lots , a school lot , and a race It _ - - ry •°- .. track .

Many of the new local residents went to work for Flagler , clearing and grading the railroad IL route and laying rails ( Nielander 1995 : 7 ) . Black families from northern Florida also began to arrive and I settled west of and near the Town of Linton , in an area known as the Sands , which got its name from its It sandy soil . This area is known today as the West Settler' s Historic District . Many of these new families 5' found the area suitable for settlement and opportunity , and in turn , they encouraged relatives and friends It to relocate to the area (Janus Research 2003 : 2 ) . ti I, It a LAP gai consultants 16 a1T Final Report Old School Square Historic Resources Survey L 1 June 30 , 2005 G ai G ; The new settlers to Linton , however , would quickly find themselves tested by several adverse events , t including a freeze that destroyed many of the crops and a hurricane that brought devastation to their property . As a result , many of the settlers , and even William S . Linton , found themselves financially ruined G from the losses of crops and personal property . Many of the town ' s residents traveled back to Michigan or 4410 t south to Miami . The news of Linton ' s financial demise spread to Michigan , and as a result , fewer people were willing to risk settlement in the new town . Because the name Linton had become associated with L these catastrophic events , those citizens who remained decided to change the name of the town , both to Caattract new residents and to minimize the failure associated with William Linton . The name Delray was is" chosen , as it was also the name of the Detroit suburb where resident Warren W . Blackmer originally lived t ( Farrar 1974 : 27 ) . alli At the turn of the 20th century , the railroad spurred growth in the town , and the population expanded as a t t" result . Regular freight and passenger service were offered , and construction began to increase , including L 44 completion of two schools , a general store and commissary , and churches ( Janus Research 2002 : 12 ) . L Flagler' s Model Land Company also brought a number of Japanese immigrants to the area during this period . These immigrants settled just south Delray , forming a colony called Yamato . Flagler encouraged L the Japanese settlers to establish farming communities , and pineapples became their principal crop . L Colony founder Jo Sakai recruited young men from his native village of Miyazu , as well as other surrounding towns , to emigrate to Florida . Yamato Colony settlers frequented Delray , often participating L in social events , educational activities , and trade . However , the Yamato settlement never reached more it" than 100 people , and a combination of a downturn in the pineapple market and competition from Cuban L oud, pineapple growers resulted in the near disappearance of the colony by 1920 ( Janus Research 2003 : 2 ) . Ltil, The early 20th century witnessed steady growth in Delray . During the first decade of the 1900s , the town L continued its transformation from a small farming community to a destination favored by new residents Is, and winter visitors . Atlantic Avenue grew as the commercial center of the town , and construction of hotels L 4, and commercial buildings occurred along this improved road , which was covered in stones from Swinton L Avenue to the East Coast Canal . Communications in Delray were also improved at this time , as the West 41, Palm Beach Telephone Company provided telephone service to the town ( Janus Research 2002 : 12 ) . IL 4) The town continued its evolution during the second decade of the 1900s , as the growing population C allowed for increased investments and improvements . In 1911 , the Town of Delray was incorporated , and t John Shaw Sundy was elected the first mayor ( Sundy' s house still stands in the Old School Square !' Historic Arts District) . The incorporated Town of Delray consisted of land located west of the East Coast C - Canal . Also in 1911 , Palm Beach County was created from Dade County , and since Delray was located t '' closer to the new county seat , it was included in Palm Beach County ( Britt 1984 : 124 ) . in ire }` L 1 LVA ,tc Photograph 11 —Early Photo of John Shaw Sundy t ,.{ : Residence, Which Still Stands on South Swinton => t t^ . t _ : - Avenue • I - .

C. ''� 5 . 3 Florida Land Boom ( and Bust ) in Delray Beach L Following the end of World War I , which did not have a pronounced effect on Delray due to its relative 44 , isolation , a period of prosperity began in the area and throughout Florida . Many people were drawn to t Florida' s mild climate , and the proliferation of automobiles and road improvements teamed to bring many t settlers to the Delray area . Known as the "Ocean City , " the prime location and wealth of available land made Delray a top attraction for new residents (Janus Research 2003 : 3 ) . Land auctions were a daily C event in a tent on Atlantic Avenue , and commercial and residential buildings sprang up throughout the oul#, town . A number of new subdivisions were also developed throughout Delray , allowing middle - income C tinfamilies an opportunity to purchase homes . By 1923 , the increased settlement prompted incorporation of L the Town of Delray Beach , located between the East Coast Canal and the Atlantic Ocean . Shortly i thereafter , in response to the housing shortage and to fill subdivisions in the town , the Delray Realty L r Board initiated a " Build - a - Home " program in 1925 . Moderately- priced homes were constructed throughout L the town to accommodate the increased demand for housing , and many of these homes were built in the ,l popular styles of the time , including Spanish - influenced Mediterranean Revival and Mission styles , C. fashionable in the Palm Beach area during the 1920s , and the Bungalow and Frame Vernacular ( borrowing C 1" many Bungalow influences ) styles . By 1927 , the towns L _ of Delray and Delray Beach merged , and were _. incorporated as the City of Delray Beach ( Janus C �..� t _ Research 2002 : 18 ) . el L • Photograph 14— The Colony Hotel on East Atlantic II Avenue, Built in 1926 L f -� "`� • Although development was growing at an exponential C I - _ rate , and the numbers of full - time and seasonal residents continued to increase , the Land Boom came to C a jarring halt . By the end of 1925 , many real estate investors began to cancel transactions , as they �� became panicked by the news of bogus Florida real estate ventures . Prices and demand for Florida real C. a 1 �) estate had become so exaggerated that there was little basis for the inflated market . By August of 1926 , the FEC Railroad stopped shipment of construction materials , severely hampering construction ( Curl � �� 1987 : 94 ) . The downfall was further exacerbated by two devastating hurricanes which passed through 'L I � r7) Palm Beach County , in 1926 and 1928 . The 1928 hurricane was particularly damaging to Delray Beach , ty as more than 227 houses were destroyed in the storm ( Farrar 1974 : 66 ) . By the end of the 1920s , and as la" with the crash of the stock market , Florida' s real estate was rendered virtually worthless . � , S The greatest percentage of resources encountered in the Old School Square Survey area date from the It Land Boom period , and include residential , commercial , and institutional resources .

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 ) . t t I Construction projects on Ocean Boulevard and the Intracoastal Waterway also began to increase during f ' this period , and subdivisions such as Ocean Breeze Estates and Seabreeze Park were platted and I , I developed . Local architects began to design homes in lighter and simpler forms , providing a more stylish L I 1 and practical response to those homes constructed during the Land Boom period ( Groover 1998 : 70 ) . Bythe end of the 1930s , daily life in south Florida was beingshaped bythe loomingthreat of war . Florida �, � Y � P " � was to become one of the military' s major training grounds , and new training facilities were located on L It , 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 It curtailed as hotels were converted for use as military housing . The influx of servicemen and their families t lit ? 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 t 17 German submarines patrolled off the east coast of Florida ( Curl 1987 : 109 ) . t I 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 t I 7 and climate of the area , and many decided to remain after the war ( Janus Research 2003 : 4) . t I ' A large percentage of the surveyed resources in the Old School Square Survey area date from this period , and reflect the styles built in response to the economic conditions and construction needs 7 encountered during the Great Depression and World War II . L - 7 5 , 5 Aftermath of World War II to Present t I 7 Following World War II , communities in Florida began to grow at a rapid rate . Many of the World War II t 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 , t I . . 7 were quickly and efficiently constructed using the latest in building technology . In addition to the rapid ti or growth of permanent and seasonal residents , the tourist population increased dramatically , reaching pre - war levels ( Janus Research 2002 : 20) . 7 By the 1950s , architects began designing homes in Delray Beach that capitalized on ease of construction t I _ � and suitability to the local climate . Many homes in the Palm Trail and Chevy Chase neighborhoods were constructed with 2 - car garages , metal frame jalousie or awning windows , and low- pitched roofs . These 7 architects 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 ( Janus Research 2002 : 21 ) . It t � � 7 Another wave of settlement in Delray Beach occurred in the 1960s and 1970s , in response to the 1._ s relocation of large corporations such as IBM and Motorola to the area . Along with construction of offices t '�'A and manufacturing facilities in the surrounding areas , suburban developments were built near Delray l e Beach , and many of the new residents found these suburbs much more attractive than neighborhoods t Ler near downtown ( Curl 1987 : 124 ) . As a result of suburban development , shopping areas and amenities t ler were built outside of the downtown area , and the resulting shift toward suburbanization had a negative effect on Delray Beach . It tanIn the 1980s , Delray Beach initiated efforts to revitalize the heart of downtown , by emphasizing the t I . benefits of historic preservation and improving the infrastructure along the principal business t thoroughfares . This effort continued through the 1990s and into the 2000s , as Delray Beach seeks to Loymaintain its historic character and preserve its built environment by placing a renewed emphasis on the t tar benefits of living and conducting business in and around the downtown area .

Constructed by early settlers , these buildings utilized local materials and most builders paid little attention to concerns for style . This building �. style was employed as an expedient response to the immediate demands of housing and commerce . Common features of these buildings included simple frame construction and the use of low pier footings !, as foundations . Some builders used cut tree trunks for foundation piers . A noteworthy example of this simple vernacular style in the project area is the Clark House ( currently , the Law Offices of Weiner and CI Aronson ) , located at 102 North Swinton Avenue . This "74 , = = 1 building was built in 1898 , and stands as one of the oldest G `-. t ` extant structures in Delray Beach . 6?c' - , ,+fie r _ r . . - ,k t � '. car `n '' Photograph 15—Clark House (PB00312) , Currently Offices G '' ow ®�_ _= r 10 of Weiner and Aronson Cl10 I ``' The first decades of the twentieth century witnessed G 4' 7-1 "11111111growing building activity .

L Usually standing one story high , they feature a gable roof and a rectangular floor plan . Exposed rafter ' tails and front porches supported by battered piers characterize the style .

' These resources were also collectively evaluated for their potential to be contributors to the locally- listed C and potentially NRHP - eligible Old School Square Historic Arts District . GAI utilized the criteria and Afit C standards relevant for each historic register , including National Register Bulletin 15- How to Apply the National Register Criteria ( National Park Service 1998 ) and the criteria defined in Section 4 . 5 . 1 ( B ) of C Delray Beach Ordinance 13 - 87 . C ' 612 National Register of Historic Places ( NRHP ) Co ' The NRHP provides recognition for individual buildings and historic districts significant on the national , state , and local levels . One important function of the NRHP is to identify significant properties that federal , C state , and local planners should carefully consider when developing projects . Specifically , any project C involving federal or state funding , permitting , licensing , or assistance must avoid adverse impacts to the G ' NRHP - listed or -eligible property , or if unavoidable , must mitigate adverse effects to these properties . Listing in the NRHP , either individually or as part of an historic district , may make a property eligible for a C Federal Income Tax Credit . The property must be income producing and may qualify for up to a 20 % C income tax credit . In Florida , counties and cities can grant ad valorem tax relief for owners of historic !' properties . NRHP - listed properties also may be eligible for some American with Disabilities Act ( ADA) and C building safety code adjustments . C 0' , o• 6 . 3 Historical Significance and the NRHP Criteria C The NRHP lists individual landmarks and historic districts that satisfy specific criteria for significance and i, standards for architectural integrity . The significance of an individual landmark or an historic district is C „4 assessed against the historic context established for the surrounding city , county , region , or state . The C historic context written for the Old School Square architectural survey area established important rtl, historical themes and time periods against which the area' s historic resources can be evaluated . C * ' GAI evaluated the integrity of individual resources in the Old School Square survey area , as well as the C ' ' integrity of the overall survey area as a clearly- defined district . The architectural integrity of an individual C. historic resource or an historic district carries equal weight with its historic significance in assessing a ' eligibility for listing in the NRHP . Alterations and additions to historic resources affect the integrity of C individual resources . Generally , many buildings in Delray Beach have been altered or added to in some ` n degree over the years , affecting their individual integrity . However , several potential districts as a whole C I ' within the City retain good levels of integrity , due to their retention of street plans , few examples of C modern infill construction or demolitions , uniformity of scale , and homogeneous architectural styles . r ' C 6 . 4 Applying the NRHP Criteria to the Old School Square Survey Area C The three NRHP Criteria ( Criteria A , B , and C ) relating to historic structures were applied to individual 1-, historic resources and potential historic districts in the Old School Square survey area . C L • Criterion A relates to significance in the broad patterns of history on the national , state , or local C level , as well as association with important historical events . For example , the Seaboard Airline 45, C �" Railroad Station is significant under Criterion A for its association with transportation and L /, commerce in south Florida and the early development of Delray Beach during the first half of the C 20`h century . This resource stands as a representative example of one of the early railroad related C structures remaining in the area , and the resource is able to convey a sense of its place in the Lfilli history of Delray Beach . C Li, • Criterion B relates to an individual resource ' s association with a person or persons significant on C the local , state , or national level . A historic district may also be significant under Criterion B for C L buildings that are associated with significant individuals . The John Sundy House is listed in the C If, gai consultants 22 C , 01, C 1 it 15 #4. Final Report Old School Square Historic Resources Survey I June 30 . 2005 r 4 1 NRHP under Criterion B ( among others ) for its association with the life and productive career of prominent local government leader John Shaw Sundy , who not only was an early settler in Linton 413 ( later Delray) , but also was the first ( and long - time ) mayor of Delray upon its incorporation in 4 I 1911 . G • Criterion C relates to buildings or historic districts that embody one or more distinctive L architectural styles or types , or can be attributed to known architects or master craftsmen . The .4 Old School Square Complex, on North Swinton Avenue , is significant under Criterion C ( as well C. as Criterion A - education ) as a grouping of well - preserved large - scale Masonry Vernacular and '1, Mediterranean Revival buildings dating from the 1913 through 1926 . These buildings are II distinguished from the surrounding built environment , as they stand as lone representative G examples of early 20th - century education - related architecture in downtown Delray Beach . G 6 . 5 Historic Resources Eligible for Individual Listing and / or Designation C. 4 As part of the Old School Square survey , GAI identified buildings in the survey area that are individually 1 eligible for listing in the NRHP and/or as locally designated historic landmarks . Because this was a G reconnaissance - level survey , these evaluations were based on exterior examinations only along with dit G basic historical research . The City should undertake an intensive survey of the following resources I, involving a detailed exterior and interior examination , comprehensive historic research , and a C. determination of formal historic boundaries for each resource . This should be followed by requests for t 's formal nomination of the historic resources to the NRHP and/or as Delray Beach historic landmarks , as 45 appropriate . Table 2 lists the recommended historic resources evaluated during the 2005 survey , along G with their FSMF number , name (where applicable ) , address , and the applicable City of Delray Beach L 4, and /or NRHP eligibility .

Establishing preliminary boundaries for this historic district followed guidelines as outlined in National Register Bulletin 21 ( National Park Service C 1997 ) and took into consideration such factors as distribution of historic resources ; natural boundaries ( if any present) ; man - made boundaries such as streets and roads ; and most importantly , the ability of the C j district to convey the feeling of a coherent historic area , undiluted by the intrusion of significant numbers of modern buildings or features . • AS The Old School Square Historic Arts District was listed in the Delray Beach local register in 1988 . The S buildings found throughout the district reflect a number of styles popular in Florida during the first half of the 20t century , including frame and masonry vernacular , Mediterranean Revival , Mission , and "I Bungalow , among others . The period of significance for the district upon local designation was 1902 to t- , 1945 , and its original boundary was marked by NW 1st Avenue on the west , NE 4th Street on the north , C the east side of NE 1st Avenue on the east , and SW /SE 2nd Street on the south . The district takes its C 1 name from its focal point , the Old School Square Complex , located at 51 North Swinton Avenue . This ' district , which is located at the heart of downtown Delray Beach , includes some of the earliest educational t resources in the city . However , the district is also contains a well - preserved representative collection of 4 Delray Beach ' s residential ( and some commercial ) buildings from the city ' s formative years . As such , t these buildings are included in the district and are significant as a whole for their ability to reflect the G trends in community planning and development in Delray Beach in the early 20th century . The district is also significant for its architecture , as its components are well - preserved examples of the popular building C types of Delray Beach during the period of significance . All of the buildings identified during the 2005 survey are recommended as contributors to the district on the local level . t 1 The history of the community planning and development of Delray Beach is clearly reflected in this ' district , as it shows the commercial and educational focus of the city at its center , with a collection of t residential resources growing out from the axial streets over time . As such , the Old School Square *? Historic Arts District is recommended eligible for NRHP listing under Criterion A . While John Sundy was C an important figure in the history of Linton and Delray ( later Delray Beach ) , only one resource in the 11 t district is significantly associated with his active and productive life . No significant individuals associated ' with the district as a whole have been identified , and therefore , the Old School Square district is G ,' recommended not eligible under Criterion B . The collection of well - preserved examples of a variety of C architectural styles from the early 20th century , reflecting several building types , makes the Old School pi Square district NRHP - eligible under Criterion C . The period of significance for the Old School Square C Historic Arts District dates from the earliest documented building within the district , the 1898 Clark House C ( as identified in the Delray Beach Historic Sites Survey, John P . Johnson , 1987— now known as the Law ,' Offices of Weiner and Aronson ) , to 1955 . In addition , the pavilion and arcaded breezeway at the Old C School Square Complex , which date from 2002 , are not contributing resources per se , but have been e ' constructed as secondary structures to complement the historic buildings on the site . When these C _ ' resources reach 50 years of age , they should be considered contributing resources to the district .

GAI ' s background research included a review of previous Delray i Beach architectural surveys , published histories of Delray Beach and Palm Beach County , web sites on it 4 ' Delray Beach history , National Register of Historic Places nominations for historic resources in Delray Beach , informant interviews , and historic maps and photographs . The GAI survey resulted in the t isis. completion of FMSF forms and photographs for 42 newly surveyed properties and 102 survey updates . The survey resulted in an illustrated historic context for the architectural resources within the locally- designated Old School Square Historic Arts District . GAI evaluated the surveyed properties for individual t 4 7 listing in the National Register of Historic Places ( NRHP ) and for individual designation as Delray Beach it 64historic landmarks . GAI also evaluated the surveyed properties as contributing resources to the Old 7 School Square historic district , both for its current locally- designated status , as well as for potential NRHP t 4 ' eligibility . it 4, � 7 . 2 Recommendations t 4 ' • Integrate the FMSF forms and photographs of the Old School Square survey with the files of previously surveyed architectural resources at the City of Delray Beach Planning and Zoning Department , as well as at the Cornell Museum Archives at the Old School Square Complex and te the Delray Beach Public Library , where they should be made available for review and copying by t 4 the general public . • Consider funding for a National Register of Historic Places nomination for the Old School Square it Historic Arts District . The City should be sure to involve property owners and local neighborhood it 4 e. preservation groups during the nomination process . This should include an educational component , as many individual property owners in the survey area may not be aware of the t 4 _ benefits afforded to them if their property is NRHP listed . .' • Consider pursuit of individual National Register of Historic Places listing for the ten ( 10 ) resources t 11 recommended eligible for listing during this survey . The City should establish a prioritized list of 'T individual properties for NRHP listing , ensuring responsiveness to the most urgent preservation It 4 1 needs of Delray Beach . As with the district nomination process , the City should be sure to involve a property owners throughout the process , as well as to educate them about the benefits of NRHP 4 ir listing . It nip T • Consider pursuit of local designation for the aforementioned 52 resources recommended * 1 1 individually eligible during this survey . As with NRHP nominations , the City should work with local itproperty owners to educate them about benefits of designation and to eliminate misconceptions 4 it about linkages between local designation and/or NRHP listing and covenants or landowner t _ i restrictions . it • Amend the local district status of the Old School Square Historic Arts District to include updated �� ' information as gathered during the 2005 survey . This should include adding contributing buildings It ll, It at least 50 years of age that were previously omitted from consideration , notation of buildings - demolished since original designation , and notation of alterations and additions to contributing I � tip demolished within the district . It ill ' a • Fund a comprehensive professional survey of historic architectural resources in the areas of the it $4 T city not yet surveyed . The 2005 Old School Square survey focused on a small area in an existing Itlocal historic district in the immediate vicinity of downtown Delray Beach . A number of resources li ? located within Delray Beach but outside the Old School Square survey area are greater than 50 it 4years of age and should be identified and formally evaluated in subsequent surveys , which will also assist the Planning and Zoning Department in responding to the ever- changing preservation I , needs of the city . till , rw It a ill t 27 Ill T gai consultants G 3 Final Report Old School Square Historic Resources Survey 1 June 30 , 2005 C 1 • Promote the Delray Beach Historic Marker program to clearly identify the city ' s historic landmarks C from the road . This will boost community pride in local historic properties and will encourage V residents to preserve and maintain historic properties . s� 7 • Promote the Delray Beach tax abatement program , which offers financial incentives for owners of `s historic properties for renovation and rehabilitation . This should be an effective tool for the city to I gain public support of historic preservation programs and will promote preservation of the city ' s ' historic resources . • Because public education should be a continuing goal of historic preservation in Delray Beach , this report and its recommendations should be made available for public inspection on - line from 7 the City of Delray Beach web site . In the future ( as part of large - scale comprehensive survey projects ) , this website should also incorporate the results of GIS mapping , to assist property owners and researchers in identifying locations of surveyed resources . et ill 19 Nwe 7t � " r I, 41, 19 FJ i10 p 4 ill C 7 " 7 " ', C ' C ' C 7 C e 7 e 1 c � c *) e t s. fJankJ, 9 ai consultants 28 1 ' Final Report June 30 , 2005 Old School Square Historic Resources Survey Jr t .5 8 . 0 References Cited r ill Britt , Lora S . 1984 My Gold Coast: South Florida in Earlier Years .

A . r December 5 , 2008 , P ,,, I • WEST SETTLERS HISTORIC DISTRICT HISTORIC SURVEY REPORT INTRODUCTION The City of Delray Beach has retained the firm of R.J . Heisenbottle Architects, P . A. (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 District . RJHA ' s task will be to prepare individual Survey Reports for each of the four historic districts . These survey reports will include the following information : • Historical overview of the district . • Review existing criteria for determining contributing and non-contributing structures . • • Recommendations on extending Periods of Significance , where appropriate , • within the district . • Update Florida Master Site File forms for previously recorded structures . • Prepare new Florida Master Site File forms for previously unrecorded structures • Prepare maps and photographs for all sites within the district. These surveys are reviewing all structures located within the locally designated historic districts that are thirty five (35 ) years or older. Information on structures currently listed is being updated, noting any alterations, relocations and demolitions since the time that the Designation Report was originally prepared . Structures not previously listed, that meet the 35 year or older criteria and that are deemed "contributing" to the historic district, are being added to the Florida Master Site File and are being recommended for inclusion in the Local Register of Historic Places ' Historic District Designation Report . To date , RJHA has completed work on the Nassau Park Historic District and on the Old School Square Historic Arts District. The West Settlers Historic District Survey Report • will provide information on those items outlined above , based on field work, research conducted on City records, including building cards and permits , Sanborn map records available at the Delray Beach Planning and Zoning Department, existing historical publications and on historical research conducted at the Delray Beach Historical Society. • The West Settlers Historic District was listed on the Local Register of Historic Places in 1997 . As the Designation Report states, " . . . the district should be assessed for its historical significance which perhaps weighs more heavily than its architectural • • importance" . It would be fair to say that although , as the Designation Report goes on to say, " . . . many of the structures rank low in the history of architectural achievement" , the 2 I . buildings do comprise a good representative cross section of the architectural types found within the area in general, and present a good timeline of the historical development of this early African American settlement in Delray Beach . Many of the significant historic structures have perished in recent years, victims of development and of demolition-by- neglect, some even after the historic district designation was put in place . These losses to • the visual and historical fabric of the neighborhood further reinforce the significance of the remaining ones, even when their numbers continue to diminish . BOUNDARIES (See Attachment A : Historic District Map) • The West Settlers Historic District boundaries, as designated in 1997 , are as follows : • • Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard (N .W . 2nd Street) to the north, then, • The alley running north-south in Block 43 , between N . W . 2nd and 31-d Avenues, then, • N . W. 1 ' Street, running west from said alley in Block 43 , to N . W . 3 `d Avenue, then, • N . W. 3rd Avenue, running south to east-west alley between N . W . 1st Street and Atlantic Avenue , then, • The east-west alley between N .W. 1st Street and Atlantic Avenue as the southern • • • boundary, then, • N . W . 5th Avenue running north to the south property line of Lot 13 , Block 20 , then, • The south property line of Lot 13 , Block 20 to the alley running north-south C . - between N .W . 5th and 6th Avenues, then, • The alley running north-south between N . W . 5th and 6th Avenues northerly to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard (N . W. 2nd Street) . NEW BOUNDARY RECOMMENDATIONS (See Attachment A ) - The historic district ' s southern boundary has undergone significant erosion of its historic fabric to merit justifiable inclusion within the current boundary delineation. The southeastern-most block was already vacant at the time of designation . Although sometimes vacant property may be included within district boundaries as a mechanism to . allow for review of future infill construction, in this case that block has already been developed and is currently occupied by the Atlantic Grove Townhouses . Similarly, the southwest corner of the district, on the west side of N . W . 5th Avenue between Atlantic Avenue and N . W. 1st Street, immediately north of the Fire Station, contains only vacant land and non-contributing structures . Removing this corner from the district boundaries increases the overall density of contributing structures within the redefined boundaries . In this particular case, though, the City may want to retain this corner within the district in order to have review authority over new infill construction . 3 • The original northern physical boundary was defined during segregation days in the 1950s by the construction of a wall that separated the black and white residential areas just to the north of present day Lake -Ida Road (N . W . 4th Street) . This wall is still in evidence at the northern edge of Boy Scouts Park, on the north side of Lake-Ida Road. As part of preparing this report, RJHA studied the possibility of expanding the northern boundary of the West Settlers Historic District to this historic edge . Although there are several contributing structures located within this potential expansion area, their number and density is not sufficient to justify the district ' s expansion . In fact, the ratio of contributing to non-contributing structures would be low enough that it would hurt the overall integrity of the district as presently designated . The presence of the wall , unsavory as it may be, is a strong reminder of a historical period in the development of the West Settlers Historic District, and should be memorialized either through historic designation or through placement of a historical marker. at R6 nal _is) geldj, .M0* k yr- Segregation Days Dividing Wall CONTEXT The West Settlers Historic District is located just to the northwest of downtown Delray Beach, a small enclave that speaks of the days of segregation when Americans of African descent were restricted to live and do business within the confines of their own community. Originally it was the site of an early African-American settlement that rivaled the early days of the town of Linton in the resourcefulness of its residents in getting an agricultural industry, along with a public school , religious and social institutions established. It included a series of neighborhoods named after physical characteristics of their respective areas, such as The Sands and Frog Alley (See Historical Significance below) . During the segregation days of the 1950s , its boundaries were more 4 clearly defined, as its residents were not allowed to live or shop east of Swinton Avenue fee or north of N . W . 4th Street . After segregation, many of the early housing stock and businesses fell into decline , as the residents were able to move about anywhere within the city limits . The neighborhood, however, never lost its identity or its cohesiveness , as new apartment buildings went up , and the old commercial establishments such as grocery stores , barber shops and other "ma-n-pa" operations continued to provide basic services and livelihood to the residents . fie HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE esa It was 1894 when a confluence of factors resulted in the establishment of both the black and white settlements that eventually would become Delray Beach . That year, William S . Linton, U. S . Congressman from Saginaw, Michigan, purchased 160 acres of land in the grje area we know today as Delray Beach from the original homesteader, Captain George Gleason. Mr. Linton, encouraged by the development opportunities that Henry M . Flagler ' s extension of the Florida East Coast Railway and his Model Land Company brought to the South Florida area, started a settlement, along with a group he recruited in es".- Michigan, recorded the town plat and named the town after himself. But soon after, when a hard freeze devastated the local crops , Mr. Linton fell on hard times and defaulted on edi 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, Era Michigan. During the same year of 1894, a small group of African-American families from the • - Florida Panhandle , led by Fagen Henry and his wife Jane , purchased land from Henry Flagler' s Model Land Company and settled in the area just to the west of the Linton settlement. That geographic location marks the origins of the name West Settlers Historic District. Soon these families began farming the land and by 1895 they had harvested their first winter crop . The settlement grew, as more Americans of African descent were • attracted by the opportunity to buy land that could be cultivated for cash crops and by employment that the railroad and the nearby white settlement known as the Town of Linton provided. Different neighborhoods arose—the Sands in the Central area, Frog Alley, Red Line and Hanna Town among them . Along with the expansion of the settlement came a growth in educational , religious and social institutions . In 1895 the settlers petitioned the County School Board to establish a • - school for their children . The site of the original school house has been memorialized by a small park, located at N .W . 5th Avenue between Atlantic Avenue and N . W. Pt Street, and is listed in the Local Register of Historic Places . • In 1896 the Mount Olive Baptist Church congregation purchased land from the Model Land Company ' s land set-aside program for cultural and religious organizations for $ 1 . 25 and began construction of their first church . Although the original church no longer 5 es see es es, stands , the congregation built a new facility in 1957 , which has been renovated and expanded over the years . The present day church retains its original location at 40 N . W . gir 4th Avenue . eilre fle :IP 1111b:pligh- . - , C ,., , . gra gi g3 r- ea Mount Olive Baptist Church le4Yorn New Church, Circa 1929 New Church, Circa 1957 Renovated Church, 1993 Similarly, the St . Paul African American Methodist Episcopal Church , originally � t established as Mt . Tabor in 1897 , was organized in 1899 . The first church was Sfa constructed in its present site at 119 N . W . 5th Avenue in 1911 and seriously damaged by the 1928 hurricane . The original structure still stands at that location , after several ira renovations and additions over the years . ea Oa 9 4 . ea 4 grafririlisip - _ , rra St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church ter Another important institution during the early days of the settlement was the Free and Accepted Masonic Lodge 275 , established in 1899 . Their original building, constructed in 1904 at 85 N . W . 5th Avenue , no longer stands . The present structure , still at the original site , was built in 1978 . Along with these early institutions , a number of prominent individuals from the community contributed to the development of the West Settlers Historic District and of Delray Beach in general : 6 I a • es ea St. William Robinson moved from South Carolina to Delray Beach in 1901 . Starting as a es share cropper, he soon purchased and began cultivation on his own land at the northeast corner of N .W . 1st Street and 4th Avenue . By 1904 he had built his own house on the lee property, currently at 317 N . W . 1st Street and had acquired additional farm land west of town. His knowledge of farming and house building both continued to grow . He was asked to build houses for neighbors , while he expanded and improved his own home . His house , in fact, was the first one in the community to have electricity and running water, and later a telephone . In the 1920s he enlarged a room in the northwest corner of the ge. house and converted it into a grocery store , which he and his wife Essie ran. The Robinson house was an important center for social life in the community, and because of its sturdy construction, served as a Red Cross shelter during hurricanes . In 1916 he built a packing house to serve his farming business adjacent to his house . Located at 315 N .W. 1st Street, the structure still stands , currently used as a residence . • • • ; • a �s • fi :• • • William Robinson 's House Issaiah Bruin came to Delray Beach from Quincy, Florida in 1909 . Soon after, he married Martha Goldwire , also from Quincy, and had a daughter named Letha . He distinguished himself as a carpenter and builder. Founder and Deacon of the Primitive Baptist Church, he was responsible for all the woodwork of the church, constructed in • • 1920 and no longer standing. Many of the early structures in the community are attributed to Issaiah Bruin, among them the Nelson House , at 125 N . W . 3rd Avenue , and the Susan Williams House , • originally at 30 N .

