O'NEAL HOUSE AS This is second reading and a public heating for Ordinance No. 27-02 which designates the S.E. O'Neal House as a local historic site to be listed in the Local Register of Historic Places. The house is located at 910 N.E. 2"a Street on property legally described as Lots 1-3, 28 & 29, Block 10, Dell Park Subdivision, recorded in Plat Book 8 at Page 56 of the Public Records of Palm Beach County. Constructed in 1926 in the Mediterranean Revival architectural style, this was the home of S.E. O'Neal, one of Delray's boom time settlers. The construction dates nm parallel to the early settlement of nearby Del-Ida Park Historic District and has common architectural influences of that district as well as 1920 South Florida Mediterranean-Revival Influences. The home is unique and architecturally sound having retained many of its features including a high- relief door surround, barrel tile roof, stucco exterior, arched fenestration, and a garage lying to the west behind the house. The Historic Preservation Board considered the historic designation at a public heating on June 19, 2002, and voted unanimously (7-0) to recommend approval. At first reading on July 2, 2002, the City Commission passed Ordinance No. 27-02 by unanimous vote. Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 27-02 on second and final reading. S:\City Clerk\chevelle folder\agenda memos\Ord 27-0Z07.16.02 TO: THROUGH: FROM: SUBJECT: PAUL DORLING, DIRECTO~j~F PLANNING AND ZONING WENDY SHAY, HISTORIC PRESERVATION PLANNER MEETING OF JULY 2, 2002 REQUEST FOR AN ORDINANCE TO ESTABLISH AN INDIVIDUAL HISTORIC DESIGNATION FOR THE PROPERTY AT 910 NE 2"[~ AVENUE INCLUDING LOTS 1-37 287 & 29 OF BLOCK 10, LOCATED BETWEEN NE 9TM STREET AND NE '10TM STREET ON THE WEST SIDE OF NE 2"D AVENUE. The proposed designation is for Lots 1-3, 28, & 29, Block 10 of the Dell Park subdivision, which consists of a lot with a single family residence in the center of the property with vacant lots on either side. Constructed c. 1926, the 3,057 sq. ft. structure and garage at 910 NE 2nd Avenue, located on Lot 3, is a good example of a Mediterranean-Revival style residence. Home to S.E. O'Neal, one of Delray's boom time settlers, the structure remains architecturally sound having retained many of its stylistic features including a high-relief door surround, barrel tile roof, smooth stucco exterior, and arched fenestration. In addition to the house, a 400 sq. ft garage was constructed and lies to the west behind) of the house. The construction dates run parallel with the early settlement of nearby Del-Ida Park Historic District and shares some common architectural influences of that district as well as the Mediterranean-Revival influences in South Florida during the 1920s. The structure is outside the boundaries of the five historic districts. The residence is unique and would be a good addition to the Local Register of Historic Places as an individually listed property. In 1987, the City of Delray Beach passed Ordinance 13-87 establishing the Historic Preservation Board and the process for promoting and listing historically, archaeologically, and architecturally significant sites and properties in a Local Register of Historic Places. Currently, there are five historic districts and twenty-five individually listed properties. During its meeting on June 5, 2002, the Historic Preservation Board set the public hearing for June 19, 2002 to discuss the proposed designation and provide a recommendation to the City Commission for the individual historic property listing. On June 19, 2002, the Board unanimously (7-0) approved the recommendation to the City Commission to list the O'Neal House in the Local Register of Historic Places. Public comment during this meeting was in favor of the designation. The residence at 910 NE 2nd Street, built c. 1926 as a single-family residence is being considered for listing in the Local Register of Historic Places for historical significance under the criteria listed in LDR Section 4.5.1 (B)(2)(a) as the residence of one of Delray's early residents, politically and socially active in the community. The dwelling can also be designated under the criteria listed in LDR Section 4.5.1(C)(3)(a) and (b) as the structure is architecturally significant for its unique interpretation of a Mediterranean-Revival style structure and for its representation of architectural development in Delray Beach and South Florida in the 1920s. If approved, waivers will be requested from the Historic Preservation Board to allow construction of two single family houses on the balance of the property. Approve Ordinance 27-02.

III. ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE The O'Neal house portrays the environment of 1920's architecture in Delray Beach. It is built of wood frame construction and embodies the distinguishing characteristics of the Mediterranean Revival style reflecting both the design and craftsmanship of that style. In the opinion of Sam Ogren, Jr, son of famed local architect Samuel Ogren, along with statements from several others from old Delray families, evidence strongly indicates that this home was the work of Fred Link, a prominent local builder circa 1926 in Delray Beach. Research of Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, indicate that in 1920 there was no survey of the Del-Ida plat. However, the 1926 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map does show the Dell Park plat adjacent to and north of the Del- Ida plat. The O'Neal house and garage are included on the 1926 map. Therefore, one can conclude the O'Neal House was constructed subsequent to 1920 and prior to the 1926 Sanborn survey. The O'Neal house is located at 910 NE 2nd Avenue and lies between N.E. 9th Street and N.E. 10th Street, on the west side of N.E. 2nd Avenue. Constructed in the early to mid 1920's and designed by an unknown architect, the building is a good example of the Mediterranean Revival style which was popular in Delray Beach during the Florida Boom of the 1920' s and can