W. 5'h Avenue Solomon David Spady was one of the most influential educators in Delray Beach for over 35 years . Mr. Spady came to Delray Beach in 1922 as the third African-American public school principal and teacher assigned to the area . Originally from Northampton • County, Virginia, he came to Delray Beach as principal of Delray County Training School, originally known as Delray Colored School Number 4 , the first school founded in 1895 in the community. His assignment to Delray Beach came upon recommendation from Booker T . Washington, founder and president of Tuskegee Institute in Alabama . . According to a biographical sketch provided by the Spady Cultural Heritage Museum, "His plans trained students so that upon their graduation they were able to excel in outstanding institutions of higher learning . . . He organized extra-curricular activities to include a drama club, two literary societies , a glee club , sports teams, a parent teacher association, and at least three entertainments that brought the community together through the school" . Mr. Spady passed away in 1967 at age 82 . He was awarded the "Great Floridians Unsung Hero Award" posthumously in the year 2000 . 3 41444 , „ • • • Solomon Spady House. 8 1 trjmi noil Charles William Patrick, Jr. and his wife Francenia were among the most prominent , Ins best loved figures in the Delray Beach African-American community. Together they Ins owned and operated the La France Hotel, the only hotel in Delray Beach catering to blacks , during the segregation years when African-Americans were not allowed in any of nio the local hotels . Charlie , as he was popularly known, was born in Social Circle, Georgia, sometime between 1908 and 1910 , according to varying family recollections, to a family ILA of farm hands, descendants of slaves . In the early 1920s Charlie moved to the Boynton Beach area in Florida . In 1925 , at the height of the Florida real estate boom , the rest of iii ' his family joined him and they settled in Boynton Beach , a predominantly rural area at the time , pretty much similar to the one they had left behind in Georgia . Charlie was kind Illris and loving, according to family accounts, and helped the family members, including his parents and nine siblings to find jobs in the area . By 1926, when Charlie was just 17 n years old, he married his first wife , Eva Collins and soon after set up his own dry cleaning business in Boynton Beach . A year later his mother died, and it was up to him and his father to care for the rest of the children, all under age 14 . lir?. By the 1930s, during the height of the Great Depression, Charlie had divorced his first wife , fallen in love and remarried to Francenia (Frankie) Johnson, an elementary school teacher and recent college graduate from Bethune-Cookman in Daytona Beach . Charlie in the meantime , continued to struggle , running a beer hall at night and driving a school bus remeduring the day. In 1943 he enlisted in the army and served during World War II. Upon his f 44 return, he decided to build a hotel to cater to African-American waiters, chauffers and others in the service industry who came to Delray Beach and were not allowed to stay in rift IF segregated hotels . Charlie and Frankie bought three lots in Delray Beach for $ 1 ,700, and began work on their new venture . liFri .W" AA f: _ 1 ' • a i` u eat 1040 . - , _. , . . , , _we, *i. 1 ` i 1 t / _ fte 40111211 ire La France Hotel liti, 4, - The 16-room La France Hotel , designed by locally prominent architect Kenneth toot Jacobson and built by contractor Jay Callaway, was completed in 1949 . Its name was derived from Frankie ' s cousin Lola ("La") Johnson and Francenia ("France") , not having 4001 9 CI 1 f anything to do with the country of France , as most people believe . The hotel became a big success, as one of the few establishments in South Florida that welcomed an African- , I American clientele . During the 1950s and 1960s when traveling musicians and f entertainers performed in South Florida, they were not allowed to stay at segregated hotels , but rather had to be either put up by local families, sleep on the beach and face possible arrest or get back on the bus to their next destination. . 14 The La France Hotel provided a major service to guests that included well known no entertainers , professionals and many in the service industry. More than a place to stay, it was a social center where entertainers gathered after they finished performing for the 4;4 evening and would stay up until late eating, drinking, playing cards and catching up with old friends and new acquaintances . It also served as a social center, hosting a variety of gia events through the years . The contribution of Charlie and Frankie Patrick to the African-American community eat during the difficult days of segregation is of major historical significance . As the hotel gia prospered, so did the Patrick family. Charlie Patrick owned a gas station, commercial and office buildings and two pool halls in the neighborhood . gOa ea During the post-segregation days of the 1970s , the hotel started a downward spiral . African-Americans could now stay and shop where they chose and the clientele dwindled. The hotel became a rooming house and fell into disrepair. In 2005 the La arrio France Hotel was restored and expanded. The new complex, now owned by the Oa Community Redevelopment Agency, has been returned to its former glory and now operates as apartments for senior citizens . CA Today the area is a mixed bag of residential , commercial , religious and social activity, some of its buildings in disrepair, others recently restored or on their way back, thanks to the involvement of programs such as Community Revitalization Agency (CRA) and to the commitment and dedication of organizations such as the Expanding & Preserving Our Irea Cultural Heritage , Inc . (EPOCH) . Although many of the early structures have been lost, the sense of neighborhood and the physical roots of the community remain quite strong. OrloW The revitalization efforts of government and non-profit organizations , such as those erre named above, point to a brighter future towards the preservation of the West Settlers terms Historic District . Wire rile ,00 ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE 6:1470.4 We The West Settlers Historic District is mostly distinguished for its historical significance, not for its architectural significance . The structures which have survived the passage of time , ravages of storms and lack of maintenance for the most part reflect the simple , modest means of its builders and residents. There is, however, a good cross section of 10 architectural styles, materials and construction methods representative of more than a • century since the community was established. The earliest and most prevalent building type found are the Frame Vernacular houses , with pier foundations, wood siding and low to medium pitch gable roofs generally covered in composition shingles . The use of front porches is one of the most common . threads among these early houses . Some of the early vernacular structures were later built in or modified to include Bungalow details, especially incorporating the two-part battered porch supports characteristic of this building type . :le ago '.` x r c ' 120 N.

PERIOD OF SIGNIFICANCE S. gra One of the objectives of the Delray Beach "Resurvey of Four Local Register Historic Districts" project is to assess the feasibility of expanding the current Period of Significance . Structures thirty five (35 ) years or older will be recorded in the Florida Master Site File , so that the information contained in the State ' s database will be not only gra current but actually ahead of the 50 threshold for historic consideration. This does not IIPJIP mean that structures that are 35 to 50 years old will automatically be deemed fre contributing, but rather they will be reviewed on a case -by-case basis for possible eligibility. Vera The West Settlers Historic District Designation Report, approved in 1997 , places the Vie Period of Significance by which structures are to be evaluated at 1947 .The cut-off date is based in the generally accepted 50 year old threshold for considering eligibility of - structures for listing as "contributing" within a designated historic district . In terms of historical and architectural development, it is difficult to justify this date under any other criteria than the 50 year threshold. The 1950s through the 1970s were a significant period in history in the community. The _ \ post World War II era saw a marked population increase in Delray Beach , and a resulting 13 • fi II iihe Y I wo toe Ihe (( I expansion in business and tourism . While the 1950s period of segregation isolated this neighborhood from the rest of the city, it solidified the community and made it stronger (fla from within. The brief history of the La France Hotel , as previously recounted, is proof of I I the importance of these years in the development of the West Settlers Historic District . � The hotel became the center of social life for the local community and attracted visiting professionals and entertainers who found a welcome "home away from home" . The (( II concentration of business, social , religious and educational activities that was forced to Si remain within the neighborhood limits had a positive effect in the economics of the area . This is evidenced in much of the housing stock from this period, when more substantial tiestructures, such as the previously mentioned Patrick and Vickers family residences were killsbuilt. 411C01. With the end of the segregation era in the 1970s residents from the West Settlers area lit* began moving out and shopping elsewhere . Commercial activity declined and the "� II neighborhood lost some of its earlier liveliness , although it continued as a strong center ( of life of the local African-American community. Palm Beach County schools were Cmish integrated in 1969 , marking the end of the segregation era, and providing our study with a tangible milestone to redefine the Period of Significance for the West Settlers Historic i District. k I Based on the above cited historical milestones, it is our recommendation to extend ( I the Period of Significance to 1970 . I it , I RE-EVALUATION OF CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES l I l I This report has updated and re-evaluated the "District Inventory" provided as part of the , 1997 Designation Report.

This re-evaluation was based on their historical significance and ongoing contribution to the community' s religious, educational and social life since the early days of pioneer settlement. eage The park located on N .W . 5th Avenue just south of the Mount Olive Church property has waMli been evaluated as "contributing" , due to its historical significance as the site of the first school , organized in 1895 . Masonic Lodge #275 , located at 85 N .W . 5th Avenue , has been evaluated as "non- ea. contributing" due to its 1978 date of construction, even though the organization is historically significant and has occupied the site since 1899 . 030 NATIONAL REGISTER ELIGIBILITY "IP The La France Hotel , at 140 N . W . 4th Avenue , is potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criteria A for its historical significance and great contribution to the community during the days of segregation. It would also be eligible under Criteria B for its association with the Patrick family. Although the building was recently enlarged by a substantial addition, the original portion of the structure was sympathetically rehabilitated and should be eligible in spite of the addition . The Spady House, at 170 N .W . 5th Avenue is also potentially eligible for National Register listing. Eligibility is based both on its historical significance under Criteria A and B , and on architectural significance under Criteria C as a unique example of the Mission Style, substantial size and prominence among the more modest structures during that period in the district . rfoi '"` It is recommended that both structures be nominated to the National Register of Historic Places. See tire The William Robinson House , at 317 N . W. 1st Street may be potentially eligible for National Register listing for its historical and architectural significance under Criteria A, B and C , but the substantial alterations it has undergone over the years may hinder its sore . .••F eligibility. pro► National Register Historic District nomination for the West Settlers Historic District is not recommended at this time due to the number of "non-contributing" structures within the local district boundaries . 000 15 r em ego i" tal• sw or FLORIDA MASTER SITE FILES f t ` Florida Master Site File forms have been updated for all "contributing" structures . New FMSF forms have been prepared for structures previously evaluated as "non- contributing" . gra * The following structures will be submitted for addition to the FMSF and new numbers will be requested for them : • Robinson ' s Packing House . 315 N .

Val SUMMARY RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the West Settlers Historic District local designation be amended to reflect the following : • Amend the Boundaries as proposed in the Boundaries Section, and shown on the "Historic District Map" in Appendix A . The City, however, may want to take into consideration retaining the present southwestern corner boundary in order to keep 17:0 review authority over future infill construction in that particular area . • Extend the Period of Significance to 1970 to coincide with the end of the R J segregation era in Delray Beach . • Amend the Inventory reflect the new updates on "Contributing" , "Non - ;it contributing" and "Demolished" structures as shown on the "List of Surveyed JIPH Resources" in Appendix B . • Prepare National Register Nomination Proposals for the La France Hotel and the Spady House . Were • Consider local historic designation or historic marker for the wall north of tole N.W . 4th Street that once defined the northern edge of where African-American lop families were allowed to live . _ ° The West Settlers Historic District is not particularly remarkable for containing structures 4000 of major architectural significance and its ratio of "contributing" to "non-contributing" structures is not very strong. The district ' s historical significance, though, is indisputable . �'. 16 400,0 The pride and identity of its present residents and those descendents of the pioneer 4,0 settlers is quite evident. 4,11 !' This is a neighborhood that speaks eloquently of its past, its struggles and its triumphs . Its ileale,se *w story needs to be told for future generations to never lose track of where it all started for them . This story needs to be told in written accounts, but most importantly through the preservation of the remaining physical fabric of the West Settler Historic District.

R. J . Heisenbottle Architects , P . A. wishes to thank all the individuals , agencies and organizations who assisted in the preparation of the Delray Beach Resurvey of Four Local Register Historic Districts Final Report . Our work would not have been possible in such a wide range of areas, both geographically and historically, in such a limited time period, without as much cooperation and assistance as we have received to complete this project . First, we want to thank the City of Delray Beach Planning and Zoning Department staff, under the leadership of Paul Dorling, for opening up their files and providing available information on an efficient, timely fashion. The day-to-day assistance of Amy Alvarez, Historic Preservation _ Planner, was most valuable and impressive . Ms . Alvarez was always there to answer questions as they came up , to facilitate access to City records as needed and to make the work seem so smooth and easy. _ - A most valuable source for information was Dorothy W . Patterson, Archivist at the Delray Beach " r Historical Society. Ms . Patterson ' s vast knowledge of local history, well kept files and always friendly and helpful disposition saved us hours of work and made the historical research portion _ of the work easier and more enjoyable . Another individual we must recognize and thank for her tremendous contribution to this project is Charlene Farrington at the Spady Cultural Heritage Museum, under Expanding & Preserving _ Our Cultural Heritage , Inc . (EPOCH) . Ms . Farrington provided great information, photographs and personal insights into the history of the West Settlers Historic District and its residents . c = - At the Florida Department of State level , Lindsay Hafford and Celeste Ivory, both at the Bureau _ of Historic Preservation, were enormously helpful, providing us access to the Florida Master Site c Files and facilitating our efforts to navigate the on-line SmartForm II system . c = - Finally, we must thank the owners and residents of the Nassau Park, Old School Square , West Settlers and Del-Ida Park Historic Districts respectively. Their patience , understanding and hospitality as we spent countless hours driving up and down their streets, photographing their houses, while trying to cause as little disruption and intrusion into their lives and neighborhoods as possible , are most commendable and appreciated . It has been our intent to look at the historical resources contained within these four areas of Delray Beach and evaluate them in terms of historical and architectural significance . Based on gathered visual information and historical research, we are making recommendations to City staff which should lead to a better understanding and appreciation of the cultural heritage of the ,� . city and should help in future planning efforts to protect and preserve the city' s cultural resources . In assessing and evaluating this data, we have arrived at conclusions " 4 S 4 4 and recommendations based on our best professional opinion, which may not necessarily be in tune with the opinions of the City of Delray Beach staff, its elected officials , residents or property owners . We sincerely hope that all involved understand and accept this report as representing those professional opinions and assessments as our own, for the use , interpretation and benefit of the City of Delray Beach in formulating their own plans regarding the future of - their past . H All funding for the "City of Delray Beach Resurvey of Four Local Register Historic Districts" project has been made possible by the City of Delray Beach . No funds from State or Federal programs or sources have been provided for this project . The project, nonetheless , is in full compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 , Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 , and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 , as _ amended, under which the U .

C . 20013 -7127 . a " 5 r rI INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE _ The historical and architectural development of Delray Beach is typical of many of the South -F Florida coastal communities as we know them today : • Settlement in the late nineteenth to early twentieth century, ( - • Mid- 1920s real estate boom, with residential developments based on "theme" = architectural styles, many inspired by the Spanish influenced buildings of California, Mexico and the Mediterranean coasts, • Great Depression-related construction activity slowdown during the 1930s and 1940s , ( • Post World War II resurgence in development during the 1950s and 1960s, sporting new, ( _ unique, affordable , architectural typology catering to the influx of residents after the war, • Followed by development pressure to replace the older, small scale original building stock with larger, multistory, multifamily units beginning in the late 1960s well into the turn of the twenty first century, • A newly acquired grassroots consciousness of the local cultural heritage beginning in the - 1970s, rising partly as a reaction against the sometimes thoughtless overdevelopment in our communities , partly a national trend spearheaded by federal legislation such as the b 4" 1966 Historic Preservation Act . Oversimplified historical overview as this may be , it is nevertheless a fairly accurate condensation of nearly a century of development in South Florida and more specifically in Delray Beach. The first concentrated effort towards identification and protection of historical resources in Delray Beach goes back to 1981 , when Sanford H . Smith conducted a preliminary historic sites survey for the Palm Beach Historic Preservation Board, which identified 12 sites of historical , architectural and archeological significance , and prepared Florida Master Site File forms for - these identified resources . A second more comprehensive Delray Beach Historic Sites Survey was completed in 1987 by John P . Johnson for the Historic Palm Beach County Preservation Board, through a grant from the State of Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources , Bureau of Historic • Preservation. This survey identified structures built prior to 1943 and provided the groundwork towards the implementation of a historic preservation program, resulting in the drafting and approval of the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Ordinance in 1987 . Based on the findings of the 1987 historic sites survey and on the adoption of the Historic Preservation Ordinance that same year, the City of Delray Beach placed three of the historic districts that comprise this report on the Local Register of Historic Places in 1988 , namely the Nassau Park, the Old School Square and the Del-Ida Park Historic Districts . The Period of Significance for all three historic districts extended to 1943 . The fourth historic district that T - forms part of this report, the West Settlers Historic District, was placed on the Local Register of Historic Districts in 1997 . Its Period of Significance extended to 1947 . • IP • 6 In 1999 , Janus Research completed the "Delray Beach Historic Resources Survey Phase I" , which expanded the scope of the 1987 survey and provided a city-wide developmental history sketch . In 2002 , Janus Research completed the "Delray Beach Historic Resources Survey Phase II" , which extended the Period of Significance cut-off date from 1943 in the Johnson Survey Report to 1955 . Both of these surveys, funded by Survey and Planning grants-in-aid from the _ Florida Bureau of Historic Preservation, allowed Janus Research to study and identify significant cultural resources during the early part of the post war era in Delray Beach . By 2007 , the City of Delray Beach saw a need to provide a record for structures 35 years or older, expanding its historic resource inventory from the previous 1955 cut-off date in order to improve their database and increase its usefulness as a planning tool . This forward thinking move was also very much in keeping with the national trend and emphasis in the identification and recognition of mid-century design and architecture . To that end, the City put out a Request for Proposals to prepare survey update for the Marina Park Historic District and another RFP to resurvey the Nassau Park, Old School Square , West Settlers and Del-Ida Park Historic Districts . In July, 2008 , R.J. Heisenbottle Architects, P.A . was selected to prepare the resurvey of the latter of the two projects . I II 1 _ 1 - 7 r ge op Ii i' I ( _ METHODOLOGY As part of the methodology and tasks involved in this project, R.J. H.A . has prepared four ( separate Historic District Survey Reports, each containing the following information: t • Historical overview of the district . • Review existing criteria for determining contributing and non-contributing structures . ( I • Recommendations on extending Periods of Significance , where appropriate , within the - district . • Update Florida Master Site File forms for previously recorded structures . _ • Prepare new Florida Master Site File forms for previously unrecorded structures ( I • Prepare maps and photographs for all sites within the district . =II = _ ;o The resurvey of the four historic districts was conducted first by gathering general information relevant to all four historic districts in the following steps : • Collect, copy and review existing data on each of the four historic districts, including Florida Master Site File forms available on file at the Planning and Zoning Department. _ • Conduct preliminary research on Delray Beach general history from books, photographs , newspaper articles and magazines, mostly located at the Delray Beach Historical Society i and other historical organizations . _ - • Gather, copy and review historical maps and photographs of all four historic districts . _ • Gather, copy and review existing City records such as Building Cards and Property Appraisers information on the four historic districts . _ • Gather and review previously conducted historic survey reports , such as those prepared by John Johnson, GAI Consultants and Janus Research . • Contact the State ' s Bureau of Historic Preservation to gain access to the Florida Master Site File existing records and to the SmartForm II Program to be able to prepare updates and new forms . The next phase was to conduct the necessary resurvey of each individual historic district as follows : • Conduct field survey work to update existing information on previously recorded sites, identifying additions , alterations or demolitions that may have taken place since the time I of the last survey and to identify previously unrecorded sites 35 years and older that may be deemed as "contributing" and that should be added to the existing inventory. • Photograph all sites, both previously recorded and new, to be included as part of the surveyed resources. I I • Conduct historical research utilizing Planning and Zoning Department records , such as Building Cards , Sanborn Insurance maps, and other available sources such as 8 10 • Delray Beach Historical Society' s historical and photographic records for sites, both previously recorded and new , to be included as part of the surveyed resources . • Prepare Florida Master Site File forms using the SmartForm II Program, updating previously recorded sites and completing forms for newly identified sites to be submitted to Delray Beach Planning and Zoning Department and to the Florida Bureau of Historic Preservation . • Prepare updated historic district maps and USGS maps showing UTM coordinates for each of the sites included as part of the surveyed resources, to be submitted with the completed FMSF forms to the City and State offices . • Prepare photographic documentation in print and digital format for each of the sites identified as part of the surveyed resources, to be submitted with the completed FMSF forms to the City and State offices . • Prepare a list of sources , or Bibliography, to be included as part of the Survey Report . IIP- • Prepare Draft Historic District Survey Report of each individual district to be submitted with completed FMSF forms for review and comments . �_ • Make necessary corrections and modifications to draft reports, based on received comments , and resubmit Final Historic District Report . - The four historic districts were surveyed in the following order : _ • Nassau Park Historic District • Old School Square Historic District • West Settlers Historic District • Del-Ida Park Historic District Each Historic District Report contained sections on the following : • Boundaries • Context • Historical Significance • Architectural Significance • Period of Significance " • Re-evaluation of Contributing Structures - . • National Register Eligibility • Florida Master site Files 4� • Recommendations -;I • Bibliographical Sources ,I - - • Historic District Map • List of Surveyed Resources The final phase of the project consists of the preparation of the Final Report on all four historic districts, gathering the information, conclusions and recommendations contained on each of the _ - " four individual Historic Survey Reports . Once the Final Report has been reviewed and approved - ' by the City of Delray Beach, this report along b wh the four uubmitted individual the State Burealrvey u of Hisporic orts and the FMSF forms for all four districts will be Preservation for their files . 9 0 ( _ ( II ( 1 0 ( �i " HISTORICAL OVERVIEW ( ' _ 0 The historical development of Delray Beach begins with the construction of the Orange Grove ( 9 House of Refuge No . 3 in 1876 . The House of Refuge was one of nine such structures built along - the Florida east coast by the United States Life Saving Service to help shipwrecked sailors and to 111 _ serve as shelter for travelers venturing the difficult coastal region during early pioneering days . ( from Saginaw, The earliest settlement efforts date back to 1894 when William S . Linton,` ' - Michigan, with the help of his friend David Swinton, purchased 160 acres of land for $25 . 00 an It' acre in the area we know today as Delray Beach for the purpose of starting a settlement . Linton ' 1 ,. purchased the land from the origina� i n 1868or $ 1 Captain C725 an acre unde rge Gleason � the m JHomestead ksonville , Florida, who in turn had acquired he and _ _ Exemption Act. I - Mr. Linton, encouraged by the development opportunities that Henry M . Flagler ' s extension of �" - . the Florida East Coast Railway and his Model Land Company brought to the South Florida area, - started a settlement, along with a group he recruited in Michigan, recorded the town plat and _ named the town after himself But soon 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 same year of 1894 , a small group of African-American families from the Florida _ - Panhandle, led by Fagen Henry and his wife Jane , purchased land from Henry Flagler ' s Model , _ _ Land Company and settled in the area just to the west of the Linton settlement. That geographic location marks the origins of the name West Settlers Historic District, one of the four historic districts covered under this report . Soon these families began farming the land and by 1895 they - had harvested their first winter crop . The settlement grew , as more Americans of African descent 1. '' to buyland that could be cultivated for cash crops and by the opportunity � � were attracted by pp tY - �, 0 employment that the railroad and the nearby white settlement known as the Town of Linton - ;I► provided. The African American settlement firmly established itself during the early years of the _ twentieth century. Two churches , the Mount Olive Baptist Church and the St . Paul African _1 - Methodist Episcopal Church were organized, and the Free and Accepted Masonic Lodge 275 - III _ was established in 1899 . I0 Both the black and white settlements flourished as agricultural and fishing communities, aided 4 by the railroad that facilitated transport of crops to points north . Pineapples and tomatoes were 11 - big contributors to the early local economy. Delray 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 i. _' l - _ sported a float dressed up as a giant tomato . IIl ' ' The Old School Square Historic District covered under this report is testament to the settlement, -�l - - growth and rapid development periods of Delray Beach from the early years of the twentieth - _ century through the real estate boom years of the 1920s . By the turn-of-the-century, Delray, mostly located in present-day Old School Square Historic District, had a population of 150 . A _ - 10 - - if _ 1 I 0 post office , two schools, a general store and commissary were constructed. Three churches were organized, along with civic organizations such as the Ladies Improvement Association and the - Delray Masonic Lodge , and the first municipal cemetery was created . I lir Delray would not stay a sleepy agricultural and fishing village for long. The lure of the warm ir climate and beautiful beaches soon began to attract visitors to the town of Delray. In 1902 The Inn, run by the Chapman family, opened as the first building dedicated to hotel use . In 1911 , j "'r after the Bradshaw family relocated to Delray from their native Kentucky, they began renting IIIP rooms to fellow Kentuckians arriving to settle or to visit. Their house became known as the Kentucky House . By 1920 the Bradshaw family had expanded their operation to a full fledged _ hotel . Also in 1911 , the Town of Delray was incorporated and John Shaw Sundy was elected its first Mayor. The Sundy House , built in 1902 , still stands at 106 South Swinton Avenue and is - individually listed in the National Register of Historic Places . In 1912 the first bridge across the - East Coast Canal (now the Intracoastal Waterway) was constructed along Atlantic Avenue . During that same period, the first bank was organized, the first movie theater, the Bijou, opened and the first newspaper began circulation . Io 1 But it was the Real Estate Boom of the 1920s that had the most profound impact in turning _ { Delray into a resort town . In addition to the weather and beaches, improvements in road transportation, such as construction of the Dixie Highway , and no state or inheritance taxes made - kithe area increasingly more attractive to visitors and new residents alike . Eight new hotels, among __ - them the Alterep, later renamed the Colony, the Seacrest , and the Casa Del Rey, became destination places for visitors from 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 - were making Delray their winter home . Daily land auctions were held in a tent on Atlantic _ _ Avenue, and new commercial and residential structures were going up almost overnight . Prominent South Florida architects such as John Volk, Samuel Ogren, Sr. and Harvey and Clarke = p ; ► were leaving their mark in the local built environment with their Mediterranean Revival designs , , E the style "de rigueur" in the 1920s . 0► In 1927 the town of Delray and the town of Delray Beach merged and incorporated as the City 1 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 clubs , and commercial * establishments . Delray Beach clearly left its imprint on the Florida map during the 20s decade . : - 00 OP The end of the Real Estate Boom came much earlier than the beginning of the Stock Market _ Crash . Over-inflated real estate prices, shady dealers and swindlers, a railroad embargo on ' � to construction materials and devastating hurricanes in 1926 and 1928 burst the financial bubble in - jI Delray Beach and everywhere else across South Florida . Although the Stock Market Crash and the Great Depression were felt in Delray Beach like go 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 the very wealthy of - Palm Beach who may have been hardest hit by the Depression, but rather a group of cartoonists, _ II I 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 _ 11 ld lid r .ld 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 l _ construction. Two of the historic districts covered in this report, Del-Ida Park and Nassau Park, are excellent -' I - representatives of the early planned residential developments that started during the 1920s and t I _ 1930s decades , respectively. Both were highly successful, relying in a smaller scale building I. , " _ type , designed in the Mission style in Del-Ida Park, in a Bermuda inspired Cottage style in _+ 1 0 Nassau Park, rather than the more ornate and flamboyant Mediterranean Revival predecessors . 0 Delray Beach drastically changed its image during World War II from resort community to - 0II training grounds for the armed forces . Hotels and private clubs were occupied by the military, - 0 tourism and new construction came almost to a screeching halt and the industrial and agricultural _ development centered on a wartime economy. Many of the new residents during this time were I • families of military personnel stationed in the area . 1 P By the end of the war, many veterans who trained in South Florida, more specifically in the II _ P Delray Beach area, chose to resettle along with their families near the warm, sunny, sandy � � _ beaches which held fond memories for them during the difficult war years . The resulting housing _ II 0 shortage was quickly addressed through new construction that utilized the latest in fast , low cost, 0 efficient materials and technology. Many Ranch and Contemporary style houses filled in the _II _ _ gaps left earlier in the planned residential developments as a result of Depression and wartime 0 era interruptions in the construction industry. -; _ I - p The post war era also brought the specter of segregation and increased racism to communities i across the United States . Delray Beach was no less impacted than the rest of the nation, as I 010 Americans of African descent were restricted to live and shop within the boundaries of what is II ji now known as the West Settlers Historic District . Although a historically and sociologically - 0 devastating period for the African American community, it did have a positive economic impact II for the West Settlers neighborhood, as residential and commercial activity flourished in the area . II PIP =II # The La France Hotel, completed in 1949 , became the center of social and entertainment life for - the African American community during these difficult years . The hotel catered to a clientele of _ 'P performers and service industry workers who came to Delray Beach but were not allowed to stay I : w in purportedly "white" facilities . When entertainers finished performing for the evening, they 0 would gather at the La France, eating, drinking, playing cards and catching up with old friends (I - _ and new acquaintances . But the La France Hotel was more than a place to stay for African II T American visitors to Delray Beach . It was the site of parties , weddings and other social events "II for the community, and the Patrick family welcomed visitors and residents alike and made them feel like their "home away from home" , which became their motto . i ' The 1960s and 1970s brought another development surge to Delray Beach, as large corporations R - • such as IBM and Motorola built headquarter offices and manufacturing facilities in the - immediate area. This time, however, the population increase gravitated more toward the suburbs _ west of the center of town, much in keeping with the national trends of the times towards or suburban expansion. The results had a marked downward effect on the older residential and 0 • 12 commercial areas near downtown. Many residential properties went unsold and many of the - 1, commercial buildings along Atlantic Avenue were vacant, victims of the new suburban malls . 1P During the 1980s, the new national consciousness towards protecting and preserving the cultural heritage of the urban built environment filtered into Delray Beach. The City began taking steps to recognize , protect and preserve its historical resources . Historic sites surveys identified elements in the built environment worthy of preservation. The Historic Preservation Ordinance IF gave a mechanism through which to recognize and preserve the city' s historical resources . Individual historic sites and districts have been placed in the Local and National Registers of 11 - Historic Places . Zoning and some financial incentives through programs like the Community Revitalization Agency have been made available to owners of designated historic sites . a. IN The final tally is still untold, but community consciousness has been raised . Some historic buildings have been lost, but many have been rehabilitated and adapted to new uses . Residential historic districts are once again chic and convenient areas in which to live . The development pressures are great on the highly desirable real estate that many of the historic sites and districts - occupy, in close proximity to the commercial areas near downtown or within walking distance to the beautiful beaches which still constitute Delray Beach ' s number one attraction. But even in _ the new multistory structures going up near downtown there is a sense of human scale and sensitivity towards the immediate surroundings . a It is safe to say that the measures that the City of Delray Beach and particularly its Planning and Zoning Department have taken towards recognizing, protecting and preserving its historical sites - Oµ and districts are working. RJHA sincerely hopes that the results of this "Resurvey of Four Local Register Historic Districts" project serves as a useful planning tool in the City' s ongoing efforts towards the preservation of its significant historic and cultural resources . IR = - A 0 I - I !� 13 Ofr ilk irr iI OP e t - OVERVIEW OF LOCAL REGISTER STATUS 11i _ w As part of this project, RJHA had the opportunity to review the Planning and Zoning frl - Department ' s historic preservation files on the four historic districts under study. The files were well organized, easily accessible and fairly complete as far as containing Florida Master Site File Li _ forms . From what we were able to observe, most of the current site information, including Certificates of Appropriateness (COA) applications and any other recent transactions with property owners or other agencies , are being maintained on-line . We did not review this on-line - information as it was outside of our scope of work. to Sanborn Insurance maps were scanned and provided to us digitally. Property Control Numbers 0 (PCN) , from the Property Appraiser ' s Office, were readily available , easy to follow and most helpful in completing the Florida Master Site File forms ' required information . Building cards _ were for the most part easy to find, for the most part properly filed, but the information contained in the cards , generally dating as much as 40 to 50 years back, is not always complete or easy to follow . _ 0 We also had the opportunity to meet a considerable number of times during the course of the project with the City ' s Historic Preservation Planner . Without exception, Ms . Alvarez was always helpful, attentive and most knowledgeable . Her prompt replies to all questions, whether via e-mails or through phone calls was greatly appreciated. Although, as previously stated, we did not review COA applications , processing or approvals, it is clear from the quality of alterations and additions that are being approved and done within the four historic districts covered in this report that Ms . Alvarez and her immediate predecessors have been doing a fine job . There are several recommendations included in each of the four Historic District Survey Reports that should be incorporated as amendments to the original Designation Reports . Most important JP are the amendments to the Periods of Significance and the additions to the lists of Contributing I Structures . The four Historic District Survey Reports for Nassau Park, Old School Square , West Settlers and Del-Ida Park Historic Districts are attached herein and made part of this Final Report on the "Resurvey of Four Local Register Historic Districts" project, following the comprehensive Sources List for all four reports .

Heisenbottle Architects, P .A. (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 be to prepare individual Survey Reports for each of the four historic districts that will provide the following information : _ • Historical overview of the district • Review existing criteria for determining contributing and non-contributing structures • Recommendations on extending Periods of Significance , where appropriate , within the _ sir district -- - " • Update Florida Master Site File forms for previously recorded structures • Prepare new Florida Master Site File forms for previously unrecorded structures _ P. • Prepare maps and photographs for all sites within the district p c - i_ The survey will be conducted for all structures that are thirty-five ( 35 ) years or older . - p 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 _ is. for considering structures as contributing barely covered the original development period for Nassau Park ( 1935 - 1941 ) . This report will review and make recommendations whether there is { - Ir justification for extending the current Period of Significance as a tool for determining historical significance . Sir il' BOUNDARIES 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 sr 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 il 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 a area ' s density continues to increase with the construction of higher density, multi -family structures. :ram 17 4 _ I -a.. _ it - 1 . 1 1 I NASSAU PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT MAP ' PROPOSED CONTRIBUTING AND NON -CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES . t ' I PIP' i 1 1 • 1 I I .___ t ( I . _ _ . z DOVER HOUSE CONDO ILI I - 00 W OCEAN PLACE CONDO I COCONUT ROW — I i ARAM AVENUE Z PiI JARDIN DEL MAR Q ' - - I CONDO w - OUW< rWK6 OO la fWRC I_ --___�- ( I / - - I r 0.1 1 Z <019 < 7 OD. & WWI 5)_____ _ -._ Tj - ZOWzW7.

Its close proximity to the beach and to the downtown area of Delray 11 - � Beach has made this a highly desirable neighborhood since it was originally conceived in 1935 as the first planned residential development south of Atlantic Avenue . The increasing development pressure that surrounds the Nassau Park Historic District contributes to its present day desirability, steadily rising property values 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 . 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 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 without historic significance , it also points out - 0 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 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 c - __ older may be recorded in the Florida Master Site File , thus providing a "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 buildings within the district boundary, it is jo our recommendation that the Period of Significance should be extended up to 1964, the date c - - when the last of the single family residences in the Nassau Park Historic District was built. 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 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 or Atlantic Avenue or in the single family residential areas such as Nassau Street, buildings were i 0 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 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 the recommended 1964 cut-off date for the J Period of Significance and its impact on the Nassau Park neighborhood was nowhere to be found _ yet. - i IIP 'c 19 " � i " I I } Just 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 typology . eirer i' Although the few houses constructed between the 1950s and the 1960s may lean more towards p 4. 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 development that currently surrounds the Nassau Park _ Historic District further reinforces that the architectural and contextual significance of this I , - to compact, single-family residential area, is the result of the "tout ensemble" of structures - 0 contained within the district ' s boundaries, including those of later construction date . Therefore , all the single family residential units built in the two block stretch of Nassau Street between Li;_J 1930s and the 1960s are recommended to be considered as contributing structures to the Nassau z - II 4 Park Historic District . i i : : ' I ir HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE f The continuous period of settlement and development of Delray Beach traces back to 1894 when _ a Of 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 homesteaders . Mr. Linton, -" i encouraged by the development opportunities that Henry M . 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 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 = . - Jr 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 tomato . I wily The lure of the warm climate and beautiful beaches soon began to attract visitors to the 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 Jr rooms to fellow Kentuckians arriving to settle or to visit . Their house became known as the c 0 Kentucky House . By 1920 the Bradshaw family had expanded their operation to a full fledged - hotel . I bill?' But it was the real estate boom of the 1920s that had the most profound impact in turning Delray F into a resort town . Eight new hotels, among them the Alterep , later renamed the Colony, the _ - jr Seacrest, and the Casa Del Rey, became destination places for visitors from 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 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 clubs , and commercial establishments . Delray Beach -- °` clearly left its imprint on the Florida map during the 20s decade . _ - p - or - OP 20 - ; ' I i T' 1 _ • l ! .Il - Although the Stock Market Crash and the Great Depression were felt in Delray Beach like 11 elsewhere during the 1930s, the blow was lessened by the fact that the community had developed _ 1 a strong colony of winter residents who kept coming back. These were not the very wealthy of � II • 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 0 of fairly modest residential and commercial buildings . While Delray Beach was ranked 50th P population in Florida during the 1930s , it was also ranked 10`h in the state in new construction. 0 One of the areas that flourished during the 1930s was Nassau Park. Originally planed as Asbury Park Heights , it was renamed Nassau Park in 1935 by developer R. C . McNeil , 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 411, 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 1 - 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 ;P ad further proclaims "We will build to suit your own needs , charming Nassau cottages , designed i JF 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 I contracted to design the house at 234 South Ocean Boulevard which served as the model, it is c ,�' possible that Ogren Sr. may have been involved in the design of the other houses in the original development. Eighteen houses were built between 1935 and 1941 . Four additional houses were ,11 built after the initial planned development phase , two during the 1950s and two during the 1960s . Pc The original houses were simple cottages and have been described in the "Nassau Park Historic - 9 District Designation Report" as inspired by the Colonial-Cape Cod Revival Style ( See - Architectural Significance Section) . The Designation Report best describes Nassau Park as _ evoking "a memory of prosperity, pleasure , leisured relaxation and style which was the essence of 1930s life in Delray Beach" . 21 1 �'' , ,. _. _ . s .. _ -- 11 1 1 a - v i • • • Or I .

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 111. notable, having escaped after over seventy years since its creation with hardly any of the original S buildings being demolished or new intrusions being added . One of the original houses dating - back to 1935 , located at 234 South Ocean Boulevard, was demolished in 1988 to make room for a much larger multi-family residential structure . This action could have signaled the end of c " - Jr Nassau Park as a single family residential neighborhood by bringing about a domino effect of c = re 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 ipp- most of the small quaint cottages have undergone substantial rehabilitation by caring owners _ ,i who appreciate the historic value of their properties . This in turn has resulted in a marked - - r increase in property values for the neighborhood, which is still , or again, like in its heyday, one _ _ of the most desirable places to live in Delray Beach . S -- - 22 ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE 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 significance lies not in the - individual units but in the way they I come together to form a harmonious whole . Stylistically they seem most comfortably described - J as Cottages, although they have received more fanciful titles such as Colonial-Cape Cod Revival and 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 oxymoron. Perhaps a more accurate description may be found in the 1935 newspaper ad previously mentioned that refers to them as "Nassau cottages" .

Decoration is sparse, ( _ generally concentrated around doorways which sport classically inspired carved wood detailing ( described in the Designation Report as "Georgian or Adam doorways" . The wood frame houses ( are faced in horizontal weatherboards and many have corner boards as subtle decorative touches . II 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 -i story mass with a smaller one story wing or extension, thus breaking down the overall size of the structure . The five houses that were built subsequent to the original development for the most part - ' digressed from the Cottage style in favor of a more generic 1950s Ranch-inspired vernacular. ill _ 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 Jr significantly detracting from the visual character and intent of the original development. 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 jpr that softens the overall appearance of the new structure . In spite of stylistic variations, alterations and additions, the single family residences 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 materials and overall character. It is that sense of place that makes the Nassau Park Historic District special . This series of - r cottages are dearly 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 such as the Sundy House and the 4:1- 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 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, I" two-block-long stretch of the Nassau Park Historic District one steps back to one specific point in place and time- 1930s beachside residential resort living in Delray Beach at its finest. \ - I L - _ 24 - m. ri RECOMMENDATIONS 'e It is recommended that the Period of Significance for the Nassau Park Historic District be air Als extended to 1964 , to include the five additional structures built during the 1950s and 1960s i decades . When the district was originally designated in 1988 many of the 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 I architectural integrity. Only one of the original structures has been demolished and no new i - 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 1 subsequent to the original development are 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 111111 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" . - ,F When the Nassau Park Historic District was officially designated through Ordinance #97 -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 - Jr be recorded as "Nassau Park Historic District" . It is , therefore , 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 _ ir IF It 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 ; ly information on the developers, architects and original owners will be necessary to make the i 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 tp" time . _ 25 SOURCES "� • Florida Master Site Files .

INTRODUCTION ( - 111 9_ P .A. (RJHA) to in - The City of Delray Beach has retained the firm of R.J . Heisenbottle Architects, avo 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 District. RJHA' s task will be to prepare individual Survey 4 - Reports for each of the four historic districts . These survey reports will include the following tom' information: a ais . _ • Historical overview of the district. IIP • Review existing criteria for determining contributing and non-contributing structures . • Recommendations on extending Periods of Significance , where appropriate , within the " - ,. ip district. t -- - - jp • Update Florida Master Site File forms for previously recorded structures . - • Prepare new Florida Master Site File forms for previously unrecorded structures - i - • _ • Prepare maps and photographs for all sites within the district . jp _ ir To date , RJHA has completed work on the Nassau Park Historic District Historic Survey Report, submitted in final form on September 30, 2008 . This Historic Survey Report on the Old School " Square Historic District (OSSHD) will provide information on those items outlined above , based - l • , o on field work, research conducted on building permits and Sanborn map records available at the Delray Beach Planning and Zoning Department, and historical research conducted at the Delray __ Beach Historical Society. The first item identified above , "Historical overview of the district" ' will use the information previously contained in the GAI Consultants ' report prepared in 2005 , OP as reference , based on the following justification. __ I ` ha The City of Delray Beach contracted with GAI Consultants, Inc . in 2005 to conduct the Old 1 ! • 4sir School Square Historic Arts Resources Survey. The Final Report of that survey, dated June 30 , jr 2005 , defines the project ' s purpose as to record "all contributing and non-contributing buildings 11, and structures within the district boundary, to identify and update documentation on the -- Iarchitectural resources, and to evaluate or re -evaluate resources for individual eligibility and • I. eligibility as contributors to the historic district, for both local designation and National Register t - illy of Historic Places (NRHP) listing" . Given the relatively recent completion date of the 2005 GAI Report and the excellent and thorough quality of the documentation, research and writing _ II �r contained therein, it would be duplicative for our report to prepare new narratives for the • O historical and architectural development sections . Therefore , RJHA ' s OSSHD Historic Survey - 0 Report, will specifically cite Section 4 (Architectural Styles and Types) , and Section 5 (Historical - - Overview) of the GAI Consultants ' Final Report as reference rather than trying to rewrite the entire section. 32 . If OP 6 _ RJHA ' s Old School Square Historic District—Historic Survey Report will concentrate on an assessment and redefinition of the Period of Significance used for evaluating such structures . Based on this evaluation, on our field work and on our research of local records , our Report will present information and make recommendations on the following : PIP • Extending the Period of Significance for OSSHD . • Re-evaluating contributing and non-contributing structures . • Extending current OSSHD boundaries . lip • Nomination of individual structures within the district to the National Register of Historic Places . jp • Historic District nomination of OSSHD to the National Register of Historic Places . „1 In addition, we are providing the following updated information : j 1011 • A new " Historical Resources List" and "Map of Historical Resources" updating the 011. information contained in the 2005 GAI Consultants ' Final Report . - JP • New photographs of all structures surveyed within the district boundaries , submitted in _ •' disk format. _ • Existing Florida Master Site File forms updated to reflect any alterations, additions , relocations or demolitions within the district, and new forms prepared for structures previously unrecorded due to their more recent dates of construction, where applicable . us ir BOUNDARIES The Old School Square Historic District (OSSHD) comprises the oldest and some of the most , - threatened sections in the city of Delray Beach, due to its location in the heart of today' s downtown area. The district straddles Atlantic Avenue , the city' s "Main Street" , to the north and south . Its specific boundaries are : Lake Ida Road and N . E . 4th Street to the north, N . E . and S . E . 1st Avenue to the east, S . E . and S . W . 2nd Street to the south, and S .E . and N . E . 1 Avenue to the s west (See District Map) . Based on visual inspection of the district boundaries , it becomes difficult to ascertain or justify -. the present southern terminus for the district along South Swinton Avenue . There are no physical changes, whether natural or man-made , defining the southern boundary of the district and the ft building stock does not change significantly once one crosses that imaginary line . This is _ particularly evident along South Swinton Avenue , where one is hard pressed to find a difference r '' in the neighborhood fabric between the 100 block and the 200 or 300 blocks . Along S .W . 1 st Avenue, however, a higher number of non-contributing structures mixed in with the contributing -1). structures may be discerned south of S . W . 2nd Street, while S . E . 1st Avenue has significantly lost _ its contributing building stock beyond the current southern district boundary. • • • • 33 lb- It is our recommendation that the City of Delray Beach consider extending the boundary of - OSSHD beyond its present S .W. 2 " Street southern limit to S.W . 4th Street. The City _ should also study the same two block southern extension along S .W. 1st Avenue, although the justification does not appear to be as strong as for S. Swinton Avenue. CONTEXT - OSSHD , designated as a Local Register Historic District in 1988 , contains the earliest standing and some of the most recently constructed structures in the city of Delray Beach . Rather than a homogeneous area in its chronology or architectural typology, OSSHD presents a glimpse of the . historical continuum of the community. Within its boundaries are found buildings from every decade since the 1890s , and from a wide array of architectural styles , including vernacular structures, Queen Anne and Bahamian influenced ones , Bungalows, Mission, Mediterranean I Revival, Art Deco/Moderne , Minimal Traditional , and even some International Style inspired structures . Their uses throughout the years have included residential, commercial , offices, a 01 institutional , religious , governmental, recreational , educational and cultural functions . It is this - Fr layering and variety of building types and uses that provide the basis for the district ' s significance . fi o Today many of the early residential structures have been converted to light commercial and _ office uses, thus affording them an opportunity to survive amidst the development pressures of their current urban environment. The newly found niche of these historical resources within a t PP modem context has also brought about a renaissance for many of them, as their conversion to - :� commercial and office uses have brought along substantial rehabilitation, for the most part sympathetic , of their historic fabric . c - , - - 0 PERIOD OF SIGNIFICANCE c - 7 One of the objectives of the Delray Beach "Resurvey of Four Local Register Historic Districts'.' c _ E - . project is to assess the feasibility of expanding the current Period of Significance when _ _ considering eligibility of structures for listing as "contributing" within the designated historic 411, district. Structures thirty five (35 ) years or older will be recorded in the Florida Master Site File , - ,P so that the information contained in the State ' s database will be not only current but actually _ - ahead of the generally accepted 50 year threshold for historic consideration . This does not mean c a - that structures that are 35 to 50 years old will automatically be deemed contributing, but rather ;N P they will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis for possible eligibility. • _ = — PP s. _ — iiiir In observing the development patterns of the Old School Square Historic District it becomes _ - 0 apparent that there is a construction gap between the 1960s and 1990s when few if any new - structures were built within the district . The attached "List of Surveyed Resources" shows the r - AO date of construction of the most recent structures coming under the purview of this report to be _ - 0 around 1955 , which indicates the surge in construction activity immediately following the end of World War II. Field inspection of the district did not identify additional structures being built I": - between 1955 and the mid 1990s to the early part of the 2000 decade . Existing structures did 34 VI I ' ' -11-11 ( ' ( undergo alterations and in some cases additions, but the level of construction activity was relatively low during this period. This reflects the general development trend of most ( ! - communities at this time , when the post World War II development movement was away from ( the city' s center and into the suburbs . Thus development activity in OSSHD ' s residential ( M 1P enclaves, located in the heart of the city and dating as far back as the turn of the twentieth " century, languished during the latter part of the century. This shift is clearly attributable to a new influx from corporate headquarters and manufacturing facilities that relocated to Delray Beach in the 1960s and 1970s , and made their homes in the new suburban residential developments to the I west . air The currently established Period of Significance for OSSHD extends to 1945 , just at the end of World War II. In terms of historical and architectural development, it is difficult to justify this date (other than the fact that at the time it was established, it was based on the 50 year threshold 111, for determining historical significance) since it ignores the construction surge that followed the post-war years . The GAI Consultants ' 2005 Final Report identified 23 new structures built between 1945 and 1955 . This is not counting alterations to existing structures and other " eis construction activities during the same post-war time years . Based on the number of structures ori built within that time period, extending the present Period of Significance to 1960 would cover new construction and alterations that will be 50 years old in less than 2 years from the date of this study, namely in 2010 . It therefore seems appropriate to extend the Period of Significance an additional 5 years , to 1965 , in order to provide a comfortable margin to include any construction IiIP activity, including alterations or additions that will acquire the 50 threshold using this time frame . I e Based on the above information , it is our recommendation to extend the Period of Significance to 1965 . I = = RE-EVALUATION OF CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES o _ This report has updated and re -evaluated the "List of Surveyed Resources" presented in 2005 as part of the GAI Consultants ' Report, based on our recommendation to extend the Period of Significance to 1965 . Of the 144 structures originally listed within OSSHD in the 2005 Report, _ 52 were identified as individually eligible for Local Register listing. Since these structures are already locally designated within OSSHD, our approach was to identify structures as either = = - "Contributing" or "Non-Contributing" within the district, rather evaluating them for individual �► eligibility. 1 4.f - ; F The findings of our study reveal the following salient points : 411, • 122 structures have been identified as "Contributing" to the district . • 15 structures have been identified as "Non-Contributing" to the district . • 6 structures have been demolished since the time of the 2005 GAI Consultants Report ( See attached List of Surveyed Resources for identification) . • A total of 17 structures previously listed on the FMSF have been demolished . • 2 structures , currently located at 114 N . E . 1 Avenue , were moved into the district from its original location at 350-362 N . E . 5 Avenue . P r 35 • p _ E I f t I _ f i • 1 structure , currently located at 111 N . Swinton Avenue , was moved into the district t - from its original location at 124 N .E . 5 Avenue . - • No previously unrecorded structures 35 years or older that would be eligible for 1 inclusion in the Florida Master Site File were identified within the district . 1 NATIONAL REGISTER ELIGIBILITY rf I The Old School Square Historic District is potentially eligible for nomination to the National - -- 1 Register of Historic Places as an historic district. There are also a number of structures - potentially eligible for individual National Register listing, previously identified in the GAI . Consultants ' Report . However, the current level of research and documentation would not be F sufficient to carry forth successful district or individual nominations . Association with the lives - :O of persons significant to our past at the local, state or national level is identified under Criterion ` B for National Register listing. Additional research is needed to substantiate historical AI significance under this criterion. Similarly, additional documentation is needed to identify the 7 architects who designed those buildings in order to justify listing under Criterion C for -1 ide architectural significance . iven the limited amount of information readily available on individual structures , it is difficult to ormake an accurate assessment or recommendation on potential eligibility for individual National _ Register listings at this time . Any current eligibility assessment is mostly based on date of dr construction and visual architectural significance . - it It is recommended that the City of Delray Beach consider funding a project to undertake _ the necessary research and documentation leading to the preparation of a National Register historic district nomination proposal for OSSHD, or to nominating additional individual properties for National Register listing. 1 r/ FLORIDA MASTER SITE FILES d _ 1 _ op Existing information on the FMSF forms has been updated to reflect alterations, relocations, _ additions or demolitions to previously recorded structures . These updates have been provided as orannotations to existing local files containing FMSF forms and not officially entered as updates to = - - sir the State forms . Likewise , existing " Surveyor ' s Evaluation of Site" categories in the FMSF form , identifying Sr potential eligibility for local or National Register listing has been updated based on our — - recommendation to extend the date of the Period of Significance and on the fact that many of the _ structures have acquired the generally accepted 50 year significance threshold since the time the j i initial FMSF forms were prepared and evaluated . ! " OP 0 A total of 17 structures previously recorded on the FMSF, on file at the City ' s Planning and AO Zoning Department, have been demolished . Those FMSF forms have been annotated to show the .�»� structures ' demolition and will be reincorporated into the City ' s files . 40101 _ - 36 _ -` toe II - I ` CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 0 The field work conducted while undertaking the resurvey of the Old School Square Historic District has shed some interesting light on the dynamics and impact of historic district designation on one of Delray Beach ' s oldest, most architecturally diverse and most attractive , areas for new development : IP SP • The number of demolished structures has been relatively low , considering the • development pressure on the area . i w is • The alterations and additions have been for the most part sympathetic , a credit to the ` -- -it City' s staff in enforcing the regulatory process contained in the ordinance that designated - ,.F� OSSHD as an historic district . ` __ _' • The rehabilitation and reuse of historic structures within the district are a credit to the ''� City' s foresight in using historic district designation and zoning overlays as tools to ` = ! #401 accomplish historic preservation goals . 41 1. 10 • The overall image of the today ' s emerging Delray Beach is one of compatibility and r sensitivity in scale and design between the old and the new . The consciousness and - controls that historic district designation have brought about in the midst of such evident development pressures are admirable efforts . JrIn summary, we offer the following recommendations as part of this OSSHD Report : ir • The City of Delray Beach should extend the Period of Significance for OSSHD to 1965 . This will include the structures built during the period of construction activity following the post World War II era . or JP • The City of Delray Beach should consider extending the boundary of OSSHD beyond its present S . W . 2nd Street southern limit to S .W . 4th Street along South Swinton Avenue . The City should also study the same two block southern extension along S . W . 1st ,i,- Avenue , although the justification does not appear to be as strong as for South Swinton OP Avenue . sr • The GAI Consultants ' Report of 2005 recommended certain boundary adjustments for a possible National Register historic district nomination to exclude empty lots and new construction along the east side of N . W. and S . W . Pt Avenue and the parking lot directly east of the Old School Square complex along N . E . 1st Avenue . We concur with the recommendation to exclude the new construction intrusions along N . W. and S . W . 1st Jr Avenue , since this redrawing of boundaries strengthens the density of contributing __ . ". Or structures within the district. However, we believe that if the recommendation is extended _ to the local district designation to exclude empty lots at the northwest corner of the ` district along the 200 block of N .W . 1st Avenue and the parking lot east of Old School - ,r Square complex, this would need further review and consideration. While the same as argument can be made that these reductions in boundaries strengthen the density of contributing structures , it is nonetheless beneficial at the local level to be able to have 37 �, 171 some control and review over future infill construction in these lots, since visually the continuity or lack thereof remains the same whether the boundary is modified or not.The Old School Square Historic District at first blush appears to have sufficient historical and architectural significance to be potentially eligible for historic district nomination to the National Register of Historic Places . Similarly, there are a number of structures that IPappear potentially eligible for individual nomination to the National Register. • The City of Delray Beach should consider funding a project to undertake the necessary research and documentation leading to the preparation of a National Register historic district nomination proposal for OSSHD, or to nominating additional individual 1 properties for National Register listing .

Heisenbottle Architects , P .A. (RJHA) to resurvey four areas within the city previously listed on the Local Register of Historic JPlaces as Historic Districts . The four areas to be studied are Del-Ida Park, Nassau Park, Old - .) a School Square , and West Settlers Historic District . RJHA' s task will be to prepare individual - 3 '�� Survey Reports for each of the four historic districts . These survey reports will include the a,/ry following information: • overview of the district . Historical _ � ` • Review existing criteria for determining contributing and non-contributing structures . cippr • Recommendations on extending Periods of Significance , where appropriate , within - the district . • Update Florida Master Site File forms for previously recorded structures . • Prepare new Florida Master Site File forms for previously unrecorded structures w • Prepare maps and photographs for all sites within the district. _ - er .. - ars These surveys are reviewing all structures located within the locally designated historic districts that are thirty five (35 ) years or older. Information on structures currently listed is - . being updated, noting any alterations, relocations and demolitions since the time that the - -�* Designation Report was originally prepared. Structures not previously listed, that meet the 35 - _ - year or older criteria and that are deemed "contributing" to the historic district, are being I added to the Florida Master Site File and are being recommended for inclusion in the Local . Sii Register of Historic Places ' Historic District Designation Report . To date , RJHA has completed work on the Nassau Park Historic District and on the Old • 4. School Square Historic Arts District . The West Settlers Historic District Survey Report will • ., provide information on those items outlined above, based on field work, research conducted _ • on City records, including building cards and permits, Sanborn map records available at the Delray Beach Planning and Zoning Department, existing historical publications and on • historical research conducted at the Delray Beach Historical Society. ,�! iir I lir The West Settlers Historic District was listed on the Local Register of Historic Places in 1997 . As the Designation Report states, " . . . the district should be assessed for its historical significance which perhaps weighs more heavily than its architectural importance" . It would • � be fair to say that although, as the Designation Report goes on to say, " . . . many of the structures rank low in the history of architectural achievement" , the ger 50 r - - r `- .-11 w T y 1 buildings do comprise a good representative cross section of the architectural types found - = within the area in general , and present a good timeline of the historical development of this early African American settlement in Delray Beach . Many of the significant historic structures have perished in recent years , victims of development and of demolition-by- �r neglect, some even after the historic district designation was put in place . These losses to the = bie" visual and historical fabric of the neighborhood further reinforce the significance of the 7- remaining ones , even when their numbers continue to diminish . - BOUNDARIES (See Attachment A : Historic District Map) - D - - The West Settlers Historic District boundaries, as designated in 1997 , are as follows : __ : - • Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard (N . W. 2nd Street) to the north, then, OPP • The alley running north- south in Block 43 , between N . W . 2nd and 3rd Avenues, then, • N .W. 1st Street, running west from said alley in Block 43 , to N .W . 3rd Avenue , then, - • N .W . 31-d Avenue, running south to east-west alley between N .W . lst Street and - Atlantic Avenue , then, ti i" - • The east-west alley between N .W . 1st Street and Atlantic Avenue as the southern 1 boundary, then, - �► • N . W . 5th Avenue running north to the south property line of Lot 13 , Block 20 , then, - ill," • The south property line of Lot 13 , Block 20 to the alley running north- south between . OF N.W . 5th and 6th Avenues, then, • The alley running north-south between N .W . 5th and 6th Avenues northerly to Martin __ r_ orLuther King, Jr. Boulevard (N .W . 2nd Street) . s NEW BOUNDARY RECOMMENDATIONS ( See Attachment A) - The historic district ' s southern boundary has undergone significant erosion of its historic tor fabric to merit justifiable inclusion within the current boundary delineation. The southeastern-most block was already vacant at the time of designation. Although sometimes __ vacant property may be included within district boundaries as a mechanism to allow for II to review of future infill construction, in this case that block has already been developed and is it sksp currently occupied by the Atlantic Grove Townhouses . Similarly, the southwest corner of the - r district, on the west side of N . W . 5th Avenue between Atlantic Avenue and N . W . 1st Street, I ` _ immediately north of the Fire Station, contains only vacant land and non-contributing 1 I . structures . Removing this corner from the district boundaries increases the overall density of I . - contributing structures within the redefined boundaries . In this particular case , though, the .• Elie City may want to retain this corner within the district in order to have review authority over 1i r new infill construction. I 51 �. .. . . y li ._ - Or - _ - -� ii, The original northern physical boundary was defined during segregation days in the 1950s by - the construction of a wall that separated the black and white residential areas just to the north ,�-� of present day Lake-Ida Road (N . W . 4th Street) . This wall is still in evidence at the northern - i/� edge of Boy Scouts Park, on the north side of Lake-Ida Road . As part of preparing this - - _-_, P;p report , RJHA studied the possibility of expanding the northern boundary of the West Settlers Historic District to this historic edge . Although there are several contributing structures .._ . -:, Vp located within this potential expansion area, their number and density is not sufficient to __ - 17 justify the district ' s expansion. In fact, the ratio of contributing to non-contributing structures _ 7 would be low enough that it would hurt the overall integrity of the district as presently designated. _ - re The presence of the wall, unsavory as it may be , is a strong reminder of a historical period in the development of the West Settlers Historic District, and should be memorialized either through historic designation or through placement of a historical marker. sae • - OP .i•-• ....4.- 41 1 . &tat •-.-- ---z - . :\ -SS 1. .7k 461.

V" Originally it was the site of an early African-American settlement that rivaled the early days I of the town of Linton in the resourcefulness of its residents in getting an agricultural industry, R along with a public school, religious and social institutions established. It included a series of le neighborhoods named after physical characteristics of their respective areas , such as The _- _ Sands and Frog Alley (See Historical Significance below) . During the segregation days of the I _ eiw 1950s, its boundaries were more lir ' I, - It L _ 52 1 ` Preil - t . , clearly defined, tas its residents were not allowed to live or shop east of Swinton Avenue or - ...e'"�' north of N . W. 4 Street . - After segregation, many of the early housing stock and businesses fell into decline , as the residents were able to move about anywhere within the city limits . The neighborhood, ast however, never lost its identity or its cohesiveness, as new apartment buildings went up , and _ the old commercial establishments such as grocery stores , barber shops and other "ma-n-pa" operations continued to provide basic services and livelihood to the residents . HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE It was 1894 when a confluence of factors resulted in the establishment of both the black and white settlements that eventually would become Delray Beach . That year, William S . Linton, U . S . Congressman from Saginaw, Michigan , purchased 160 acres of land in the area we .,. - know today as Delray Beach from the original homesteader, Captain George Gleason . Mr. _ _ Linton, encouraged by the development opportunities that Henry M . Flagler ' s extension of the Florida East Coast Railway and his Model Land Company brought to the South Florida area, started a settlement, along with a group he recruited in Michigan, recorded the town plat 0 - and named the town after himself But soon 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, _ r Or after a section in his hometown of Detroit, Michigan . During the same year of 1894 , a small group of African-American families from the Florida Panhandle , led by Fagen Henry and his wife Jane , purchased land from Henry Flagler ' s - vOirModel Land Company and settled in the area just to the west of the Linton settlement . That I geographic location marks the origins of the name West Settlers Historic District . Soon these I 11 . families began farming the land and by 1895 they had harvested their first winter crop . The n ,r settlement grew, as more Americans of African descent were attracted by the opportunity to - " buy land that could be cultivated for cash crops and by employment that the railroad and the th - vir nearby white settlement known as the Town of Linton provided. Different neighborhoods arose—the Sands in the Central area, Frog Alley, Red Line and Hanna Town among them . Along with the expansion of the settlement came a growth in educational , religious and lir social institutions . In 1895 the settlers petitioned the County School Board to establish a school for their children. The site of the original school house has been memorialized by a i small park, located at N .W. 5th Avenue between Atlantic Avenue and N .W. Pt Street, and is Sr listed in the Local Register of Historic Places . I - Fse In 1896 the Mount Olive Baptist Church congregation purchased land from the Model Land - SOF Company' s land set-aside program for cultural and religious organizations for $ 1 . 25 and '' began construction of their first church . Although the original church no longer lir `!p tie iillfr L 53 I m. .r .1 '" stands , the congregation built a new facility in 1957 , which has been renovated and expanded over the years . The present day church retains its original location at 40 N . W . 4` Avenue . a .

By 1904 he had built his own house on the property, currently at 317 N .W. 1st Street and had acquired additional farm land west of town. His - knowledge of farming and house building both continued to grow . He was asked to build houses for neighbors, while he expanded and improved his own home . His house , in fact, • was the first one in the community to have electricity and running water, and later a - telephone . In the 1920s he enlarged a room in the northwest corner of the house and _ - - converted it into a grocery store , which he and his wife Essie ran . The Robinson house was ii .._ _ an important center for social life in the community, and because of its sturdy construction, served as a Red Cross shelter during hurricanes . In 1916 he built a packing house to serve his farming business adjacent to his house . Located at 315 N . W .

IIi • 56 I `11 - IP - IIIW MO Charles William Patrick, Jr . and his wife Francenia were among the most prominent, best loved figures in the Delray Beach African-American community. Together they owned and - operated the La France Hotel , the only hotel in Delray Beach catering to blacks, during the segregation years when African-Americans were not allowed in any of the local hotels . Charlie , as he was popularly known, was born in Social Circle , Georgia, sometime between a p_ 7 1908 and 1910 , according to varying family recollections , to a family of farm hands, r descendants of slaves . In the early1920s Charlie moved to the Boynton Beach area in _ 0 Florida . In 1925 , at the height of the Florida real estate boom, the rest of his family joined `� him and they settled in Boynton Beach, a predominantly rural area at the time, pretty much similar to the one they had left behind in Georgia . Charlie was kind and loving, according to - . family accounts, and helped the family members , including his parents and nine siblings to find jobs in the area. By 1926 , when Charlie was just 17 years old, he married his first wife , 1 krEva Collins and soon after set up his own dry cleaning business in Boynton Beach . A year irlipp later his mother died, and it was up to him and his father to care for the rest of the children, - - all under age 14 . VP _. e - 40 By the 1930s , during the height of the Great Depression, Charlie had divorced his first wife , a fallen in love and remarried to Francenia (Frankie) Johnson, an elementary school teacher ramp and recent college graduate from Bethune-Cookman in Daytona Beach . Charlie in the meantime, continued to struggle , running a beer hall at night and driving a school bus during prat the day. In 1943 he enlisted in the army and served during World War II. Upon his return, he »r decided to build a hotel to cater to African-American waiters, chauffers and others in the - service industry who came to Delray Beach and were not allowed to stay in segregated - ISOFhotels . Charlie and Frankie bought three lots in Delray Beach for $ 1 , 700 , and began work on *is_ their new venture . 11 or - `-�! I. l * . • *. Tt - La France Hotel The 16-room La France Hotel , designed by locally prominent architect Kenneth Jacobson and built by contractor Jay Callaway, was completed in 1949 . Its name was derived from M - Frankie ' s cousin Lola ("La") Johnson and Francenia ("France") , not having 611.111 lir 57 • - .0 anything to do with the country of France , as most people believe . The hotel became a big success, as one of the few establishments in South Florida that welcomed an African- ` American clientele . During the 1950s and 1960s when traveling musicians and entertainers performed in South Florida, they were not allowed to stay at segregated hotels, but rather had - - to be either put up by local families, sleep on the beach and face possible arrest or get back p on the bus to their next destination . - The La France Hotel provided a major service to guests that included well known entertainers, professionals and many in the service industry. More than a place to stay, it was --Ipa a social center where entertainers gathered after they finished performing for the evening and would stay up until late eating, drinking, playing cards and catching up with old friends and - *Fp new acquaintances . It also served as a social center, hosting a variety of events through the rigs years . The contribution of Charlie and Frankie Patrick to the African- American community during - 's the difficult days of segregation is of major historical significance . As the hotel prospered, so _ _ did the Patrick family. Charlie Patrick owned a gas station, commercial and office buildings r and two pool halls in the neighborhood . During the post- segregation days of the 1970s , the hotel started a downward spiral . African- is Americans could now stay and shop where they chose and the clientele dwindled . The hotel became a rooming house and fell into disrepair. In 2005 the La France Hotel was restored and expanded . The new complex, now owned by the Community Redevelopment Agency, lir 4 has been returned to its former glory and now operates as apartments for senior citizens . " MV Today the area is a mixed bag of residential, commercial, religious and social activity, some of its buildings in disrepair, others recently restored or on their way back, thanks to the ,V involvement of programs such as Community Revitalization Agency (CRA) and to the commitment and dedication of organizations such as the Expanding & Preserving Our = P Cultural Heritage, Inc . (EPOCH) . Although many of the early structures have been lost, the _ _ sense of neighborhood and the physical roots of the community remain quite strong. The '"' revitalization efforts of government and non-profit organizations, such as those named above, a ► a point to a brighter future towards the preservation of the West Settlers Historic District. „ , Iir- 3 F _ a . «� ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE r or is. ' _ )40 The West Settlers Historic District is mostly distinguished for its historical significance , not �" '� for its architectural significance . The structures which have survived the passage of time, ravages of storms and lack of maintenance for the most part reflect the simple, modest means - Iblir of its builders and residents . There is , however, a good cross section of All - - • 41* kilor .,0'' 58 E . architectural styles, materials and construction methods representative of more than a century _ since the community was established . The earliest and most prevalent building type found are the Frame Vernacular houses, with pier foundations, wood siding and low to medium pitch gable roofs generally covered in - - composition shingles . The use of front porches is one of the most common threads among - these early houses . Some of the early vernacular structures were later built in or modified to include Bungalow details , especially incorporating the two-part battered porch supports - - characteristic of this building type . { y "la de d �t IO • Y Silt S Ili " 120 N.

The structure has the typical low-slung __ ' horizontal lines, low pitched gable roof and the garage which in this case opens to the side IR r and is decorated with perforated concrete blocks .

Structures thirty five (35 ) years or older will be recorded in the Florida Master Site File, so "OPP that the information contained in the State ' s database will be not only current but actually ahead of the 50 threshold for historic consideration . This does not mean that structures that are 35 to 50 years old will automatically be deemed contributing, but rather they will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis for possible eligibility. The West Settlers Historic District Designation Report, approved in 1997 , places the Period of Significance by which structures are to be evaluated at 1947 .The cut-off date is based in tar the generally accepted 50 year old threshold for considering eligibility of structures for listing as "contributing" within a designated historic district . In terms of historical and ., architectural development, it is difficult to justify this date under any other criteria than the %Or 50 year threshold. sti • The 1950s through the 1970s were a significant period in history in the community. The post " M World War II era saw a marked population increase in Delray Beach, and a resulting sirexpansion in business and tourism . While the 1950s period of segregation isolated this ► neighborhood from the rest of the city, it solidified the community and made it stronger from - w ND. War g -- . 61 I iv- Pfr v" -11 14. w i within. The brief history of the La France Hotel, as previously recounted, is proof of the - importance of these years in the development of the West Settlers Historic District. The hotel _ became the center of social life for the local community and attracted visiting professionals . and entertainers who found a welcome "home away from home" . The concentration of _ . business, social , religious and educational activities that was forced to remain within the - neighborhood limits had a positive effect in the economics of the area. This is evidenced in _ ` ' much of the housing stock from this period, when more substantial structures, such as the previously mentioned Patrick and Vickers family residences were built . With the end of the segregation era in the 1970s residents from the West Settlers area began moving out and shopping elsewhere . Commercial activity declined and the neighborhood lost e some of its earlier liveliness, although it continued as a strong center of life of the local ad- African-American community. Palm Beach County schools were integrated in 1969 , marking - SO the end of the segregation era, and providing our study with a tangible milestone to redefine - _ is the Period of Significance for the West Settlers Historic District. . t aks4,4' Based on the above cited historical milestones, it is our recommendation to extend the - - s Period of Significance to 1970. w _ * tat 1 RE - EVALUATION OF CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES 1 mior This report has updated and re-evaluated the "District Inventory" provided as part of the 1997 Designation Report.

The park located on N .W . 5th Avenue just south of the Mount Olive Church property has ` : `- been evaluated as "contributing" , due to its historical significance as the site of the first school, organized in 1895 . Masonic Lodge #275 , located at 85 N .W. 5th Avenue , has been evaluated as "non- _ = contributing" due to its 1978 date of construction, even though the organization is historically -+ , significant and has occupied the site since 1899 . - Ss,. NATIONAL REGISTER ELIGIBILITY _ •-. 41%7 _ = ~� Vls The La France Hotel , at 140 N . W . 4th Avenue , is potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criteria A for its historical significance and great contribution to the community during the days of segregation . It would also be eligible under - 4 Criteria B for its association with the Patrick family. Although the building was recently enlarged by a substantial addition, the original portion of the structure was sympathetically - "' al; rehabilitated and should be eligible in spite of the addition. liar The Spady House , at 170 N . W . 5th Avenue is also potentially eligible for National Register : - s listing. Eligibility is based both on its historical significance under Criteria A and B, and on i. architectural significance under Criteria C as a unique example of the Mission Style , lbsubstantial size and prominence among the more modest structures during that period in the s. district. i. It is recommended that both structures be nominated to the National Register of ,,Ur Historic Places. The William Robinson House, at 317 N . W. ls` Street may be potentially eligible for National ` -� +0 Register listing for its historical and architectural significance under Criteria A, B and C , but tor the substantial alterations it has undergone over the years may hinder its eligibility. - N '► National Register Historic District nomination for the West Settlers Historic District is not ,�` - recommended at this time due to the number of "non-contributing" structures within the local - Sr district boundaries . lair sir r ter r 63 . e'er`` -11 - - .) FLORIDA MASTER SITE FILES Florida Master Site File forms have been updated for all "contributing" structures .

The City, however, may want to take into consideration retaining the present southwestern corner boundary in order to keep TOP review authority over future infill construction in that particular area . , . " , ____ • Extend the Period of Significance to 1970 to coincide with the end of the segregation era in Delray Beach . - rx " �" • Amend the Inventory reflect the new updates on "Contributing" , "Non-contributing" S . IP and "Demolished" structures as shown on the "List of Surveyed Resources" in a oarUrU Appendix B . ''� " • Prepare National Register Nomination Proposals for the La France Hotel and the lir i� Spady House . _ IN • Consider local historic designation or historic marker for the wall north of N.W. r '" SP 4th Street that once defined the northern edge of where African-American families were allowed to live . t, illoseior The West Settlers Historic District is not particularly remarkable for containing structures of major architectural significance and its ratio of "contributing" to "non-contributing" ..- "or structures is not very strong. The district ' s historical significance , though, is indisputable . 1. :sop _ �, a IOW 64 a apert PP i I Ilk The pride and identity of its present residents and those descendents of the pioneer settlers is quite evident . This is a neighborhood that speaks eloquently of its past, its struggles and its triumphs . Its story needs to be told for future generations to never lose track of where it all started for them . This story needs to be told in written accounts, but most importantly through the preservation of the remaining physical fabric of the West Settler Historic District .

"'��. - DEL-IDA PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT HISTORIC SURVEY REPORT INTRODUCTION r' pe The City of Delray Beach has retained the firm of R. J . Heisenbottle Architects, P .A. (RJHA) to resurvey four areas within the city previously listed on the Local Register of Historic sw ; Places as Historic Districts . The four areas to be studied are Del-Ida Park, Nassau Park, Old -NIP School Square , and West Settlers Historic District. RJHA ' s task will be to prepare individual Survey Reports for each of the four historic districts . These survey reports will include the _ :r ` following information : !'" ft • Historical overview of the district . • Review existing criteria for determining contributing and non-contributing structures . 9 • Recommendations on extending Periods of Significance , where appropriate , within ,� the district. •�'' • Update Florida Master Site File forms for previously recorded structures . • Prepare new Florida Master Site File forms for previously unrecorded structures _ t 5 • Prepare maps and photographs for all sites within the district . 4.51 _ S These surveys are reviewing all structures located within the locally designated historic districts that are thirty five (35 ) years or older. Information on structures currently listed is . 1:0011, being updated, noting any alterations , relocations and demolitions since the time that the Saw I t " Designation Report was originally prepared. Structures not previously listed, that meet the 35 •rd"� year or older criteria and that are deemed "contributing" to the historic district, are being 4 re added to the Florida Master Site File and are being recommended for inclusion in the Local - _ tis • Register of Historic Places ' Historic District Designation Report . ir a To date , RJHA has completed work on the Nassau Park Historic District and on the Old w ilir School Square Historic District and the West Settlers Historic District . The Del -Ida Park Historic Survey Report covers the fourth and final area being studied under this project . This de a report will provide information on those items outlined above, based on : field work; research 40 conducted on City records including building cards and permits ; Sanborn map records S Sr available at the Delray Beach Planning and Zoning Department; existing historical publications ; previous surveys covering the Del -Ida Park Historic District, such as the Am Pie Historic Resources Survey. Phase II, conducted by Janus Research in 2002 ; the Delray Beach de Historic Sites Survey conducted by John P . Johnson in 1987 and on historical research conducted at the Delray Beach Historical Society. The Del-Ida Park Historic District was officially listed in the Local Register of Historic Places in 1988 . A total of 47 sites were listed as individual contributing buildings . Additional _ ► contributing sites were identified by the "Historic Resources Survey Report Phase II" , gra 11- :011ie conducted by Janus Research in 2002 , but were not incorporated as part of the Designation ws- Ape -- ► ale n 73 9 . . s. Report . The RJHA Report will update and re-evaluate the information provided in the Janus Report and will make recommendations for additional sites that should be officially listed as - contributing structures in the Del -Ida Park Designation Report. BOUNDARIES (See Attachment A : Historic District Map) _ a - The Del-Ida Park Historic District is bounded on the north by N . E . 8th Street, on the east by It the Florida East Coast Railway, on the south by N .E . 4th Street, and on the west by the east side of N . Swinton Avenue . These are the original boundaries of the development originally platted in 1923 . Based on that historical fact, no boundary extension or modification is . being recommended for the Del-Ida Park Historic District. - I _ CONTEXT The Del-Ida Park Historic District is a 14 block suburban residential area just four blocks _ north of the heart of downtown Delray Beach. It consists of primarily single family, one story t -i rte, residences, although there are some two story houses and a few duplex structures that were I - - built during the 1950s and 1960s . Although some of the houses have been converted to light • .: OPoffice use , the residential character of the area remains fairly intact . The same can be said a t._ 1 about the original historic fabric of the structures . Few of the historic houses have been % demolished. Only two houses listed on the 1988 Designation Report have been demolished. -� „ These were located at 601 N . Swinton Avenue and at 107 N . E . 6 Street . Most of the houses _ t "t have survived with relatively few unsympathetic alterations or additions . In several instances -0PIP additions have been made with respect and sensitivity to the original houses, compatible in k i - __ design yet clearly distinguishable from the historic portion. Specific examples will be i " ' presented in the "Architectural Significance" Section. t i The original plat was laid out in an interesting and unusual fashion, combining a rectangular I. - •/r' grid with a series of diagonal streets . Most notable is Dixie Boulevard, which serves as the _ - main concourse in the development, having been laid out 20 feet wider than the rest of the t i • 1 4.1 irstreets . The combination of rectangular and diagonal street design produces a series of j 'lIlw lgr unusual triangular blocks and lots with varying street frontage . There are three small public = - parks that, along with well landscaped grounds and mature trees , contribute to the overall 1 NosO. isir visual quality of the neighborhood . ae a a HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE i li Del-Ida Park is one of the first planned residential developments in Delray Beach . In 1923 , 1 i Nib ei#, the Ocean City Development Company purchased a 58 acre tract in the northeast section of ',� Delray Beach , during the heyday of the Florida Real Estate Boom , and created Del-Ida Park. ` � _ ► 3 The development company was organized by Mr. J . C . Secord, of Miami , along with Mr. B . E . i s. 3111" Clutter, also of Miami , and Mr. Charles Kuschke of Fort Lauderdale, who planned to open sales offices in Delray (not yet renamed Delray Beach) , West Palm Beach and Miami . On I - I - ► OM re74 i ` ..a she sealSIllia- S - g. September 18 , 1923 , Del-Ida Park was officially platted and recorded and appears to have - been an almost instant success . Del-Ida Park was widely promoted in the Delray News . In a front page article dated September 28 , 1923 , the newspaper proclaimed that "Del-Ida is growing fast" . It goes on to state that 25 of the available 58 lots had been sold and that city water and electricity were - � being installed. The article also states that "Two beautiful parks are being made and 100 ' s of Australian pines, other trees, flowers and shrubbery are being planted" . The newspaper further states that "Mr. Secord and his group bring people daily to visit Del -Ida Park and soon they will have to put more of their lots on the market" . On October 19 , 1923 , the Delray _ . News reported that "Wonderful progress is being made in Del-Ida Park, our new suburb . Nice hard surfaced streets are being run through the property and it is beginning to look like - `" a real town" . One of the first investors in the area was Frederick Henry Link, formerly a craftsman of Mizner Industries in West Palm Beach, who in 1923 purchased several lots in Del-Ida Park. Mr. Link soon became the general contractor for the development, and most of the early _ - houses in Del-Ida Park were built by him . That same year he began construction of his own home , located at 524 N . E . 2nd Avenue . .. 'mbar % The great almost overnight success of the Del-Ida Park was as typical of the Florida Real r " Estate Boom as its rapid collapse following the Stock Market Crash of 1929 and subsequent years of the Great Depression. Construction continued, but at a much slower pace during the "sgy1930s and 1940s . It was not until the end of World War II that Del-Ida Park experienced a It► new surge in construction. During the immediate post-war era, Delray Beach saw a marked 'bier increase in population, the result of former military personnel stationed in the area that returned and relocated with their families . Del -Ida Park was an attractive middle-class ... it iiimAppp suburban community, centrally located and reasonably priced . Many new houses went up at t . this time , modest in scale , but representative of the latest trends in architectural design, materials and technology. It +w ilor ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE • 4. ow iir - a . There are many architectural styles represented in Del-Ida Park. Following are examples of the most prevalent ones found within the designated historic district : -_ Henryk brought to Del -Ida Park with him the experience he had acquired while Frederickik. le le p �' g working with Addison Mizner in Palm Beach . Inspired by Mizner ' s grand Mediterranean _- lb-! Revival style houses in Palm Beach, Mr. Link' s house set the tone for the architectural style - in Del-Ida Park. Smaller in scale and simpler in design, the Link House is mostly Mission i style, but with some Mediterranean Revival details, such as the octagonal corner tower and the heavily rusticated doorway surrounds . 01 ti is or 75 i ` - ` - a' • v a - . 4- ;• ; �� • • / . •� le � a' — R }' ti• * N The Link House. 524 N. E. 2nd Avenue (1923) . 4. _ ay t The Mission Style became the predominant design mode for the original houses in the Del - a - Ida Park development. A scaled down version of the Mediterranean Revival style , the Mission style was widely popular in the 1920s , and its charm and currency made it an sigyimportant selling tool for the planned residential development. While the Mediterranean Ifibiii, Revival style owed its inspiration to the Spanish, Italian and Moorish architecture along the Mediterranean coast, the Mission style was derived from the Spanish Missions in California 1r and New Mexico . In Del-Ida Park, textured stucco surfaces on wood frame structures , flat roofs , molded parapets, scuppers and sparse , if any, applied decorative details were the primary features of the Mission style . Simple designs and inexpensive construction methods _ made these houses attractive and affordable . A total of 25 of the original Mission Style homes are still standing in Del -Ida Park, although three have seen their original stylistic 1111. ` features altered beyond recognition. These structures have been incorrectly identified as . , r Mediterranean Revival in past surveys . That classification should be corrected in all records . �/ . lis SIF Mission Style Houses `/ 6i ! at °rear• • `MI ,4 alto. 7R. - - • l ' iib- aIlli .14,11101 _ .St 11 Dixie Boulevard 102 N.

OleThese buildings are larger, usually two stories and have a greater amount of applied i °r 76 ` •r T Ale me. - - 1 - i t bibs le decorative details than the simpler Mission style houses, including arches, a combination of flat and pitched tiled roofs and balconies . One of the best examples of the Mediterranean Revival style may be found in the residence located at 515 N . Swinton Avenue . The fact that _ it was originally built outside Del -Ida Park at 324 N . E . 2nd Avenue and relocated to its present site in 1961 , may explain the anomaly of its more ornate , larger scale within this historic district . The apartment building at 401 N .E . 2nd Avenue is also Mediterranean ,k l Revival by its more elaborate design, although its bell-shaped central parapet still harks back to the Mission style . Several of the original Mission style buildings have been modified a through additions and alterations into Mediterranean Revival designs .

Some of the more typical details for these houses include low to medium pitch gable roofs generally facing front, modest overhangs, prominent chimneys , :, `� decorative wood details on gable ends, inset porches supported on decorative wood supports �"� and sparsely used Colonial or other traditional applied decoration, such as door and window 0.

E. 611' Street There are many fine examples of Contemporary Style houses that were built during the post _ World War II building construction surge in Del-Ida Park. These houses are inspired by the International Style that originated in Europe and later traveled to the United States , where it was eminently established by Mies Van der Rohe and his disciple Philip Johnson, among many others . An even more direct influence can be found in the post-war work of masters R like Richard Neutra in California and Paul Rudolph in Sarasota . . limp a sopp Contemporary style houses in Del-Ida Park have simple, clean lines, highly abstracted, geometric designs and are mostly devoid of any applied decoration. One of the most important features of these buildings is their complete break with traditional, historical models . They rely on massing, new materials and methods of construction and sculptural - forms for architectural expression. Most of the houses have flat roofs with broad eaves , may 0)s have glass jalousie windows and often an attached carport. These houses were not 50 years s old at the time when the Del-Ida Park Historic District was designated, therefore not meeting O the age threshold to be considered as contributing structures . It is, however, RJHA ' s strong recommendation that these houses should be recognized and officially listed as contributing b. a 110, p buildings in the Designation Report, for their historical and architectural significance as is I. representative examples of Post-War Era design. ,,/ Contemporary Style Houses IL .IIW , 4 - - - -- - ' Or . . . ii, * w lib- ► 215 N.

Among the styles that can be found are examples of Frame and Masonry Vernacular, one drastically altered Bungalow, some Streamline Moderne, and several Ranch houses . ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS Many of the original structures have been altered and others have been added to , both with varying degrees of success . Some of the original Mission style houses were enlarged during the 1950s . The additions have been successful as statements of their own time , although they may have completely altered the architectural character of the original house . The Mission style house at 217 N . E . 4th Street is no longer recognizable from the front. The addition itself, however, is quite handsome , with a boldly cantilevering carport, and the original building is fairly intact toward the rear of the new structure ( See photo below) .

The original house has a simple molded parapet, while the parapet on the addition has a continuous banding at the top . In spite of the all the good _ attributes of the addition, the overall effect and character is now that of a Mediterranean - Revival style building, rather than the original Mission style design intent. , k ' b,,_ A less fortunate addition, however, can be seen at 203 Dixie Boulevard, where the original Mission style house is no longer recognizable , and the entire structure has deceivingly and disarmingly become faux Mediterranean Revival . • - - R . .eca """"�r .4� . nt r m 204 Dixie Boulevard 203 Dixie Boulevard b. ,b Ifir Finally, the following two additions are highly successful in their execution.

This does not mean that structures that - are 35 to 50 years old will automatically be deemed contributing, but rather they will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis for possible eligibility. _ The Del-Ida Park Historic District Designation Report, approved in 1988 , places the Period of Significance cut-off date by which structures are to be evaluated at 1943 . The cut-off date tier is based in the generally accepted 50 year old threshold for considering eligibility of structures for listing as "contributing" within a designated historic district . In terms of historical and architectural development, it is difficult to justify this date under any other ` criteria than the 50 year threshold. The post World War II era was a significant period in the historic and architectural development of Delray Beach . There was a marked population increase , as many GIs stationed in the area relocated with their families after the war. As a result, Delray Beach saw a period of growth in business, tourism, and consequently in job opportunities and therefore .. *sran increase in demand for housing . Although the housing shift was mostly towards outlying tapirsuburban expansion and away from the center of town, as was typical everywhere else in the country at that time , Del-Ida Park remained an attractive neighborhood, affordable and conveniently close to downtown. This report has already discussed the architectural dersignificance of the Contemporary Style housing built during this era . Many of the structures +�► '!r that RJHA has identified and recorded for the first time as part of this Resurvey Project date s from 1963 - 1965 . The house pictured below, for instance, is part of a block-long cohesive group built during that time period, although unfortunately, most have been seriously altered. pip" alair 10 NE S"' Street Based on the above cited historical and architectural significance of Del-Ida Park in the ► post-war era, it is our recommendation to extend the Period of Significance to 1970 . ► 81 3 a * en- _ RE-EVALUATION OF CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES _ This report has updated and re-evaluated the "District Inventory" provided as part of the _ 1988 Designation Report, which identified 47 Contributing Structures . Following is a - summary of our re-evaluation, which includes sites previously recorded and recommended - for inclusion in the Designation Report by the 2002 Janus Report : Ii. _ • Contributing Structures Identified in the 1988 Designation Report 47 • New Contributing Structures per 2002 Janus Report 34 • New Contributing Structures per RJHA Report 19 • Non-Contributing Structures 58 '-24Z an • Demolished Structures 2 G __ -_ NATIONAL REGISTER ELIGIBILITY jr- .... The Del-Ida Park Historic District contains sufficient historical and architectural significance as a planned 1920s residential development to be potentially eligible for consideration as a r ' National Register Historic District . A stronger yet case could be made for a Multiple Resource nomination for the original 1920s Mission style buildings in the development . - Another option is to pursue individual National Register nomination for the Frederick Henry 4 " Link House at 524 N.E . 2nd Avenue , based on Criteria A (for its association with the planned .. , development) , Criteria B (for its association with an individual who made a significant se ,ram contribution to the development) and C (for its architectural significance as a 1920s Mission /-�/ style-themed development) . Any of the above options are feasible and realistic for National .._ %Or Register consideration. FLORIDA MASTER SITE FILES t I. Florida Master Site File forms have been updated for all "Contributing Structures" previously - ,11" recorded as part of the 1988 Designation Report or as part of the 2002 Janus Report. The PIPr following structures will be submitted for addition to the FMSF and new numbers will be requested for them : �""'r • 543 NE 3rd Avenue . , 011 " • 701 NE 3rd Avenue • 10 NE 5th Street • 14 NE 5th Street co • 18 NE 5th Street ► 22 NE 5 `h Street _ ► - • 102 NE 5th Street ak N. 000 • 106 NE 5th Street • 110 NE 5t Street -- • 215 NE 5th Street III* 0 Ilir ► 82 _ . • 222 NE 5th Street • 225 NE 5th Street • 116 NE 6`h Street _ • 721 N Swinton Avenue • 14 NE 7`h Street • 113 NE 7th Street a. - • 14 NE 8`h Street • 225 Royal Court • 202 Palm Court SUMMARY RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the Del-Ida Park Historic District local designation be amended to reflect the following : • Amend the Inventory contained in the 1988 Designation Report to include the new structures being added to the FMSF as part of this report. • Extend the Period of Significance to 1970 , based on the historical and architectural significance of the Post World War II period in the development of Del-Ida Park. • Amend the Inventory to identify the original structures in the Del-Ida Park development as designed in the Mission style, not as Mediterranean Revival, as 11.4* originally indicated in the 1988 Designation Report and in the 1987 Delray Beach Historic Sites Survey. The breakdown of Mission and Mediterranean Revival style .010.1111Hairip houses within the Del-Ida Park Historic District is provided in the attached "List of stilt Surveyed Resources" in Appendix B . CONCLUSIONS b. _ ' Del-Ida Park is a remarkably cohesive and well preserved neighborhood. Few of the original structures have been demolished and alterations have been, for the most part, relatively 40 benign. Even those structures deemed "Non-Contributing" due to their recent date of .w construction or unsympathetic alterations maintain a sense of cohesiveness in their scale, altar setback, use of materials and overall architectural character. The new encroaching development is nearby, but it is yet to cross N . E . 4th Street into Del-Ida elgr Park. There is a palpable sense of pride and identity in the neighborhood residents . The sae historic district designation has made a positive contribution towards the visual quality and historical integrity of Del-Ida Park. This is evident in the marked improvement in the alterations and additions being made, and in the slowing down of the development pressure 1i that the immediate area is facing.

ALVAREZ , HISTORIC PRESERVATION PLANNER PAUL DORLING , AICP , DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND ZONING THROUGH : CITY MANAGER DATE : March 4 , 2009 SUBJECT : AGENDA ITEM # WORKSHOP MEETING — March 12 , 2009 REVIEW OF RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE RESURVEY OF THE WEST 111 SETTLERS HISTORIC DISTRICT , 7 ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION f The item before the City Commission is review of recommendations from the resurvey of the West Settlers Historic District , conducted by RJ Heisenbottle Architects , Inc . Staff seeks direction from the City Commission on the implementation of the noted recommendations . lop _ BACKGROUND A resurvey of the West Settlers Historic District was completed in January 2009 , and the survey report makes the following recommendations : ea Amend the southern boundary by removing the Atlantic Grove development ; S • Discusses the possibility of removing the two properties the southwest corner of NW 5th =- . 55 Avenue and NW 1st Street ; _ • Extend the Period of Significance ( POS ) to 1970 ( currently spans 1900 To 1947 ) ; • Seek listing on the National Register of Historic Places for the La France Hotel and SD Spady House properties ; and _ • Consider a historic designation or historic marker for the remainder of the Lake Ida Road wall north of NW 4th Street . fir 4. I k The report recommends removal of the Atlantic Grove development with the justification that the _ � it. a new development has caused " significant erosion of . . . historic fabric . . . " The contributing structures located within this area , at the time the district was created ( 1997 ) , were demolished with the for. exception of the Susan B . Williams house which was relocated to 154 NW 5th Avenue . This area ' s a removal will provide for additional cohesiveness within the historic district , and increase the ratio of sir �w contributing to non - contributing properties . 40 nt "'�` - The report also discusses possible removal of two properties located along the west side of NW 5th * t°, Avenue , within the first block . The report notes that the removal will increase the " density of 40 „,t lt contributing structures within the redefined boundaries . " However , the report goes on to note that , _ 4 - " the City may want to retain this corner within the district in order to have review authority over new w ' infill construction . " Staff' s recommendation is to retain those properties within the district as these i . air, two properties were classified non - contributing and included within the district at the time of 1 ;. rw . 0 designation in 1997 . Inclusion is further supported as they are located along NW 5th Avenue , the ;we historical " main street" within this district , and conditions relating to those properties have not changed since the district ' s original designation that would warrant the properties removal . 4 tele iw • ,, Ill J - 61 A recommendation to extend the POS to 1970 is made and has been justified in that it coincides with the end of the segregation era in Delray Beach . This affected the area in that it began to - change as residents moved elsewhere within the city . The report notes that the West Settlers neighborhood " never lost its identity or its cohesiveness during this period , as new apartment , lb- buildings went up , and the commercial establishments . . . continued to provide basic services and livelihood to the residents " that remained behind . The report further explains that the district is if g" most ) distinguished for its historical significance , rather than its architectural significance . " The s `" m m m m m Y 9 g g P3 Pi; r Pi P3 F P3 P3 Pi R W bd 6 e s s it kl 41 POS extension would affect the classification of six properties currently deemed non -contributing , - N " N W N N Ui {J Pt 2 "' 2 N N N P.

It should be noted that additional review criteria or - 3 m a I s 9-4 s v 5 restrictions would not be placed on those properties via this designation . _ i °P s T a _ "' 0 O ' n 6 k' i` y ri tf m 4 g Ot II Per the project ' s contract , the consultant also reviewed the surrounding properties for possible - OMv m 3 inclusion in the West Settlers Historic District .

Assistance is often needed to gather various maps , identify sources of local history , and locate historic resources . We would like to acknowledge those who helped us produce this work . The financial and administrative support provided by the City of Delray Beach and the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency was integral to this project . In addition to supplying the funding necessary to meet the state matching grant requirements , the City also made available materials , services , and resources necessary for the field survey , research process , and preparation of the final report . We feel very fortunate to have had access to historic photographs , newspaper clippings , tax rolls , property cards , Sanborn maps , and plat maps stored at the City Hall . Additionally , we greatly appreciate the assistance of the City staff for their input on the production of the report , information regarding surveyed properties , and enthusiastic support of historic preservation . In particular , we would like to thank Patricia Cayce , Delray Beach ' s Historic Preservation Planner, for all of her help and expertise during this project , Nguyen Tran for his assistance with mapping, and Ron Hoggard for providing us with building information . As we conducted research at the Delray Beach Historical Society , Palm Beach County Library , the Historical Society of Palm Beach County , and Florida State Archives we would like to thank the staff, volunteers , and administrators at these institutions . We would also like to recognize the staff at the Bureau of Historic Preservation , especially Vicki Cole , who provided support throughout the project and the Historic Preservation Advisory Council for devoting their time towards the recognition and funding of projects such as the City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report . In addition , we are grateful to the citizens and property owners of Delray Beach for their interest in this project and their patience when we conducted site inspections and took photographs of their properties . It is our hope this report will facilitate the City ' s efforts to recognize and preserve the heritage of Delray Beach. This publication has been financed in part with historic preservation grant assistance provided by the National Park Service , U . S . Department of the Interior , administered through the Bureau of Historic Preservation , Division of Historical Resources , Florida Department of State , assisted by the Historic Preservation Advisory Council .

The areas include the Dell Park and Osceola Park neighborhoods . Additionally , historic resources located along Atlantic Avenue and within the locally designated Marina Historic District were surveyed . Historic resources located on the barrier island between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean were also surveyed . Although numerous buildings in this area have been surveyed in the past , it was considered 4 a priority to record the remaining resources based on their vulnerability to demolition . i i - - i i I&.

The survey portion provides written and photographic documentation of 393 historic resources . Following the survey information is an analysis of the findings , which outlines the building styles and types and predominant characteristics . Although the survey and survey results comprise a large portion of this report , a brief developmental history of Delray Beach was also created . This narrative gives an overview of the growth and development of the City through the present day and defines a context in which to place the area ' s historic resources . Recommendations and suggestions for the preservation of the city ' s historic resources and general methods of preservation action are also found within the report . This historic resources report is intended as a tool for the use of the local government and citizens of Delray Beach to protect their built environment . These resources should be viewed as a continually contributing component to the development and growth of Delray Beach . Whether the buildings are residential , commercial , high style , or vernacular, these resources remain viable and valuable places to the City of Delray Beach .

M I .. 410 .s V a I a) m I >% a I C O I I 1 , I City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report PROJECT METHODS The primary goals of the City of Delray Beach ' s Historic Resource Report were to locate , document , and evaluate identified resources in the City limits of Delray Beach that were at least fifty years old . Janus Research' s survey methodology consists of a series of phases that produce efficient and accurate survey results . Phase I consisted of gathering all information previously compiled on the City' s development and historic resources . This background research oftentimes reveals historic resources that may not have been readily apparent due to their simple or unassuming appearance . This research was conducted through a variety of primary and secondary sources such as numerous newspaper and magazine articles , period photographs , books , and historic maps located at the Delray Beach City Hall and several local historical societies . In addition , the City' s public records were consulted to assist in the formulation of a historical narrative , and to provide the tools necessary to assess the historic resources that exist within the City . For example , the City of Delray Beach is fortunate to still possess the building cards , which list construction dates , alterations , and materials . This type of tool is very helpful in supplying background research . Surveys previously conducted within the city are also an important source of background information. Several prior field surveys have been conducted within the city limits of Delray Beach including the 1987 Delray Beach Historic Sites Survey and • several small surveys conducted in the locally designated Nassau Park Historic District , Old School Square Historic District , Del -Ida Park Historic District , West Settlers Historic District , and the Vista Del Mar area . As part of these surveys 258 buildings were recorded in the Florida Master Site File (Appendix 1 ) . Additionally , there are several National Register- listed properties including the Milton-Myers I American Legion Post No . 65 (PB418 ) ; the Seaboard Airline Railroad Station (PB228 ) ; the buildings at Old School Square ; and the John and Elizabeth Shaw Sundy House (PB7510 ) . The next phase of the project ( Phase II ) involved conducting the historic resources field survey . Tax roll information provided to the City of Delray Beach from the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser' s Office was used to compile a preliminary list of all structures built prior to 1951 . Janus Research then obtained aerial photographs of the entire city limits , which were taken into the field when an architectural historian and at least one historical technician conducted the reconnaissance survey . During this portion of the survey , all resources within the specified project area featuring materials , construction methods , and styles indicative of a construction date before 1951 were noted on the aerials . Based on this information , the team next surveyed each street by foot and evaluated the resources according to the guidelines established by the National Register of Historic Places and the Florida Department I of State . Each historic resource , regardless of integrity and condition , was recorded on a Florida Site Master File form , assigned a recorder number , located on a U . S . G . S . map , and photographed . Photographs were taken with a 35 -mm camera using 100 ASA black-and -white film . A log was kept to record the resource ' s physical location Iand compass direction of each photograph . A total of 393 properties were recorded during the survey . 1 JANUS RESEARCH page 12 v City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report III began .the conclusion of the field survey Phase The information collected during the field survey was brought back to Janus Research ' s main office in St . Petersburg and the field site file forms were compiled . The field data was entered into a Microsoft Access database . On this computer-generated form , each resource ' s physical architectural information , style , and present and original use was determined . The characteristics and condition of each building was evaluated based on a visual inspection of exterior elements such as the roofing materials , exterior wall fabric , windows , foundation , chimneys , architectural details , and the general appearance of the building . For the majority of the surveyed buildings , the dates of construction were acquired from building cards located at City Hall ; this source of information is considered to provide reliable construction dates . Phase IV involved the determination of each resource ' s architectural and historical significance by evaluating them at the local , state , and national level ; this includes evaluating the potential eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places . Each resource ' s integrity was determined from site observations , field data , and photographic documentation . The context for evaluating significance was established based on the research and survey conducted by Janus Research . The resulting data is presented in the report in tables and text relating to the identified resources . This information assisted in the developmental history of the City and the formulation of recommendations . A bibliography of the sources consulted during the project is located at the end of this report . In addition , a list of the previously recorded historic resources is included as Appendix 1 .

Survey findings can be utilized by various agencies required to comply with both state and federal preservation regulations as an authoritative database . In order to evaluate the diverse resources found in the United States , the criteria are worded in a subjective manner . The following is a brief description of the criteria established by the United States Department of the Interior to evaluate properties for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places . CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION The quality of significance in American history , architecture , archaeology , and culture is present in districts , sites , buildings , structures , and objects that possess integrity of location , design , setting , materials , workmanship , 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 persons significant in our past ; or C . That embody the distinctive characteristics of a type , period , or methods 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 prehistory or history . Resources such as cemeteries , birthplaces or 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 last fifty years are not generally considered to be eligible for the National Register . However , if they are integral parts of districts that satisfy the criteria or if they fall within the following categories , these properties will qualify for listing in the National Register : 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 significant primarily 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 directly associated with his or her productive life ; or JANUS RESEARCH page 14 �rw, f 11 ! ' v City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report D . A cemetery which derives its primary significance 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 fifty years if it is of exceptional importance . The Division of Historical Resources utilizes the same criteria in a more lenient manner for selecting properties to be placed in the Florida Master Site File , located in Tallahassee . The Florida Master Site File process allows for the recordation of all historic resources , even if they are ineligible for inclusion in the National Register . It is important to note the Florida Master Site File is not a state historic register , but a repository that holds thousands of documents intended for use as planning tools and a central location for storing archival data on the physical remains of Florida ' s history . FMSF forms are permanent documentation of historic resources . With backgrounds and extensive experience in architectural history and historic preservation , Janus Research has surveyed thousands of buildings including multiple resources throughout south Florida in Palm Beach , Dade , Monroe , and Martin Counties . Therefore , the survey team was familiar with the types of area resources and the available research materials located in the local public and private facilities . During the field survey , the survey team recorded all historic resources in the specified project area that were built before 1951 and appeared on the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser ' s tax rolls . Each resource was recorded regardless of integrity or condition . On the FMSF forms the building' s integrity was evaluated on the basis of criteria established by the U . S . Department of the Interior . Deterioration , extensive modifications , the use of incompatible exterior siding or windows , and porch enclosures are typical alterations that compromise a building' s architectural integrity . The condition of the City' s resources was also evaluated according to the Department of the Interior' s standards . The year 1950 was chosen as the cut -off date for the survey because it fulfilled the fifty-year criteria used by the National Register for assessing historic buildings . 464 • c i JANUS RESEARCH page 15 CC1 [f _ DEVELOPMENTAL HISTORY OF DELRAY BEACH 1j4t ; (('; I' V C3 a) >s C3 n 0 >s V S V City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report • DEVELOPMENTAL HISTORY OF DELRAY BEACH Introduction The development of the City of Delray Beach began in 1876 when the Orange Grove House of Refuge No . 3 was constructed by the United States Life Saving Corps on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean . Several years later , William S . Linton platted the self- named town of Linton, further encouraging the early development of the area . A Michigan -native , Linton returned home and undertook a comprehensive advertising campaign to promote his new investment and entice potential settlers to Florida . By 1901 , the town was renamed Delray and the community was off to a prosperous beginning . Like many towns along the east coast of Florida , Delray Beach thrived during the Land Boom years of the 1920s . After an era of intense construction activity and rapid population growth , the Bust of 1928 and the subsequent Depression years dramatically affected the development of the area during the 1930s . With the onset of World War II and its aftermath era of the late - 1940s , the City experienced renewed growth , which continued through the early- 1950s . The following narrative is designed to provide a broad context for the historic resources surveyedin DelrayBeach duringthis project . Fortunately , much of Delray ces Beach ' s history has been documented . Therefore , sources such as the Delray Beach Historic Sites Survey, the Delray Beach Centennial booklet , and a brief history prepared by the City ' s historic preservation planner , Patricia Cayce , have been used extensively in the preparation of this narrative . Important themes and events that shaped the development of Delray Beach have been emphasized . The various periods of history expanded upon in this developmental history should be a useful tool for determining the significance of the City ' s historic resources , and preparing local register designation reports and nominations to the National Register of Historic Places . The Settlement and Establishment of Delray Beach The early history of Delray Beach is inextricably tied to the pioneering heritage of southeast Florida . In the mid - 1870s , the United States Life Saving Service had nine Houses of Refuge constructed on the east coast of Florida . From New Smyrna to Biscayne Bay , these white houses with green trim stood on the beaches . The Houses of Refuge were meant to serve as lifesaving stations for shipwrecked sailors or as temporary shelters for travelers going from the northern point of Jupiter , south to Miami . Albert Blaisdell , a Boston contractor, constructed each of the buildings for $ 2 , 999 . Named after the nearby sour orange grove , the Orange Grove House of Refuge No . 3 erected in the present -day Delray Beach area was completed in 1876 (Britt 1984 : 96 - 98 ) . Following the establishment of the House of Refuge , the Zion Post Office was located there in 1885 . On his postal route along the beach , the Barefoot Mailman would stop there overnight on his way from Juno Beach to Lemon City , a small municipality historically located just north of Miami . • JANUS RESEARCH page 16 ♦ City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report • It r. • a - r a i ...ram•'. , . / , -. • : Or :14 ti :rater: r " 1,„1.4 ••• * ` .R tTI . .

Photograph Taken From Lora Sinks Britt' s Book, My Gold Coast: South Florida in Earlier Years. Prior to the construction of the House of Refuge , Captain George Gleason of - - Jacksonville purchased much of the land that now comprises Delray Beach from the U . S . Government under the Homestead Exemption Act . In 1868 , he paid $ 1 . 25 an acre for property densely covered by scrub pine , saw palmetto , oak , and saw grass and inhabited by many mosquitoes , snakes , and alligators . Human inhabitants included scattered settlements of Seminole Indians . Several years later , in 1894 , while visiting south Florida on " safari , " William S . Linton (later a United States Congressman for Michigan) ended up purchasing land from Captain Gleason ( Farrar 1974 : 12 ) . Thirty - eight years old , Linton , a postmaster from Saginaw , Michigan , traveled to south Florida with his friend , David Swinton , a bookstore owner in Saginaw . While in West Palm Beach , they became aware of a land sale near the House of Refuge and trekked down the East Coast Canal (now the Intracoastal Waterway) by barge to see the advertised acreage . Linton , with the help of Swinton , proceeded to purchase 160 acres from Gleason for $ 25 an acre ( Curl 1986 : 75 ; Farrar 1974 : 12 ) . That same year , black families from northern Florida arrived in the area , purchased property , and established a settlement just west of Linton ' s land . Following the initial settling of the area , many of the pioneer black families encouraged their relatives and friends to join them in southeast Florida ( Cayce n . d . : 1 ) . F � JANUS RESEARCH page 17 II V City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report When Linton and Swinton returned to Michigan , Linton , " a promoter par excellence , " 4 . began to publicize the Florida land in the Saginaw , Bay City , and Flint newspapers (Farrar 1974 : 13 ) . He was somewhat successful , as by the fall of 1895 approximately ten people had purchased five - acre tracts of land in the proposed development . In October of that year , Linton and the adventurous settlers from Michigan, including Jason Baker , Peter Leurs , Otto Schrader , and Adolf Hofman , traveled to their new home in Florida . While the men were attempting to tame the wild environment of southeast Florida and create homes and farms on the five -acre plots , they resided in the House of Refuge . After battling the lush tropical foliage and menacing insects and reptiles , the settlers eventually cleared their land and began planting crops ; the rich soil and abundant sunshine proved to be very conducive to farming . By the end of 1895 , several pioneering families such as the Chapmans and Sterlings were living in the area (n . a . 1995 : 5 ) . During this first year , the community endured many hardships such as freezes and a scarcity of goods and food . However , despite these setbacks , the settlement continued to grow at a gradual pace . The extension of Henry Morrison Flagler ' s Florida East Coast Railroad to the settlement in 1896 proved to be a great event in the community ' s history . As the railroad was under construction , many local residents worked as paid labor clearing , grading , and laying rail ( Nielander 1995 : 7 ) . At that time , Flagler ' s Model Land Company and Mr . Linton had the land surveyed , platted , and recorded as the Town of Linton . Mr . Linton worked to improve his namesake by arranging and naming streets and simply landscaping the streets with cabbage palms (Peebles 1937 : 3 ) . Although the community ' s fortune temporarily improved with the arrival of the railroad , it quickly took a turn for the worse . A severe freeze and hurricane destroyed much of the town ' s hard work. These disasters forced many people to go back to Michigan or travel further south to Miami . Also , in 1898 , William Linton experienced financial problems that resulted in the foreclosure on his land . As the news of Linton ' s difficulties spread to Michigan , fewer people were willing to risk settling in the new town. Subsequently , the local residents decided a different town name would attract new residents and minimize the failure associated with William Linton ( Cayce n. d . 2 ) . The second name chosen for the town was Delray . The new name was derived from a suburb outside of Detroit where one of the residents , Warren W . Blackmer , originally lived ( Farrar 1974 : 27 ) . It is possible the name change had a positive affect on the town , because by the turn- of-the - century the population expanded from a few pioneering families to 150 residents . The railroad facilitated this growth with regular freight and passenger service . In addition to the post office , two schools were constructed at this time and classes were held regularly for the local children . A general store and commissary provided goods and materials to the community . The black residents had two churches and a civic organization ( Cayce n. d . : 2 ) . The town continued to experience growth in the first decade of the twentieth century , although the population only increased by about 100 people . The changes occurring in Delray during this time represented the transformation of the town from a small isolated farming settlement to a desirous destination for new residents and winter visitors . The Inn , a two - story Frame Vernacular hotel , was erected on Atlantic } Avenue by the Chapman family . Atlantic Avenue was soon to become the commercial JANUS RESEARCH page 18 V City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report center of town . Telephone service from West Palm Beach Telephone Company was provided to the town at this time as well . Atlantic Avenue was the first road to be rocked from Swinton Avenue all the way to the East Coast Canal ; a barge carried passengers and horse -drawn wagons across the canal to the barrier island . Three , churches , the Methodist Church , St . Paul ' s Episcopal Church , and Trinity Lutheran Church, were organized , and civic organizations such as the Ladies Improvement Association and the Delray Masonic Lodge were established . The Ladies Improvement Association proved to be a very productive group that constructed a building on Atlantic Avenue for use as a civic center and library . In addition , they created the first municipal cemetery ( Cayce n. d . : 2 . ) . varri- ' ' t t SAV% t Car lift.

Between the years of 1910 to 1920 , the town ' s evolution persisted . Because of the rather isolated nature of the town , major events such as World War I touched Delray , but did not significantly shape the early history of the area . The burgeoning population of the 1910s increased the investments and improvements occurring in the city . On October 9 , 1911 , the Town of Delray was incorporated and John Shaw Sundy was elected the first mayor . The incorporated town consisted of the land west of the canal . Another significant event in 1911 was the formation of Palm Beach County from Dade County . Since Delray was closer to the new county seat , the town was included as part of Palm Beach County (Britt 1984 : 124 ) . At Atlantic Avenue , the first bridge was constructed across the East Coast Canal in 1912 . The first bank was organized and the city ' s first newspaper , the Delray Progress, was established during JANUS RESEARCH page 19 v City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report this year as well . Following the sale of $ 20 , 000 worth of bonds , Delray ' s original electric plant was constructed in 1914 ( Sundy 1963 : 2 ) . A movie theater , the Bijou , was constructed in 1917 . By 1920 , the census indicated that Delray ' s population had risen to 1 , 051 residents . As the central part of Delray was developing in the 1910s , an early subdivision known as Osceola Park was established south of town between the Florida East Coast Railroad tracks and the Florida East Coast Canal . George G . Currie and F .J . Lewis of the Currie Investment and Title Guaranty Company recorded the plat for Osceola Park in January of 1913 (Palm Beach County Plat Book 3 , p . 205 ) . Designed in a grid pattern , the lots were primarily 50 . 5 feet wide and 132 . 5 feet deep . At this time , subdivisions platted in a grid pattern were omnipresent in Florida . In fact , many early subdivisions found throughout the country planned by speculators were platted in this configuration . Because speculative real estate development in Delray was evolving into a lucrative business geared to a quick and maximum return on the investments , the grid pattern was practical . It simplified surveying , minimized legal disputes , maximized number of lots and houses on the land , and facilitated the rapid buying , selling , and improvement of real estate (Weaver 1989 ) . The streets in Osceola Park were named after local pioneers such as Sundy , Ingraham , and Blackmer (today the streets and avenues are numbered ) . The subdivision was very progressive with cement sidewalks , paved roads , a central sewerage system , and electrical access . In addition , two parks , Currie Common and a ball field , were set aside in the development , and shade and palm trees were systematically planted on the neighborhood ' s main streets ( Tropical Sun 2 January 1913 ) . George Currie actively promoted Osceola Park in the local newspapers . Both the Palm Beach Post and Tropical Sun contained articles and advertisements featuring the " high - class " residential area of Delray ( Palm Beach Post 4 December 1913 ; Tropical Sun 2 January 1913 ) . As one of Delray ' s first planned neighborhoods , Osceola Park was very successful and lots were quickly sold . By 1914 , thirty houses were already located in the subdivision and many more were proposed for construction . wt tiff w F sip} S�+' � %. `►[ .7�. • E 1 • Vig#v �f �ti✓ atef�:lnwme3r r� 05ieo1aEa�r K _. t.. �; '� k .. . ••�� j fir: .y_ .. ,r. - a. ^- •... . } ly � �^ S ".y>•-1 "'•.�, agr I t Photograph 3 : Early Twentieth Century View of Delray From Water Tower in Osceola Park .

JANUS RESEARCH page 20 I ' i1 V City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report I While Delray ' s built environment was rapidly expanding in the first part of the 1 twentieth century , agriculture remained Delray ' s main industry and pineapple was one of the main crops grown . A newspaper article from 1913 proclaimed that Delray had the " largest canning factory south of Baltimore , " which primarily canned pineapples ( Tropical Sun 6 November 1913 ) . Tomatoes were also considered a major cash crop in the area . In a six-month period between December of 1913 and June of 1914 , 250 carloads of tomatoes and 160 carloads of pineapples were shipped north on the railroads ( Cayce n . d . : 2 ) . Potatoes , peppers , beans , cucumbers , eggplants , cabbages , and various fruits were also grown in the area , asserting Delray ' s reputation as the "banner vegetable section of Palm Beach County " (n . a . n . d . : n . p . ) . dew.: - -IL - �- � _i 1�► f ` v* _ !!' , - + \ 4 % 4t 7 " le 4 :6 eillil o d3- ' r ' r '• ' ` . h �' A .

The Florida Land Boom and Bust As World War I ended , prosperity began to spread once again throughout the United States . Florida , in particular , experienced this upswing as construction , r production , and population in the state quickly increased . Why Florida became the I focus of such activity is obvious . People were drawn to the yearlong warm weather ; automobiles and improved roads , such as the Dixie Highway , made the state more accessible ; and Florida did not have state income or inheritance taxes ( Curl 1987 : 77 ) . Known as the " Ocean City , " Delray , with its prime location on the waterfront and wealth of available land , did not escape the affects of the Florida Land Boom ; " [ a ] lmost overnight Delray sprang from a community of a few hundred houses and a population of around 2 , 000 to a town twice that size . . .

T ) AWS RESEARCH page 22 V I � tl V City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report During this time , land auctions were held everyday in a tent on Atlantic Avenue ( Simon 1998 : 53 ) . In order to accommodate the influx of winter visitors and new residents , commercial and residential buildings sprang up throughout the town . The large numbers of buildings being erected on Atlantic Avenue were often designed in the Mediterranean Revival style . Popularized at this time by Addison Mizner , Harvey and Clarke , John Volk, Samuel Ogren , Sr . and other notable south Florida architects , the Mediterranean Revival style and other Spanish - influenced variants were the predominant inspiration for 1920s buildings . Irwin J . Sinks was one of Delray ' s most prolific builders during this period ( Britt 1984 : 78 , 80 ) . The small - town atmosphere of Delray and its main street of Atlantic Avenue quickly changed into a more exciting and cosmopolitan resort environment . Buildings such as the Arcade Building , built in 1923 ; Altrep ( Colony ) Hotel , built in 1926 ; Seaboard Air Line Railway Station , built in 1927 ; the Casa Del Ray Hotel , built in 1925 ; and the high school and gymnasium , built in 1926 , contributed to the new look of the town ( Cayce n . d . : 3 ) . At the height of the Boom , attractive amenities were planned for the town ' s residents including a municipal golf course west of Delray ' s downtown and yachting basin in the East Coast Canal ( Palm Beach Post 21 September 1925 ; 25 May 1926 ) . Numerous new subdivisions were also being developed throughout the town including Del - Raton Park , Lake Ida Gardens , Crest Lake Park, and Homewood . These new neighborhoods boasted wide streets , sidewalks , landscaped parkways , and city water ( The Delray News n . d . ) . ifraphoopt _" .

Boyd Hawkins was the president and general manager of the organization. When the neighborhood was established , the streets were named after major western cities such as Denver , Sacramento , Seattle , and Phoenix ( today the streets and avenues are numbered ) . Located north of the city ' s central core , between Swinton Avenue and the Florida East Coast Railroad , the 50 -foot wide lots were generally oriented in a north- south direction (Palm Beach County Plat Book 8 , p . 56 ) . During the Land Boom years , this neighborhood was a popular area for middle - income level families , and building permits revealed that $ 5 , 000 and $ 6 , 000 houses were being constructed in the Dell Park area ( The Delray News 25 September 1925 ; 9 October 1925 ) . To fill up the subdivisions and satisfy the housing shortage in the City , the Delray Realty Board initiated a " Build A Home " program in 1925 . In order to shape Delray into " a metropolis of the first order , " the townspeople were asked to build at least one house to sell on a speculative basis or rent to seasonal visitors ( The Delray News 8 August 1925 ) . At this time , subdivisions such as Osceola Park and Dell Park remained appealing locations for new construction. In 1925 , twenty " moderately - priced homes " were built in Osceola Park for sale or rental ( Palm Beach Post 26 July 1925 ) . Like the commercial buildings and hotels being constructed at this time , many of the residences exhibited the Mediterranean Revival or Mission architectural styles . However , the Bungalow house type was also prevalent in the 1920s . c k ' • k 1 . ► %. .qh. Photograph 6 : Ca . 1920s Photograph of a Mission Style Residence .

JANUS RESEARCH page 24 r' < V City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report 4 During the early part of this decade , in 1923 , the area between the East Coast Canal and the Atlantic Ocean incorporated to form the Town of Delray Beach . In this new town construction was also booming , exemplified by the erection of buildings such as the Seacrest Hotel in 1925 . Also , land prices were rapidly increasing during this era , and this was particularly evident in the cost of oceanfront property . According to a local history Incomparable Delray Beach -Its Early Life and Lore , the price of property would often quadruple within the course of one day (Farrar 1974 : 54 ) . Despite its steady growth , the independence of the town of Delray Beach was short lived ; in 1927 , the towns of Delray and Delray Beach were united and incorporated into the City of Delray Beach . Although increased development and an expansion in full - time and seasonal residents characterized the first half of the 1920s , the Land Boom eventually came to a dramatic close . Between 1922 and 1925 , bank deposits in Florida had grown from $ 180 , 000 , 000 to $ 875 , 000 , 000 . However , by the end 1925 , many real estate investors began to cancel all their transactions as they became panicked by news of bogus Florida real estate ventures . The prices and demand for Florida real estate had been exaggerated so significantly that there was little basis for the inflated market . Also , in August of 1925 , the F . E . C . Railroad refused to ship anything but perishable goods . Therefore , building materials were no longer being transported , which notably retarded construction activity ( Curl 1987 : 93 - 94 ) . Two devastating hurricanes swept through Palm Beach County in 1926 and 1928 , exacerbating the impending economic depression . The hurricane of September 16 , 1928 directly impacted Delray Beach destroying much of the city ' s building stock; according to newspapers , over 227 houses were ravaged by the storm (Farrar 1974 : 66 ) . By the time the Stock Market crashed in October of 1929 , Florida ' s real estate was virtually worthless . The Great Depression Through World War II While the country ' s economy was rapidly spiraling downward , Delray Beach was also experiencing financial difficulties with a bonded debt of $ 1 , 500 , 000 (Britt 1984 : 133 ) . Also indicative of the changing times , many of the subdivisions hastily platted during the Boom remained half- developed ( Simon 1998 : 55 ) . However , the city managed to remain relatively stable in terms of growth and development . Like other Palm Beach County municipalities such as Palm Beach and Boca Raton , winter residents and tourists continued to frequent Delray Beach bringing much needed revenue . Additionally , the agricultural business was picking up after a lull in the market a few years earlier . Mercantile businesses were still showing a profit during this time as well (n . a . n . d . : n . p . ) . Disregarding the financial uncertainty of the time , the Florida State Bank opened in 1929 in the old Ocean City Bank building , which exemplified the optimistic atmosphere of Delray Beach during the Depression era (Farrar 1974 ; 69 ) . Despite the hardships of the Depression , Delray Beach maintained its status as a resort community during the 1930s . In fact , famous cartoonists and writers began to flock to the city during the early 1930s ; many of them maintained offices or studios in the Arcade Building on Atlantic Avenue (Britt 1984 : 159 ) . Fontaine Fox, H . T . Webster , Herb Roth , Hugh McNair Kahler , and Nina Wilcox Putnam were several of the well known people that constructed or rented winter homes in Delray Beach , particularly along the oceanfront (Britt 1984 : 159 ; Delray Beach News November JANUS RESEARCH page 25 V City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report 1934 ) . Several years after the construction of his residence on the water , Fontaine Fox also decided to build rental properties to lease out during the winter season ( Delray Beach News 29 May 1936 ) . In addition to the cartoonists and writers building along the beach , many others were pulling permits for construction projects on Ocean Boulevard and the Intracoastal Waterway . The late - 1930s marked a period of increased development in this part of the city . By 1940 , the population of the city was reportedly 3661 residents . Subdivisions such as Ocean Breeze Estates and Seabreeze Park were platted and developed at this time . Homes designed by architects such as Samuel Ogren and William E . Elsmeyer were being constructed in the Bermuda architectural style ( Delray Beach News 14 October 1938 ; 27 January 1939 ) . In the 1930s , the Bermuda style became the alternative to the previously dominant Spanish -influenced architecture of the 1920s . The " lighter and simpler forms of these houses were a stylish and practical response " to the expensive and elaborate buildings of the Florida Land Boom era ( Groover 1998 : 70) . Around 1939 , as the gleaming white houses were continually being erected along the water , the reality of World War II began to enter into Delray Beach ' s daily activities . The history of Florida , at this time , was greatly influenced by the war . Florida became one of the nation ' s major training grounds for the various military branches including the Army , Navy , and Air Force . Until that time , tourism had been the state ' s major industry , and it was brought to a halt as tourist and civilian facilities such as hotels and private homes were placed into wartime service . The influx of thousands of servicemen and their families increased industrial and agricultural production in Florida , and also introduced them to the warm weather and tropical beauty of Florida . Within close proximity to wartime facilities such as Morrison Field in West Palm Beach , Camp Murphy in Hobe Sound , and the nearby Boca Raton Army Air Field , Delray was at the center of southeast Florida ' s military involvement . Many local men signed up for armed services while Deiray ' s female population ran their husbands ' businesses and participated in war-related volunteer activities . In the evenings , blackouts were required for the oceanfront homes , since German submarines were patrolling off of Florida ' s east coast ( Curl 1987 : 109 ) . Because Boca Raton Army Air Field was not far from Delray Beach , many of the military personnel and families resided in the city during the war . Having enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and pleasant climate , following the conclusion of World War II in 1945 , hundreds of servicemen remained in the Delray Beach/Boca Raton area ( Britt 1984 : 204 ) . Consequently , the city ' s ensuing development was changed by this period in history . The Aftermath of World War II to the Present The physical development of most communities in Florida had dramatically slowed during the World War II years from 1939 to 1945 . In the late 1940s , as life began to return to normalcy , the growth throughout the state including Delray Beach resumed at a rapid rate . As mentioned earlier , many World War II veterans returned to the area seeking permanent residency . These new residents were faced with a housing shortage , so homes were quickly and efficiently constructed using the JANUS RESEARCH page 26 V City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report latest in building technology . In addition to the year - round population , the tourist population also increased , once again reaching pre -war levels . The post -war housing boom lasted through the first half of the 1950s and Atlantic Avenue remained the commercial and civic center of Delray Beach . In her book , My Gold Coast: South Florida in Earlier Years , Lora Sinks Britt discussed how the mid - 1950s was also a somewhat tumultuous time in terms of race relations in the city ( Britt 1984 : 215 ) . Like most of the country , Delray had to address issues related to the segregation of the city ' s black and white residents . In the 1960s and 1970s , another wave of residents flooded Palm Beach County . This increase in population can be directly related to the large corporations including IBM and Motorola that established their headquarters and manufacturing facilities in the area ( Curl 1987 : 124 ) . The new inhabitants of Delray Beach , however , were more interested in living in the more recent suburban developments west of the City ' s central core . As the suburbs " exploded with growth , " new shopping areas and amenities that were constructed to serve the expanding population drew people away from the City ' s downtown ( Cayce n . d . : 3 ) . Unfortunately , this westward growth negatively affected the older portions of the City ; along Atlantic Avenue , the commercial buildings were empty and the streets and sidewalks suffered from neglect . By the late - 1980s , Delray Beach began to once again recognize the value of the City ' s historic resources , and efforts were soon underway to revitalize the historic heart of the City . Various civic , private , and governmental agencies started to work together to improve the condition of Atlantic Avenue . The sidewalks were widened and repaved , trees were planted , lights and benches were installed , and downtown parking was increased . Several historic resources including the Seaboard Air Line Railway Station were listed in the National Register of Historic Places during this time . The historic school buildings that comprise Old School Square were rehabilitated at this time as well . Other preservation activities included the preparation of the Delray Beach Historic Sites Survey in 1987 , which involved the recordation of 270 historic buildings , and the local designation of historic districts such as the Del - Ida Park neighborhood . Throughout the 1990s , the City has continued to take pride in its heritage . Several notable preservation projects have been initiated within the last few years . More historic districts and individual buildings have been locally listed and a historic preservation element of the zoning ordinance was adopted . Additionally , in 1998 , a grant was acquired from the State of Florida to conduct a historic resource survey and produce this document as another guide for local historic preservation efforts . This more recent phase of Delray Beach ' s history represents the important role of historic preservation , and it is hoped that the continued awareness of its historic resources will guide the City into the twenty-first century .

V City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report HISTORIC RESOURCES OF DELRAY BEACH The following portion of the report focuses on the historic architectural resources identified within the survey area . As shown earlier , the survey area includes several specified sections within the city limits of Delray Beach , including the Dell Park and Osceola Park neighborhoods , the beach area , Atlantic Avenue , and the locally - listed Marina Historic District ( Figures 3 - 9 ) . Included in this part of the report is an analysis of the survey results . An overview of the city ' s architectural styles is provided to e stablish a context for determining the architectural significance of the buildings . Images of representative buildings are located in this section to illustrate the e lements of each style . The buildings identified in the survey are listed in a comprehensive inventory located in this section ; the Florida Master Site File identification number , recorder number , address , architectural style , and approximate date of construction are found in this list (Table 14 ) . In addition , lists of e ach building , categorized by style , are included in this section of the report (Tables 4 - 13 ) . Analysis of Survey Findings Whether or not they are architecturally or historically significant , all of the historic resources included in the survey area contribute in some way to Delray Beach . Through their location , design , setting , materials , workmanship , feeling , and association , these historic resources convey the architectural character and historical development of the City . The 393 pre - 1951 historic resources included in this survey were inventoried regardless of their physical condition or integrity . The year of 1950 was chosen as a cut - off date because it fulfills the fifty -year requirement established by the National Park Service as a criterion for listing in the National Register of Historic Places . Several of the buildings surveyed have been significantly modified to the extent that the majority of their historic fabric is not intact . Nevertheless , each of the surveyed buildings are documented on Florida Master Site File forms and included in the analysis of the survey findings . Development Patterns of Historic Resources Within the survey area , the development patterns of Delray Beach ' s historic resources are illustrated in Table 1 . The six periods of development established during the survey reflect the developmental history of the City . These patterns of development also provide the contexts necessary for determining the significance of the various historic resources . The titles and dates of these historic periods were determined by the associated times in Delray Beach ' s history and also the time frames established by the Florida Master Site File .

Dating from around 1898 to 1916 , this era in Delray Beach ' s past centered on the town ' s early development . For the first part of this era , the community was still known as the Town of Linton , but the name was soon changed to Delray . Construction was primarily on and around Atlantic Avenue , and agriculture was the principal income producing activity for the town ' s residents . World War I and Aftermath Within the survey area , only two ( 2 ) buildings were constructed during this era , which lasted from 1916 to 1920 . Although many buildings from this period are not located within the sections of Delray Beach covered in this survey , overall , these years were marked by a great deal of growth and construction activity , leading to the Land Boom era of the 1920s . Florida Land Boom and Bust During this era, dating from approximately 1920 to 1929 , eighty ( 80) historic resources in the survey area were constructed . This period of time featured phenomenal development throughout Delray Beach. The commercial area , which centered on Atlantic Avenue , featured new Spanish influenced buildings . Numerous subdivisions were being platted by speculative developers , and hundreds of houses were constructed to fill the new neighborhoods . Mission homes and Bungalows were the popular building styles of the period . The building activity and population was boosted by promotional campaigns in the local papers . Streets and sidewalks were quickly paved to accommodate the new residents . In addition , sewerage facilities , streetlights , and water lines were added in Delray Beach . In the latter part of this period , the towns of Delray and Delray Beach combined to form the City of Delray Beach . Depression/New Deal The collapse of the Land Boom in 1926 , the disastrous hurricanes of 1926 and 1928 , and the effects of the Great Depression slowed building activity in the survey area from 1929 - 1941 . However , despite the negative turn of events , ninety ( 90) buildings in the project area were constructed during this era . Not only did the Town ' s construction activity significantly decrease , but also the 1928 hurricane destroyed a large portion of the building stock . By the mid - 1930s , an increase in construction was evident . The influx of writers , cartoonists , and winter residents began to transform this formerly sleepy agricultural town into a cosmopolitan resort community ; this period was considered Delray Beach ' s " Golden Age " (Mayhew 1990 : 12 ) . The evolution of the area ' s architecture was illustrated in the more understated Minimal Traditional , Bermuda , and Art Moderne buildings . The elaborate Mediterranean Revival buildings of the 1920s were considered somewhat passé and extravagant during these lean economic times . Even the design of the simple Masonry Vernacular houses from this era represent a transition between the late - 1920s architecture and the buildings of the 1930s and early - 1940s . World War II and Aftermath Construction dramatically increased during the years of 1941 through 1950 . The majority of the buildings documented in the survey area were constructed in this era . The United States participation in World War II returned prosperity back to communities throughout the country . Many former military personnel settled in JANUS RESEARCH page 36 V City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report Florida where they had been stationed or trained . Therefore , the later years of the 1940s , following the conclusion of the War , reveals a great amount of building activity . One - story Masonry Vernacular buildings as well as Minimal Traditional and Split-Level houses , were common building forms during these years . According to the City ' s Design Guidelines, Delray Beach ' s " [ s] treetscapes were altered by cement block, barracklike duplexes " and " the fabric , charm , and character were sacrificed for generic impersonal uniformity" (Mayhew 1990 : 12 ) . Despite the changes in architectural designs , the buildings of this time period still remain important to the community ' s planning and development . Modern The Modern era begins in 1950 and extends through the present day . Fifty ( 50 ) buildings in the survey were constructed in this time period , and therefore , they represent the post -war construction boom in Delray Beach . Masonry Vernacular buildings remain as one of the predominant architectural styles of this era , but Split - Level and Minimal Traditional buildings are still found at this time . Several Contemporary- style houses with their asymmetrical facades and flat roofs are indicative of the modern influences of the International style and new building materials and technology of the time . Historic and Present Functions of Surveyed Resources Tables 2 and 3 outline the historic and present functions of all the historic resources identified during the survey . Historically , the uses ranged from private residence to movie theater , with the two most dominant uses being residential and commercial . Currently , the buildings again reflect diverse functions . Private residences are the most common buildings found in the survey area . However , several new uses have appeared in the survey area during the last fifty years including restaurants and daycare facilities . These new functions likely represent the adaptive use of historically residential buildings .

The Dell Park neighborhood , generally bounded by George Bush Boulevard , NE 13 ' h Street , Swinton Avenue , and NE 3rd Avenue , could be designated as a local historic district . The Atlantic Avenue commercial corridor also has the potential to be listed locally , if there is adequate owner support . The Osceola Park neighborhood , roughly bounded by SE 2nd Street , SE 10th Street , Swinton Avenue , and SE 5th Avenue , does not maintain the integrity or concentration of historic buildings to be designated as a local historic district , but it could possibly be incorporated into a conservation district ( See page 89 for a definition of conservation districts ) . Many historic resources in Delray Beach ' s beach area , located between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean , were also documented during this survey . Several individual buildings and a small historic district are locally designated in this section of the City at this time . The following fourteen additional buildings were considered potentially individually eligible for local and/or National Register -listing based on their historical and/or architectural significance : r 1017 Tamarind Road • ➢ 900 Melaluca Road 1152 Lowry Street f 1158 Lowry Street 1150 Lowry Street 1101 Thomas Street a:' 1111 Thomas Street 7ANUS RESEARCH page 38 I V City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report 1116 Thomas Street ✓ 107 Sea Breeze Avenue • 137 Sea Breeze Avenue 'v 514 N Ocean Avenue 602 N Ocean Avenue ➢ 123 E Atlantic Avenue kr 290 E Atlantic Avenue The Marina Historic District was locally designated in 1988 .

J REPRESENTATIVE ARCHITECTURAL STYLES J - o s i U a CO tA i Y O 1 V City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report REPRESENTATIVE ARCHITECTURAL STYLES The architecture of a building is described as a style composed of its overall form and decorative ornamentation . An architectural style reflects the prevailing needs I and tastes of the time in which it is constructed , contributing to an understanding of the culture and society of that period . In respect to defining an architectural style , two primary elements should be considered : decoration and overall form . Decoration consists of ornamentation that is placed on a building . The design of the overall form involves the interplay of proportion , scale , massing , symmetry or asymmetry , as well as the relationships between solids and voids , or height , depth , and width . Within Delray Beach , the historic resources are represented by several architectural styles and encompass a wide range of building forms . Professional builders who were influenced by traditional building techniques and contemporary stylistic characteristics constructed many of the structures ; however , numerous buildings were also built by non-professional builders or the building owners . Various buildings dating from the Land Boom-era of the 1920s through 1950 exhibit more ornate designs and detailing and may have been designed by trained architects . The styles found in the survey area were popular throughout the United States during their periods of construction. In the twentieth century , architectural pattern books available to wide audiences and the mass production of building materials and architectural elements facilitated the widespread application of various styles . In addition , improved means of transportation allowed builders across country access to these materials and products . The 393 historic resources identified in Delray Beach can be categorized as the following styles : Masonry Vernacular , Mission , Craftsman/Bungalow , Frame Vernacular , Minimal Traditional , Ranch , Bermuda , Monterey , Split -Level , Colonial Revival , International , Art Moderne , and Modern . Most of the historic buildings found in the survey area possess vernacular designs , which means they do not exhibit distinct " high- style " features . 176 buildings are classified as Masonry Vernacular . The second -most common building style is represented by ninety- two ( 92 ) Frame Vernacular buildings . The remaining resources are comprised of forty- six ( (46 ) Minimal Traditional buildings , thirty- three ( 33 ) Mission buildings , twelve ( 12 ) Ranch style houses , six ( 6 ) each of Colonial Revival and Bermuda residences , five ( 5 ) Monterey and Split-Level houses , three ( 3 ) each of International and Contemporary buildings , and one ( 1 ) Art Moderne building . One historic resource , Veterans Park, does not exhibit an architectural style and two buildings ' styles could not be identified because they were not visible from the public right -of-way . I 6fre • r I • JANUS RESEARCH page 40 V City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report p MASONRY VERNACULAR Residential Buildings 176 examples of Masonry Vernacular buildings are extant within the survey area ; this stylistic category includes both residential and commercial buildings . The term " Masonry Vernacular style " is somewhat a misnomer as "vernacular" implies a lack of style . To be more accurate , vernacular houses are designed without imitating a specific style , but they do reflect stylistic influences . Masonry Vernacular buildings tend to be simple , largely unornamented , and constructed out of readily available materials . Masonry Vernacular houses share many of the same characteristics with those constructed in the Frame Vernacular style . Modest in design , these buildings were often designed by non-professionals , but numerous examples were constructed by professional builders and contractors . Masonry Vernacular dwellings of the 1920s and 1930s were often influenced by the Spanish or Art Deco architectural designs of the time . During this period , the predominant masonry building materials were hollow clay tile and brick. The stylistic influences of the Spanish or Art Deco architecture are illustrated through the use of flat roofs and the use of stucco on the exterior walls . Wood double -hung sash windows were often found in these earlier examples of the Masonry Vernacular style . Although Delray Beach possesses several 1920s and 1930s Masonry Vernacular buildings , the majority of these buildings date from the World War II and Aftermath- era of the 1940s . In the 1940s , concrete block was the most popular building material in Florida' s residential areas . Masonry Vernacular buildings from this era possess shallow pitched gabled or cross -gabled roofs ; however , Delray Beach has several examples that exhibit hipped or flat roofs . The concrete block walls are often covered with a smooth stucco veneer . Occasionally , horizontal bands are scored into the stucco . Decoration is simple and limited usually to string courses , window and door lintels , decorative bricks , vents , exposed rafter tails , and shutters . Fenestration consists of various types of metal window types including casements , single -hung sashes , fixed windows , awnings , jalousies , or bay windows . Characteristics : • Plan : regular , rectangular . • Foundation : continuous concrete ; slab concrete . • Height : one - story . • Primary Exterior Materials : smoothly scored stucco ; concrete block. • Roof Type : gabled ; hipped ; cross -gabled ; flat . • Roof Surfacing : composition shingles ; concrete tiles . • Fenestration : wood double -hung sash windows ; metal casement windows ; fixed windows ; bay windows ; awning windows ; jalousie windows . • Detailing : simple ; attic vents , sometimes cast concrete vents embellished with palm tree or floral motifs ; scoring in stucco ; window lintels ; decorative shutters ; exposed rafter tails ; brick sills and planters . • / ANUS RESEARCH page 41 V City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report 2., i ' 4 2f4 ,- • i ' 7 4 - - _ '. .

Commercial Buildings The majority of the commercial buildings within the survey area are considered to be Masonry Vernacular in style . Almost all of these buildings are located along Atlantic Avenue , the City ' s main commercial thoroughfare . Several of the Masonry Vernacular commercial buildings were constructed in the 1920s , but the bulk of these were built in the 1940s . Certain design constraints often influenced the design of commercial architecture . Most commercial buildings were located in a central business area where the land values were high . Subsequently , commercial buildings were built very _ I close to one another and often shared party walls with the adjacent buildings . Also , the buildings are typically narrowly massed . Many of the Masonry Vernacular commercial buildings along Atlantic Avenue have undergone modifications , but they still convey their historic character through the remaining historic characteristics . One - to two - stories in height , the structural systems are comprised of concrete blocks . The exterior walls are generally covered in 3 7 stucco and the roofs are flat . Large metal frame , fixed glass display windows are found on the first floor . Sometimes decorative coping is located at the roofline . Today , most of the buildings have modern cloth awnings over the storefront windows .

JANUS RESEARCH page 48 1 V City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report FRAME VERNACULAR r Ninety - three ( 93 ) examples of the Frame Vernacular style are located within Delray Beach . The Frame Vernacular buildings in the survey area were predominantly constructed between the early - 1920s and late - 1940s . Like Masonry Vernacular buildings , they are often built by non- professionals and , in many cases , by the occupants themselves . In the project area , most of the Frame Vernacular buildings are one - story in height and constructed as wood frame structural systems set on continuous or slab concrete foundations . Gabled roofs are the most common roof type , followed by hipped roofs . The roofs are usually clad in composition shingles . The exterior cladding is most often weatherboard or wood drop siding . Vinyl and asbestos siding are the modern replacement materials found on the exterior of many Frame Vernacular houses . Windows range from wood double - hung sashes to metal awning and jalousie windows . Ornamentation is usually limited to wood rafter tails underneath the roof eaves , cornerboards , vents in the gable ends , and shutters . Simple wood door and window surrounds are also found on these buildings . The Frame Vernacular buildings constructed in the earlier part of the twentieth century oftentimes exhibit Craftsman influences such as the exposed rafter tails and wide overhanging roof eaves . The later Frame Vernacular residences of the 1930s and 1940s are commonly more modest than their predecessors and display no roof overhangs and even fewer decorative elements . Several 1940s era Frame Vernacular buildings are located on 4th Avenue in the Osceola Park neighborhood . These simple residences were moved from the Boca Raton Army Air Field after World War II and represent the utilitarian architecture of that period . Characteristics : • Plan : regular , rectangular . • Foundation : continuous concrete ; slab concrete . • Height : one - story . • Primary Exterior Materials : horizontal wood siding- - weatherboard or drop ; vinyl or aluminum replacement siding . • Roof Type : gabled ; hipped . • Roof Surfacing : composition shingles . • Fenestration : wood frame double - hung sash windows ; metal awning ; metal single - hung sash ; jalousie . • Detailing : simple ; exposed wood rafter tails underneath roof eaves ; wood windows surrounds ; attic vents ; cornerboards ; shutters . y, 4 k • �� x JANUS RESEARCH page 49 f • V City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report } p . 44 • ' _ ! + 7 � . • n1.4 • y 1 . tn41 ..

In the 1930s , during the Great Depression era , Minimal Traditional houses appeared throughout the country as architectural journals and magazines promoted this house style . Although the simplicity of this style was a subtle response to the economic hardships of the Depression and the ornate styles of the 1920s , Minimal Traditional buildings still reflect a combination of influences from earlier traditional house styles such as Tudor or Colonial Revival . Within Delray Beach , in the 1930s , notable architects of the Palm Beaches such as John Volk , Gustav Maass , Samuel Ogren , and Henry Pope encouraged a " resort style of architecture . " This resort - like atmosphere is illustrated in the modest Minimal Traditional homes of the area , which are often identified as " Cottage Style . " Common attributes of the style include low or moderate roof pitches , very little roof overhang , and front - facing gables . Typically these one - story houses also have prominent exterior chimneys , wood double - hung sash windows , vents or decorative wood in the gable ends , and Colonial influences such as door surrounds and shutters . Other common decorative features include exposed rafter tails and cornerboards . In Delray Beach , characteristics specific to the area include white I exterior paint color and inset porches with ornamental porch railings . Several of Delray Beach ' s historic Minimal Traditional homes are now used in a commercial capacity , especially along SE 5th Avenue . Characteristics : • Plan : regular , rectangular . • Foundation : continuous concrete ; slab concrete . • Height : one - story . • Primary Exterior Materials : horizontal wood siding - -weatherboard ; stucco ; vinyl or aluminum replacement siding . • Roof Type : low - pitched , cross - gabled . • Roof Surfacing : composition shingles ; concrete tiles . • Fenestration : wood frame double - hung sash windows ; metal fixed windows ; metal awning windows . • Detailing : vents in gable end ; vertical wood in gable end ; window and door surrounds ; shutters ; rafter tails ; cornerboards .

The Mission style can be traced back to the California mission churches e stablished by Father Junipero Serra during the 1700s . These missions were built one day' s walk apart and were a symbol of Spain' s claim to the New World . Originating in California during the 1890s , houses and buildings in this style were being constructed throughout the western states . Popular during the 1890 - 1920 period , it is regarded as the West ' s design parallel to the Georgian Revival of the East . As fashionable architects and magazines began promoting the Mission style , it spread e astward . Like California , Florida embraced its Spanish heritage for architectural inspiration . During the first two decades of the twentieth century , the influences from the Craftsman style , or Bungalow , building type were also evident in the smaller residential Mission prototypes . Within south Florida , the Mission style was among the most dominant style during the years surrounding the Florida Land Boom . In the survey area , this building style can be found in the Dell Park and Osceola Park neighborhoods and the Marina Historic District . The beach area as well as Atlantic Avenue also feature Mission buildings . Flat roofs obscured by parapets on the main or porch roof are the main identifying characteristic of the style . The Mission buildings typically exhibit very simple parapets ; some parapets have a curvilinear design . Other distinctive features of the style are tiled pent or visor roofs and stucco facades . Additional Mission traits include simple forms , tiled copings , and scuppers and vents near the rooflines . Many of these characteristics are also identified with the Mediterranean Revival style . The line between the two styles is somewhat blurred ; the main distinction is the absence of ornamentation in the Mission style . Simple and less formal than the variants of Mediterranean architecture , Mission 1 structures emphasize texture and substance over extraneous detail and style . Characteristics : • Plan : irregular . • Foundation : continuous concrete ; slab concrete . • Height : one - to two - stories . • Primary Exterior Material : stucco , occasionally roughly scored . • Roof Type : flat with shaped parapets ; pent or visor ; hipped . • Roof Detailing : red barrel tile . • Fenestration : wood frame double -hung sash windows with a one - over- one light configuration; multi-paned wood frame casement windows . • Detailing : cast concrete , plaster , and terra cotta ornamentation ; arched windows ; roof scuppers ; exposed wood rafter tails underneath roof eaves ; elaborated chimney tops .

This style originated in California during the mid - 1930s and continued to be constructed through the mid - 1970s . The popularity of this style is attributed to the increased dependence on automobiles after World War II and the cheaper land prices of the post - war era . Because of these reasons , the sprawling houses could be constructed on large lots outside of the central core of the cities . Also , following the War , the booming economy allowed property owners to build or buy homes larger than the ones constructed during the Depression and War years . The faint influence of Spanish Colonial , Prairie , and the Craftsman architecture can be seen in Ranch style buildings . In Delray Beach ' s Ranch houses , the influence of the Art Moderne style is also evident . The one - story buildings generally have an asymmetrical front elevation and a horizontal emphasis . They have low - pitched roofs that are typically hipped , but sometimes gabled . The roofs are usually sheathed in concrete tiles and the exterior is covered in a smooth stucco veneer . Fenestration consists of various metal windows including awning , fixed , and jalousie types . Ranch houses have few extraneous decorative features . f. kip !

I • }r i; JANUS RESEARCH page 61 I 1 v City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report BERMUDA Between the 1930s and early - 1940s , the Bermuda style was commonly found among Delray Beach ' s residential architecture . Within the survey area there are six ( 6 ) examples of the Bermuda style . In the lean years of the Great Depression , less elaborate buildings made economic sense and appealed to the aesthetic tastes of the growing resort community . In addition , the climatic demands of the area needed an architectural style that was well suited for the tropical environment . Subsequently , the Bermuda style was introduced to south Florida by the areas ' most prominent architects such as Pope and Blake , Samuel Ogren , Sr . , and John Volk ( Mayhew 1990 : 23 ) . Mostly found along the beaches and Intracoastal Waterway , these one - and two - story _ residences are constructed of concrete blocks , and the smooth stucco exteriors are almost always painted white . At least two examples of the Bermuda style found in the survey area have weatherboard siding . To carry over the cool appearance of an all -white exterior , the roofs often feature white concrete tiles . Other characteristics of the style include Classical details , such as fanlights over the doors ; shuttered windows ; prominent chimneys with pointed chimney caps ; and rafter tails underneath the roof eaves .

Like the Bermuda style , the Colonial Revival buildings surveyed were primarily constructed in the 1930s and 1940s . The early origin of this style can be derived from the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition of 1876 , where many Colonial - inspired buildings were interpreted . Twentieth century Colonial Revival buildings are usually free interpretations of the original precedents ; therefore , 1: T elements of Georgian , Federal , or Adam styles are often combined . UP JANUS RESEARCH page 63 y \ 1 •_ iV City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report I Within the survey area , most of the Colonial Revival buildings feature weatherboard siding . The gabled or hipped roofs are typically covered in composition shingles , but some still maintain wood shingled roofs . Fenestration consists of wood frame double - hung sash windows . The entrances are one of the most prominent features with fanlights or pediments topping the doors and elaborated door surrounds . Other Idetails include shutters , rafter tails , cornerboards , and vents . 1 I 1 4 ; GL' • i� - • • - . 4 ` i'. x ,71 tk+ : 4 ttnid f j a:0. . ) ttl‘ / I jar4 trr . rt.-- :4 .

The survey area contains five ( 5 ) examples of the style that are located in the Marina Historic District and the beach area . This style was derived from the Spanish Colonial houses of northern California , but commonly combined Spanish Eclectic elements with Colonial Revival details . In Florida , Monterey buildings can be found in the nearby municipalities of Palm Beach , West Palm Beach , and Lake Worth . One of the key features of the Monterey style is the second floor porch that cantilevers over the first floor . The Monterey houses in the project area also feature a variety of exterior materials such as stucco , brick , weatherboard , and board and batten . The low - pitched roof shapes range from gabled to hipped and are covered with composition shingles or concrete tiles . These houses mostly have wood frame windows that are double - hung sash or casement types . Detailing includes exposed rafter tails , cornerboards , and shutters . .f a • mow '"'Kt., : 7 rP . l , 1. \ ' K Z � . w. % ' • , r.~i ; d- d .y� m .. M ' � . , a J 4 . ,.

These houses were commonly constructed in Florida during the first three decades of the twentieth century . Historically , the term "Bungalow " was taken from the Bengalese "bangla " or "banggolo , " a peasant hut adopted by the British in India as a wayside shelter for travelers during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries . The characteristics of these buildings were imported from Far East countries including India and Japan . Defining elements of the style such as the display of structural members and the interplay of angles and planes were shown at the California Mid - Winter Exposition of 1894 exhibition on Japanese construction techniques . This house type is particularly well - suited to the climatic conditions of Florida , and no regional modifications in the style are apparent . In fact , many features of Florida ' s Frame Vernacular architecture such as wide eave overhangs , deep wrap - around porches , and interpenetration of interior and exterior spaces were integral to the Bungalow style . The rapid growth of Florida from the 1900 ' s to the 1930 ' s , when the Bungalow style flourished , means that houses of this type are very common throughout the State . Indicative of the Bungalows ' importance in Delray Beach , a 1925 newspaper article claimed the " bungalow age is here , and Delray , the ' Ocean City ' , ranks most favorably with other cities in the number being constructed .

The historic resource survey conducted as part of this project is an important phase in the identification and preservation of the city ' s buildings . The results of the survey including the Florida Master Site File forms , recommendations , and final report are designed to educate property owners , surrounding communities , city and county staff, and municipal officials about Delray Beach ' s valuable resources . This section includes suggested measures that the City can apply towards the preservation of their historic resources . Also provided within this section is a review of existing preservation methods employed by the City of Delray Beach and additional an explanation of means that can be used to protect the resources identified in this survey . Recommendations • Copies of the City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report and the associated Florida Master Site File (FMSF) forms completed during the course of this project should be maintained and available for public use . The most logical location for these materials is the Delray Beach City Hall . The City ' s Historic Preservation Planner should directly maintain these documents . It would also be advantageous to have copies of the final report at the city library and the Delray Beach Historical Society . Copies of the FMSF forms should be accessible for property owners and interested residents . • Although two large - scale historic resource surveys , this project and the 1987 Delray Beach Historic Sites Survey , have been conducted within the City of Delray Beach, the remaining historic properties found in the city limits should be documented . Following this report , over 600 historic resources will have been recorded on FMSF forms , but there are still approximately 900 additional unrecorded historic buildings according to the city ' s tax records . The remaining historic buildings should be surveyed and documented on FMSF forms , and it is suggested the City once again pursue grants provided by the Bureau of Historic Preservation . It is hoped the maps of the current survey area will help the City determine the sections of Delray Beach that need to be surveyed in the future . • The City of Delray Beach in conjunction with the Historic Preservation Board should utilize the information in this report as well as the FMSF forms to seek the following designations : 1 . Local Historic District designation for the Dell Park neighborhood ( see Figure 10 which shows the potential contributing and non- contributing resources within the neighborhood ) ; 2 . Local Conservation District designation for the Osceola Park neighborhood ( please see discussion of Conservation Districts following these recommendations ) ; 3 .

Local Historic District designation for the Atlantic Avenue commercial corridor . The City may choose to notify property owners that they are within an area that has been recommended as a potential district , or that they own a building potentially eligible for Local or National Register designation on an individual basis . • The locally listed Marina Historic District should be updated now that the survey of the area has been completed . At the conclusion of the survey , numerous resources that were not considered historic at the time of the 1988 designation are now eligible for inclusion within the local historic district . The amendment of this district will make the neighborhood more aware of the historic resources dating from the later 1940s through 1950 , and will also provide protection for these buildings . • Community awareness and understanding of Delray Beach ' s historic resources needs to be enhanced . At this time , the City of Delray Beach has a successful historic preservation planning program . However , many property owners and potential property buyers still do not fully realize the value of historic buildings and the benefits of preserving these resources . Therefore , an expanded public relations program should be implemented . It is recommended that the various local organizations combine their efforts to achieve this goal . Suggested marketing tools include : ➢ walking tours of the various local historic districts with brochures containing history and photographs of the areas , this could include working with the local historical society and acquiring grants from the Bureau of Historic Preservation to produce the brochures ; ➢ educational programs on the various aspects of historic preservation - -this could include having lectures , seminars , hands- on workshops or guest speakers talk about different subjects such the economic benefits of historic preservation or the importance of late -twentieth century architecture in Delray Beach ; ➢ notification to new property owners within local historic districts about the benefits of historic property ownership , the financial incentives offered to historic property owners , and the regulations involved in locally designated historic districts , this can include working with the local minority organizations ; ➢ newsletter sent out to all historic property owners that is prepared by the City of Delray Beach, the Historic Preservation Board , and the Delray Beach Historical Society ; ➢ walking or driving tours of potential historic districts or endangered historic resources ; ➢ sign or marker program implemented in conjunction with the Bureau of Historic Preservation , the Florida Department of Transportation , and the City that would identify historic districts , individually significant buildings , • sites of important historical events , or archaeological resources , a brochure or pamphlet could be created to guide visitors to the various signs or markers . JANUS RESEARCH page 88 V City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report Recommended Tools for Historic Preservation • Conservation Districts A local historic preservation ordinance that allows the designation of historic districts and individual buildings is the most effective form of protecting a community ' s historic resources ; however , conservation districts can be used as an alternative protective measure for neighborhoods in a variety of situations . Conservation districts can be applied to areas that do not meet the architectural or density requirements of traditional historic districts , for older and distinctive neighborhoods that are not yet fifty years old , and for low - to moderate -income neighborhoods . Conservation districts provide the following benefits : • a municipal policy for the protection of older properties outside of historic districts ; • enables the preservation of older neighborhoods ' character ; • establishes an objective selection criteria similar to that criteria used for historic districts ; • tailors design guidelines to the degree of regulation desired by the neighborhood ; typically , new construction and additions are regulated , while general repairs and maintenance are not regulated ; • authorizes design guidelines for conservation districts generally , or allows them to be specific to each district ; • provides an alternative method to preserve many older areas that have experienced some deterioration, demolition , or incompatible alterations ; and • stabilizes declining neighborhoods and protects and enhances property values . Areas such as the Osceola Park neighborhood could possibly benefit from designation as a conservation district . Should the City of Delray Beach decide that conservation districts are an option for preservation planning , there are several important considerations in creating an ordinance . Selection criteria , level of consent , administration , availability of tax incentives , and its relationship to existing programs should be determined when formulating a conservation district element to the historic preservation ordinance . REVIEW OF EXISTING HISTORIC PRESERVATION EFFORTS Janus Research has conducted a review of extant historic preservation efforts being carried out by local governments throughout the State of Florida . In looking at the effectiveness and success of various preservation efforts , we also evaluated the City of Delray Beach ' s preservation program and activities . The following review outlines what the City is presently doing to preserve and protect the local historic resources . Any additional suggestions are incorporated into this section under the appropriate headings . Identification, Documentation, and Evaluation of Historic Resources According to the National Register , a historic property or historic resource is defined as a district , site , building , structure , or object significant in American history , JANUS RESEARCH page 89 V City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report architecture , engineering , archaeology or culture at the national , state , or local level . The initial effort of identifying , documenting , and evaluating historic resources is important because it recognizes the community ' s resources , provides the basis for future planning of these resources , and helps to define the historic character of a community . Historic Resource Survey A historic resource survey includes identifying and gathering data on a community ' s historic resources . The survey process involves a field survey and background research . Upon the completion of the physical survey and research , an inventory of the data is prepared and the historic resources are evaluated , generally according to the National Register of Historic Places criteria . Delray Beach is fortunate to have two large- scale surveys including the one prepared in conjunction with this report and the Delray Beach Historic Site Survey that was completed in 1987 . Florida Master Site File The Florida Master Site File (FMSF) is the State of Florida ' s official repository of information on historic buildings and structures , archaeological sites , and historic resource surveys . The Florida Master Site File actually describes the paper and computer files administered by the Division of Historical Resources in Tallahassee . The Florida Master Site File process allows for the recordation of all historic resources , even if they are ineligible for inclusion in the National Register . The basic mission of the Florida Master Site File is to receive , validate , store , and distribute information on Florida history . At this time , Delray Beach has approximately 270 historic resources listed in the Florida Master Site File , and the 393 historic resources surveyed during this project will also be submitted to the State ' s Site File office . National Register of Historic Places The National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) can be defined as a " national record of cultural resources worthy of preservation . " Administered by the National Park Service within the U . S . Department of the Interior , the National Register recognizes historic buildings , structures , sites , objects , and districts as valuable resources . National Register listing provides recognition of a property ' s architectural , historical or archaeological significance and offers a minimal amount of protection for the historic resource ; essentially , listing is honorary . There are various methods for nominating properties to the National Register including individual nomination , historic district , and a multiple property submission. The criteria used to evaluate historic resources ' eligibility to the NRHP is located on pages 14 and 15 of this report . Listing in the NRHP makes properties eligible for local and federal financial incentives as well as grants -in-aid . The Milton-Myers American Legion Post No . 65 (PB418 ) ; the Seaboard Airline Railroad Station (PB228 ) ; the buildings at Old School Square ; and the John and Elizabeth Shaw Sundy House (PB7510 ) are resources within Delray Beach that are listed in the NRHP . Additional resources that are potentially eligible for individual listing are found on pages 38 and 39 . Preservation Measures Used by Local Government Local Historic Preservation Ordinance A local historic preservation ordinance is typically the most effective form of protecting a community ' s historic resources . Delray Beach ' s local ordinance , which JANUS RESEARCH page 90 � c V City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report is included within the City ' s Land Development Regulations , provides the following benefits : • a municipal policy for the protection of historic properties ; • an objective and democratic process for designating historic properties ; • protection of the integrity of designated historic properties by requiring design review ; • design guidelines for new development within historic districts to ensure that it is not destructive to the area ' s historic character ; • protection for historic properties by restricting demolition and the property owner ' s rights by allowing economic hardship waivers ; and • stabilization within declining neighborhoods and protection and enhancement for property values . A preservation ordinance sometimes falls under the guise of interfering with homeowners and the freedom to control their private property . This is a false assumption . The following list encompasses items that do not fall under a preservation ordinance : • does not require that historic properties be opened for tours ; • does not restrict the sale of property ; • does not require improvements , changes , or restoration of property ; and • does not prevent new construction within historic districts . Local Register of Historic Places As part of their historic preservation ordinance , the City of Delray Beach adopted a clause which enables them to designate properties of historic , cultural , aesthetic , and/or architectural significance at the local level . Local designations are different from National Register of Historic Places designations in that the designated properties come under the jurisdiction of the local preservation ordinance , and therefore , are protected through local recognition, a design review process , and community planning . At this time , there are twenty-one individual buildings and five historic districts listed in the City of Delray Beach ' s Local Register . The City or the Historic Preservation Board initiated most of the local designations , and there is presently a great deal of resistance against local designations , based mostly on misconceptions regarding the regulatory requirements of designation. Ad Valorem Tax Exemption for Historic Properties As part of the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Ordinance , City and county tax exemptions are offered for 100% of the increase in assessed value resulting from any renovation, restoration or rehabilitation of the qualifying property . This tax exemption applies to qualified historic buildings , which means they must be listed in the NRHP individually , a contributing building in a local or NRHP historic district , or locally listed on an individual basis . Tax incentives may result in the following benefits : • no risk of increased assessed value for local tax purposes ; • rewards homeowners to maintain their homes ; • increases the market value of the property ; • enhances the historic character of the neighborhood ; and i'r JANUS RESEARCH page 91 • V City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report • stabilizes declining neighborhoods without penalizing homeowners with higher assessed values for tax purposes . Presently , the City of Delray Beach has eight property owners that are in the process of obtaining tax exemptions for the improvements made to their historic buildings . Design Guidelines In 1990 , Design Guidelines for Historic Places: A Preservation Manual was developed with financial assistance provided by the Bureau of Historic Preservation . Delray Beach' s guidelines involved participation from the community and were based on the unique qualities and common characteristics of the local resources . These design guidelines cover new construction and discuss changes to historic buildings in general terms following the Secretary of the Interior 's Standards for Rehabilitation . The design guidelines were created to work in conjunction with the City ' s historic preservation ordinance and establish standards to be used when reviewing changes to historic architectural resources . They assist property owners , City staff, and the Historic Preservation Board in making recommendations regarding improvements to the visual qualities of historic buildings . The City staff and Historic Preservation Board feel that the design guidelines work well . They use the guidelines in conjunction with the Secretary of the Interior 's Standards for Rehabilitation illustrated guide . Historic Preservation Element Current state law requires all units of local government to adopt a comprehensive plan that provides guidelines for land use decisions . Under the present law , a historic preservation and scenic element is permitted as an optional element in the comprehensive plan . The element should identify historic and cultural resources and prescribe policies for managing them . An effective preservation element integrates plans to preserve and enhance historic resources with plans designed to improve and manage other community elements , such as housing , transportation , and utilities . Presently , the City of Delray Beach incorporates their historic preservation element within another portion of the City ' s comprehensive plan . In the future , if the City decides to develop a separate preservation element , the community may be able to give historic preservation issues additional focus and visibility . The Division of Historical Resources recommends the following components for inclusion in a comprehensive plan : • designation of historic districts and historically significant properties , and sites listed in the National Register of Historic Places , Florida Master Site File , or have been locally designated as significant ; • procedures to base such designations on the results of studies and surveys and other data ; • identification of historic district boundaries and all other known historic resources on land use maps or a map series ; • goals , policies , and measurable objectives for mapped resources ; • goals , policies , and measurable objectives , for the identification , evaluation , and recordation of presently unrecorded historic resources ; and • designation of areas requiring special zoning . JANUS RESEARCH page 92 � E ♦ City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report An additional recommendation from the State is that archaeological and historically sensitive sites and properties be identified and depicted on present and future land u se maps so they are included in the planning process . Certified Local Government The City of Delray Beach is a Certified Local Government ( CLG) which also provides a local entity with protection for its historic resources under local , state , and federal law . In order to gain CLG status , five criteria must be met : • a local historic preservation ordinance must be passed ; • a historic preservation commission must be formed to review design decisions for individual structures in designated districts ; • a system for survey and inventory of historic properties that further the purpose of the National Historic Preservation Act must be maintained ; • adequate public participation in the local historic preservation program must be provided for ; and • responsibilities delegated to the CLG under the National Historic Preservation Act must be satisfactorily performed . The benefits of becoming a CLG in the state of Florida include : • eligibility to apply for federal historic preservation grants and money available only to CLGs ; • direct participation in the National Register of Historic Places program through review of local nomination prior to their consideration by the Florida National Register Review Board ; • the opportunity to receive technical assistance in historic preservation procedures through workshops , informational material , statewide meetings , training sessions , and conferences ; and • improved communication and coordination with local and state preservation activities . Zoning Zoning is often used to regulate the use of land and structures in a given area , as well as determining dimensional characteristics such as minimum lot sizes , the placement of structures in a given area , the placement of structures on lots , and the maximum height of buildings . In addition , zoning ordinances increasingly regulate non- dimensional aspects of development such as landscaping , architectural design and features , and signage . Within Delray Beach , areas such as the Old School Square Historic Arts District is a special zoning district which allows mixed uses within the district such as residential and commercial or artists ' studios . The Historic Preservation Board frequently uses variances in the local historic districts to allow driveways , setbacks for porches , and reduced side setbacks that would not ordinarily be accepted under current zoning regulations . t Sign and Landscape Regulations The regulation of signs by local governments can protect the historic character of the central business district as well as other historic corridors that may be affected by inappropriate or oversized signage . Delray Beach ' s Historic Preservation Board j JANUS RESEARCH page 93 l J v City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report reviews the size , materials , and appearance of signs within the local historic districts . For new development , landscaping is also reviewed by the Historic Preservation Board . Heritage Tourism and Education Heritage tourism consists of historic , natural , and cultural attractions within a community . In Palm Beach County , as well as the state of Florida , tourism is considered to be an important component of economic success . It is recognized that the preservation of historic homes and the revitalization of downtown areas contribute to the flow of tourism throughout the state . Heritage education is used to inform the public about the history of an area . Both children and adults can learn how to recognize the abundance of sites and objects in their community that document their history and link them to their region , nation and world . Heritage education can be achieved through local programs such as museum activities , school programs , and walking tours . The Delray Beach Historical Society currently has an educational program for the local school children . A goal of the Historic Preservation Board is to further encourage awareness of the City ' s historic resources among visitors and residents . This objective will hopefully be achieved through an increase in heritage tourism and education . Financial Incentives for Historic Preservation Tax credits , grants , loans , and mortgages are some examples of financial incentives available for preservation projects . These incentives can come from various public agencies and private foundations . Rehabilitation, restoration , planning , community activities , preservation consulting , and preservation education are some examples of assistance . Funding sources are a particularly important aspect of preservation activity ; in many cases they are the catalyst and only financial support for preservation projects . It is important for the applicant searching for preservation funding to : • clearly define the project ; and • approach the funding sources that correspond with the project . The following is a broad overview of available financial incentives designed to further historic preservation efforts in the State of Florida and Palm Beach County . The list is a basis for further exploration and is not all inclusive . The Bureau of Historic Preservation can provide additional information concerning the following programs and other incentives offered by state and federal agencies . Federal Preservation Tax Incentives The Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 established a tax credit for rehabilitating historic buildings , based on a three -tiered system . In 1986 , this act was amended to accommodate a two -tiered system . The federal income tax credit is equal to : JANUS RESEARCH page 94 • 1 J V City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report • twenty percent of the cost of rehabilitating historic buildings ( fifty years or older) ; and • ten percent of the cost of rehabilitating nonhistoric buildings more than fifty years old . Only properties used for industrial , commercial , or rental residential purposes qualify for the federal income tax credit . Charitable Contribution Deduction The charitable contribution deduction, taken in the form of a conservation easement , e nables property owners to receive a one -time tax deduction . This conservation e asement , which commonly involves preservation of a building ' s facade by restricting alterations , protects the integrity of the building , while allowing the property owner to benefit from a tax deduction. The charitable contribution deduction is available to owners of income -producing properties and private residences . Low -Income Housing Credits The 1986 Act provides for special relief for investors in certain low -income housing projects that are comprised of historic buildings . National Trust for Historic Preservation Funding • The National Preservation Loan Fund The National Preservation Loan Fund provides below - market loans to non - profit organizations and public agencies to help preserve properties listed in or eligible for the National Register . Funds may used to create or expand local and statewide preservation funds for site acquisition or rehabilitation work . - Preservation Services Fund The Preservation Services Fund offers small matching grants to non - profit organizations , universities , and public agencies to initiate preservation projects . Funds may be used for heritage education or for consultants projects : preservation plans , historic resource reports , and feasibility studies . The Department of Housing and Urban Development • Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)/Small Cities Program The CBDG program provides annual grants on a formula basis to entitled communities to carry out a wide range of community development activities directed toward neighborhood revitalization , economic development , and improved community facilities and services . These funds may be used for acquisition , rehabilitation , construction , and code enforcement . • Restoration Rehabilitation Financing - 203 (k) Funding The Federal Housing Administration has established the 203 ( k) program for rehabilitation and repair of single - family properties . The objective of the program is to promote and facilitate the restoration and preservation of the nation ' s existing housing . This program promotes not only permanent financing for the property , but allows the borrower to receive funds for rehabilitation at the same time and interest rate . JANUS RESEARCH page 95 e J ♦ City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report State Bureau of Historic Preservation, Historical Resource Grants -In-Aid Programs Grants are money given for special projects and usually require matching funds from the non -profit organization . Three grants are available from the State Bureau of Historic Preservation. They are Historic Preservation Grants , Museum Grants , and Special Category Grants . The City of Delray Beach used a Historic Preservation Grant to fund this survey and report . The Special Category Grant is a grant ranging from $ 50 , 000 to $ 250 , 000 approved by the legislature . A previous local cost share over the previous five years must be shown to qualify for this grant . This large grant is available for projects such as an extensive museum exhibit , a large restoration project , or a major archaeological excavation . Applications are available on line on the state ' s web page at http : //dhr . dos . state . fl . us/bhp/grants /index . html . Or you may contact them at the following address : Division of Historical Resources , Bureau of Historic Preservation , 500 S . Bronough St . , Tallahassee , Florida 32399 - 0250 . Their phone number is 850 - 488 - 1484 . Information on obtaining grants : Grant Title : Museum Grants Funding Categories : Annual operating expenses , development of educational exhibits on Florida history Match Requirements : 50% Funding Cycle : October 1 - December 15 ( funds awarded after July 1 ) ; July 1 - August 31 ( funds available mid -January) Grant Title : Historic Preservation Grants Funding Categories : Survey of resources , community education , acquisition and development Match Requirements : 50% Funding Cycle : October 1 - December 15 ( funds awarded after July 1 ) ; July 1 - August 31 ( funds available mid-January) Grant Title : Special Category Grants Funding Categories : Major museum exhibits on Florida history , large restoration projects , major archaeological excavations Match Requirements : show substantial local cost share over the previous five years ; have $ 50 , 000 in reserve Funding Cycle : April 1 - May 31 ( funds available July 1 of the following year) Community Redevelopment Programs The Florida Legislature has adopted a number of statutes meant to stimulate redevelopment in blighted or depressed areas , otherwise known enterprise zones . • JANUS RESEARCH page 96 V City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report Since many of these areas contain historic buildings , these statutes are tool for rehabilitation and preservation . • Community Contribution Tax Incentive Program This program was created by the Florida Legislature to encourage corporate involvement in community revitalization . This credit explicitly includes historic preservation districts as both eligible sponsors and eligible locations for such - projects . The credit allows any corporation paying Florida corporate income tax or insurance premium tax to receive a tax credit for an approved community development of a historic preservation project . Legal Techniques for Historic Preservation Easements An easement involves a legal agreement between a non-profit organization and a property owner . The charitable organization holds the right to govern the present and future use of the property , and protects the building and/or land against potential adverse development or changes by acquiring partial interests while the property remains in private hands . The owner , in turn , enjoys the full use of the property subject only to the restrictions of the easement . The property owner is also entitled to a one -time charitable contribution deduction on his/her income tax return . Preservation easements are generally divided into three types : • Facade easement - protects the exterior features of a building by controlling alterations to the exterior and requiring proper maintenance . It also prevents demolition of the structure . • Interior easement - protects all or part of the interior of a building . This type of easement is not common due to the difficulty of reviewing interior spaces in residential or other privately used buildings . • Conservation easement - protects open spaces , historic and scenic views , the land surrounding significant structures and ecologically important land . Delray Beach ' s Community Redevelopment Agency ( CRA) developed a facade easement program . The National Register-listed Masonic Lodge is the only building that has participated in the program at this time . However , this is a tool the City would like to use to a greater degree to help protect significant historic resources . Covenants and Reverter Clauses Non-profit organizations that participate in real estate transactions often use covenants and reverter clauses as a method to preserve historic resources . Covenants , also known as deed restrictions , pertain to restrictions imposed on subsequent owners when a property is transferred , as opposed to easements which can be created without transfer of the fee title . Penalties for failure to adhere to restrictions may also be included within the covenant . A reverter clause is a stipulation within a deed that states that unless specified conditions are met , ownership of the property will revert to the conveyor or a designated third party . For organizations , covenants operate in the same fashion as easements and are commonly used with limited development and revolving funds . JANUS RESEARCH page 97 ♦ City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report 1 Revolving Funds I A revolving fund can be established for the purpose of preservation . The funds , accumulated from fund - raising , charitable gifts , and project proceeds , can be used to finance preservation activity . Revolving funds are often used for issuing short - term 1 loans for the purchase of endangered historic properties which can then be sold to I buyers who are subject to appropriate easements or maintenance agreements . Resale of properties and return on loans are put back into the organization ' s funds and l j allows the revenue to be revolved into new projects . 1 , I 1 _ I ii 1 I I I 1 1 l I JANUS RESEARCH page 98 BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES act s V a U) m >% a C 44 - O P I V City of Delray Beach Historic Resources Report BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES Britt , Lora Sinks . 1984 My Gold Coast : South Florida in Earlier Years .

Enclosed is a copy of the criteria under which properties are evaluated . L LISTED ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES Listing in the National Register results in the following for historic properties : , 1 ) Consideration in planning for Federal , federally licensed , and federally assisted projects . Section 106 L ON SEPTEMBER 4 , 1986 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 requires that Federal agencies allow the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation an opportunity to comment on all projects affecting historic prop- erties listed in the National Register. For further information please refer to 36 CFR 800. 2 ) Eligibility for Federal tax provisions . If a property is listed in the National Register certain Federal tax provisions may apply . The Economic Recovery Act, of 1981 , which revised the historic preserva - tion tax incentives authorized by Congress in the Tax Reform Act of 1976 , the Revenue Act of 1978 , and the ' Fax Treatment Extension Act of 1980 , provides for a 25 % investment tax credit for rehabilitating historic commercial , industrial and rental residential buildings instead of a 16 or 20 % Liii0; credit available for rehabilitation of non - historic building more than thirty years old . This can be I combined with a 16 -year cost recovery period for the adjusted basis of the building. Certified struc - tures with certified rehabilitations receive additional tax savings because owners are allowed to reduce the basis by one half the amount of the credit . The Tax Treatment Extension Act of 1080 provides Federal tax deductions for charitable contributions for conservation purposes of partial interests in historically important land areas or structures . For further information please refer toI i . 36 CFR 67 . 3 ) Consideration of historic values in the decision to issue a surface coal mining permit where coal is located , in accord with the Surface Mining and Control Act of 1977 . For further information please refer to 30 CFR 700 et seq . _. : . .. . - .. 4 ) Qualification for Federal grants for historic preservation when funds are available. Presently fund- ing is unavailable . Owners of private properties nominated to the National Register have an opportunity to concur in or object to Li . . listing in accord with the National Historic Preservation Act and 36 CFR 60 .

The ° MISSION style is simple and symmentric with only one or two -I 192 5r �4+ design motifs on a stuccoed structure with clay tiled roof or 145 N . E . Sixth Avenue t _ parapet . A prime example is the apartment building built in �Y�� °"ham r$" 1926 at 401 Northeast Second Avenue .

It is the only remaining example of this architectural perity . It also has undergone some modernization of its exterior 11.., 1 but still exhibits features of the MEDITERRANEAN REVIVAL style style in the town . The two - story wrap - around porch with a two - tier ornamental balastrade is the outstanding feature , along withIL popularized in the 1920 ' s . The Tap Room ' s importance as a the double hipped and broken sloped roof . The second owner of �_ social hub for community events has continued into its sixth this house was W . J .

These sites and properties reflect the . prehistoric occupation and historical development of our nation , state , and local communities . � ._ Listing in the National Register does not , in itself, impose any obligation on the property owner , or restrict the owner ' s basic right to use and dispose of the property as he or she sees fit . It does , however , encourage the preserva- tion of significant historic resources in three ways : � _ 1 ) by providing official recognition of the historic significance of the property and encouraging con- sideration of its historic value in future development planning , 2 ) by imposing limited protection from activities involving funding, licensing, or assistance by Federal agencies that could result in damage or loss of its historic values , and t ir 3 ) by making the property eligible for Federal financial incentives for historic preservation . Redevelopment of a listed property which involves Federal funding, licensing, or assistance will be subject to review by the State Historic Preservation Officer and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation to assure that L adequate and appropriate consideration is given to the preservation of the historic qualities for which it was originally listed . This review requirement will also apply to any Federally funded , licensed , or assisted activities undertaken by others that could have an adverse effect on the property . il I ,i Federal financial incentives for historic preservation include eligibility for direct matching grants and invest- ment tax credits for the rehabilitation of income producing properties .

I .II DELRAY BEACH , FLORIDA Listing in the National Register provides recognition and assists in preserving our Nation ' s heritage. Enclosed is a copy of the criteria under which properties are evaluated . LISTED ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES r- Li Listing in the National Register results in the following for historic properties : ON SEPTEMBER 4 , 1986 IL I ) Consideration in planning for Federal , federally licensed , and federally assisted projects . Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 requires that Federal agencies allow the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation an opportunity to comment on all projects affecting historic prop E I - erties listed in the National Register. For further information please refer to 36 CFR 800. 111 2 ) Eligibility for Federal tax provisions . If a property is listed in the National Register certain Federal - tax provisions may apply . The Economic Recovery Actof 1981 , which revised the historic preserva - tion tax incentives authorized by Congress in the Tax Reform Act of' 1976 , the Revenue Act of 1978 , and the Tax Treatment Extension Act of 1980 , provides for a 25 % investment tax credit for rehabilitating historic commercial , industrial and rental residential buildings instead of a 16 or 20 % _ credit available for rehabilitation of non - historic building more than thirty years old . This can be r Li combined with a 15 -year cost recovery period for the adjusted basis of the building. Certified struc - tures with certified rehabilitations receive additional tax savings because owners are allowed to reduce the basis by one half the amount of the credit . The Tax Treatment Extension Act of 1080 provides Federal tax deductions for charitable contributions for conservation purposes of partial LILT __ , , ) , , ,, , ,,,. interests in historically important land areas or structures .

TEXT SUPPORTING SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE t .._ , I: 741/ During the years 1924- 27 the main track of the Seaboard Air LiTbe Railway 1 was constructed from Coleman to Homestead , Florida . ' The well - known archi - tectural firm of Henry Stephen Harvey and Louis Phillips Clarke of West '� � --I T , + . _ ,; , fir i_ I I Palm Beach , was selected to design all the railroad stations for the expan - Yg r1 + sion . 2 In 1924 Clarke designed the elaborate Seaboard passenger station in ',. " : fil West Palm Beach in the Mediterranean Revival style and that station was 11. listed on the National Register in 1973 . 3 The Boynton Beach , Delray Beach I: 1and Deerfield Beach ( Broward County ) stations are nearly identical and were II all designed in the ' Type A ' plan . 4 The original construction drawings --- for the Delray Beach Station are dated - August 3 , 1926 , and signed by Gustav A . Maass ( 1893 - 1964 ) . 5 Maass worked for Harvey & Clarke before forming a y partnership with John L . Volk in Palm Beach . 6 „ � In 1925 the Seaboard management began a legal battle to secure a railroad 1E I z eta'r . .. . right - of - way from West Palm Beach to Miami . In December condemnation suits named property owners along the proposed tract line in Delray . The Sea - Ai board ' s legal action was successful and it was planned that construction of the tracks would commence at both West Palm Beach and Miami and be joined at a point midway . Seaboard President S . Davies Warfield officiated at g round breaking ceremonies for the Delray Beach station on January 22 , IL_ 1926 . In March , under the supervision of resident engineer T . R . Burke , a crew of 200 laborers operating four drag lines , began clearing the track - line through Delray . In July the next crew drove pilings , completed the g rade and laid track . In August a small locomotive of the Dinky type made the run from West Palm Beach to Delray . Freight service was available to JL Delray on November 10 and through freight to Miami on December 15 , 1926 .

The second part of the evaluation should archeological resources affected by , or adjacent to any project . consist of assessing the potential impact of the work necessary to make possible an efficient contemporary use . A basic assumption 9 . Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing in this process is that the historic character of each property is properties shall not be discouraged when such alterations and unique and therefore proposed rehabilitation work will necessarily r It have a different effect on each property ; in other words , what may additions do not destroy significant historical , architectural or be acceptable for one project may be unacceptable for another . cultural material , and such design is compatible with the size , Ir scale , color , material , and character of the property , However , the requirement set forth in the definition of " Rehabil - hood or environment .

To accomplish this , all ten of the shall be done in such a manner that if such additions or alterations f Secretary of the Interior ' s " Standards for Rehabilitation " must were to be removed in the future , the essential form and integrity be met . of the structure would be unimpaired . ill In thepast severalyears , the F most frequent use of the Secretary ' s il " Standards for Rehabilitation " has been to determine if a rehabil - itation project qualifies as a " certified rehabilitation " pursuant I to the Tax Reform Act of 1976 , the Revenue Act of 1978 , and the _ _ Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 , as amended . The Secretary is ITA required by law to certify rehabilitations that are " consistent with the historic character of the structure or the district in 1/ which it is located .

June 24 , 1987 • . I 1 i 1 , l. INTRODUCTION ilim This narrative is the first phase of the Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Project and incorporates both the large 17 - block downtown area as well as the streetscape within the Atlantic Avenue right -of -way . This report studies existing conditions , both opportunities and constraints related to improving entrance and arrival to the Atlantic Avenue Central Business District , as well as those relating to the Atlantic Avenue Streetscape , so that recommendations for alternate solutions can be presented answering the needs of the original project goals . This analysis will be the basis for development of the schematic design alternates that will be presented during the next phase of this project for both the loop area and streetscape . Before proceeding with this site analysis the goals of the Atlantic Avenue Task Force ( as proposed in their Interim Report of April 1985 ) are reviewed here . These recommendations and conclusions have been reviewed and they are as follows . The Task Force , decided ithat the ultimate goal of revitalizing the downtown could be accomplished by attracting people downtown because it is " people that make being downtown enjoyable for working and shopping " . Since the scope of this project is to redevelop the physical and aesthetic condition of the existing Atlantic Avenue streetscape , it should be pointed out as in the Interim Report , that these " physical improvements are only one of the means " to the end of revitalizing the downtown . Other components must be included in this 111141 revitalization process to ensure its success . As per the Report , * these components include : 1 . the promotion of Main Street ; 2 . enhancement of retailing ; 3 . improvement of access , pedestrian circulation and parking ; • 4 . creation of employment opportunities ; and 5 . the beautification of the downtown environment . Issues 3 and 5 above are addressed in this analysis with emphasis given to item 3 in the study of the " loop " area ( which encompasses N . E . First Street to S . E . First Street from Swinton Avenue to the Intracoastal Waterway ) . This " loop " area is being included in the streetscape project because this area supports and surrounds the target Atlantic Avenue area . This study of the loop area involves site analysis and schematic design only , and includes the following three major components : parking and circulation ; arrival ; and identity and image . These three elements combine to make up the physical support structure for the Atlantic Avenue corridor . . i • 9 I PARKING & CIRCULATION 1 . Loop Road - The existing " loop road " consists of the two one -way pairs of N . E . & S . E . First Streets combined with U . S . 1 and Swinton Avenue . This loop is intended to improve parking and driving conditions in the downtown by reducing vehicular congestion and through traffic on Atlantic Avenue . Stronger signage is needed to reinforce the loop system at its major access points to allow drivers earlier notification of its location and direction . Due to the north- south orientation of the long block structure of the downtown the loop road tends to be quite far from the core area to allow for convenient access and around - the - block circulation . 2 . Atlantic Avenue - This off -corridor needs more emphasis as provider of access to and from on - street parking for the downtown . However , there needs to be emphasis placed on its use as a main accessway and not a major through street . Its use as an accessway for downtown users convenience must not negate the importance of the " loop " for access to the beach and to other major arterials beyond downtown . 3 . North - South Collectors - Fifth and Sixth Avenues along with N . E . Second and Fourth Avenues need to be emphasized as connectors to and from the loop system as well as accessways to parking . 4 . Alleyways - Delray Beach alleyways provide an important opportunity as mid - block connectors that offer more convenience to the downtown user in both connecting the collector street parking areas that serve the corridor to one another and connecting the pedestrian directly to Atlantic Avenue . These alleyways function well this way because of their east -west orientation and proximity to Atlantic Avenue . The major constraints lie in alignments , and the confusing , non - consistent , directional signals . 5 . Parking - According to the Traffic Circulation and Parking Easement Study of September 1986 the constraints to parking within the redevelopment area involve increasing the efficiency and distribution of lot utilization . . Within the loop area there are presently about 446 on - street parking opportunities with 1495 private and 483 public off - street spaces available . While there is a limited supply of on - street spaces along Atlantic Avenue , the supply of both on - and off - street parking seems adequate for present on the adjacent North - South collector roads and existing parking lots . The parking lots south of Atlantic Avenue seem fairly convenient to downtown users , as they reflect the East -West layout of the corridor and are distributed fairly evenly along its length allowing for convenient pedestrian access from parking to street . I 2 I ; v i There are some constraints as to the location and distribution of public parking north of Atlantic Avenue . There is one public parking lot located in the northwest section of the downtown core east of the railroad , oriented north- south along the long axis of the block . This makes it less convenient not because of its singular location , but the axial north- south block orientation makes for long walks to Atlantic Avenue . This north side Atlantic Avenue distribution of parking is poorly located relative to associated land uses and creates a pedestrian / parking problem in the downtown area . While parking availability at present is not critical to the downtown , these conditions could change . Therefore , several areas for potential future parking lots , whether garage or surface , should be earmarked for additional capacity . Opportunities lie in vacant sites ( both developed and undeveloped ) within the loop area , again , most of which lie in the area south of Atlantic Avenue . 6 . Pedestrian Circulation - Major pedestrian paths and activity areas as they exist today are found on the sidewalks of varying widths along the Atlantic Avenue corridor and in the alleyway transition areas to the north and south of the corridor that connect parking areas to their adjacnet businesses . There is little definition of pedestrian crossings at intersections and as well as the walkway itself at certain points along Atlantic Avenue . Lack of both pedestrian amenities and safety precautions exist along both the Atlantic Avenue streetscape and alleyways . 7 . Public Transit - Public transit service is provided by the Palm Beach County Transportation Authority with bus routes within the loop area including Federal Highway , Atlantic Avenue , Swinton and IIportions of N . E . First Street . There are two bus stops located on the north side of Atlantic Avenue . • ARRIVAL 1 . Loop Road - Anyone using the loop area or downtown should be able to know when they have " arrived " at their destination , whether it be at the core , in the midst of it all, or at loop road so that it can all be by -passed . This sense of arrival is missing in much of loop area and its environs . The loop road does not at present clearly alert the driver as to whether or not they have arrived or left the loop by -pass system . The north , south , east and west arrival points to the " loop" by -pass ( need reinforcement if it is to become the downtown traffic _ via conjestion reducing tool it is meant to be . These arrival points could become gateways to the downtown district that would help announce the approach to and reinforce the identity of the downtown as a special place . Such gateways at the east and west entrances to the district along Atlantic Avenue are needed to further reinforce a sense of arrival into that " special " downtown district . 3 ' I I Approaches to intersections with Atlantic from all sides could /11111 also be emphasized to announce to both pedestrian and vehicle the approach of a downtown main street node from within the loop and announce accesses to parking and collector streets from the Atlantic Avenue . 101111 2 . Collector Streets , Alleyways and Parking - The arrival nodes created by intersections of collector streets and loop roads , as well as between collector roads and parking or alleyway are not strong and need reinforcing if clarification of parking and its relationship to the Atlantic corridor is to occur . These nodes are also important to making the loop system work . Even though the loop system is intended to encourage drivers to use it as an alternative route to non -Atlantic Avenue corridor parking , its distance from existing parking creates a challenge in making the connection from loop road to parking ( both public and private ) and eventually to Atlantic Avenue . 3 . Pedestrian - The arrival at pedestrian areas also needs formalization and definition for both comfort and safety of the users . In many areas , the distinction between the vehicular and pedestrian domain is unclear . Intersections , crosswalks , shared alleyways and even the sidewalks themselves need to be better defined so that both pedestrian and driver alike know that they have arrived in either a danger , caution or safety zone . 4 . Atlantic Avenue - In addition , while the arrival to the Atlantic Avenue corridor could be easily delineated for north - south moving traffic , the process of identifying arrival to the actual downtown is not so definitive . There are three major stages of arrival for If east -bound traffic . For those traveling east on Atlantic Avenue , the intersection at Swinton Avenue is the first step to arrival at the downtown fringe , but the " downtown " core ( well defined , with buildings to both sides ) does not occur at that point . The second stage of arrival point which has a more defined downtown feeling is at the intersection of Second Avenue and Atlantic Avenue , but is cut -off abruptly by the railroad right -of -way . It is not until east of the railroad tracks that a cohesive , identifiable " downtown " is perceived . This downtown feeling continues until Sixth Street where a set back Atlantic Plaza and the park open space let the downtown edge abruptly end . Therefore the true sense of arrival into the " core " downtown area occurs at the intersection of 3rd Avenue and Atlantic Avenue on the east . •- Gateway to the downtown district arrival points occur at Swinton and the intracoastal while arrivals to the actual presently downtown occur at Third and Seventh . 4 Y it PINIDENTITY / IMAGE Loop Road - The loop road as a system does not have a clear identity or image . Signage is needed . The street is shadeless , the edges are not well defined and important connections to downtown parking are not as emphasized as they need to be for the loop traveler to take 10/1111 advantage of convenient parking . Atlantic Avenue - As the major downtown street , Atlantic Avenue creates a strong central business district image ( rows of commercial 0111 buildings on either side of the street ) from Third Avenue to Seventh Avenue . The street loses its urban commercial ( " main street " ) identity at the railroad crossing to the west and at Atlantic Plaza to the east . These outer edges of the commercial core need to be ✓ einforced to become a part of the overall downtown streetscape . IMO Also , the spaces at the north- south street intersections to Atlantic Avenue do not help to maintain a cohesive "main street " edge . The ✓ iews down these streets present a treeless roadway cluttered with u tility wires and poles . These important vistas would benefit from some landscape buffering at the street corners . Collector Streets - Opportunities exist along these streets and their intersections with Atlantic Avenue for street plantings to create shady entry streets to the downtown . The consolidation of signage , lights and placement of wiring underground would serve to clean -up these unattractive images . Alleyways - The identity of the alleyways are as interesting spaces that allow for service / people spaces for the businesses along 11/ Atlantic . These alleyways have the opportunity for becoming the front door transition spaces carrying the pedestrian directly to the building or as attractive , shared space for service / pedestrian vehicle access to Atlantic Avenue entrances . The constraints at present lie in the confusing , unclear or nonexistent signage directing use . Ofter the public alleyways run into private business drives with no clear differentiation between the two . Parking - Most of the parking within the downtown , both public and private , are generally hot , treeless and unattractive with undefined edges and the public and private spaces seemingly running one into another . Similarly , the alleyways and walkways leading from the parking to the downtown streets , shops and offices are also hot and treeless . There is much opportunity here for turning the experience of walking from parking lot to business a pleasant , attractive and safe one . f-- f 5 H I Pedestrian - Walkways within the loop area are generally of such 11111 varied materials , finishes and widths to identify them at best as a non -cohesive , downtown walkway system . At times , due to lack of grade separation or changes in materials it is hard to discern walkways from drives and alleyways and sometimes even the street . ADDITIONAL CONSTRAINTS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE ATLANTIC AVENUE STREETSCAPE Included here are additional elements specific to the Atlantic Avenue ✓ ight -of -way that have not been addressed as part of the loop and are viewed as relevent opportunities and constraints . Pedestrian Circulation The walkway system along Atlantic Avenue varies in width , and in many locations seems too narrow for confortable use . Climate and Existing Architecture The one and two story ( some of Mediterranean style ) buildings and arcaded sidewalks that flank Atlantic Avenue to the north and south are a definite asset that gives the downtown its unique small scale u rban character and creates an opportunity for the continuation and u pgrading of a good architectural theme . Although many of the buildings along the Avenue have responded to the South Florida climatic factors of intense sun and heavy summer rains by introducing architectural canopies of canvas and other materials over the sidewalks , the general psychological effect , especially on the north side of the street is one of exposure to the hot , glaring sunshine or elements much of the day . Vegetation The existing streetscape vegetation is fairly sparse and does not provide the shade so badly needed for the pedestrian . This ✓ egetation , however , is generally well cared for and in spots colorful due to a city -wide interest in flowering plantings . This maintenance factor reflects the care and interest Delray Beach takes in its plant materials especially since there seems to be no street -wide automatic irrigation system in place . Lighting / Signage / Street Furniture Existing lighting and signage is utilitarian in nature and not of a ✓ isually coordinated design . In contrast , the existing street furniture ( trash receptacles , planters , and benches ) seem to be ''" coordinated , but this coordinated effort is lost amongst the disparate w elements that make up the balance of the streetscape . 6 - i Drainage and Grading It appears that sufficient drainage exists along the street , but 01011 without further survey information there is no confirmation of any problem areas . What appears to be a constraint relating to draingage emerges in the curbside asphalt areas that have been repaved so thickly that they have reduced the depth of curb . At some points along the street , the curb entirely disappears , diminishing the separation of cars and pedestrians . Views At various locations along the Atlantic Avenue corridor , at the open lots , railroad rights -of -way , parks and street intersections , unfavorable views exist that need screening . At times these bad views _ are combined with favorable views that need augmenting through the selective buffering of unfavorable elements . Noise Noise appears to be a problem as it is generated by traffic . It is created during peak business hours along the corridor , during much of the day along the intersections with the major arterials and during times of train traffic along the railway . Breezes What seems to be a good steady prevailing breeze exists downtown and becomes expecially evident at the intersections with the north - south collector streets and open areas . 6226C / bw r-- s-- - 7 - U I . . . m _ . . ■ I � =MkkstB aMac ;w u„Jrfu�� uNrtr• 2 +tiu n.T �— i �` r.-1 F� +�' ■ '�j1' 1^( ��T pnur� �-°DP I . �� ® � 1 ! �� aab a. , ' !
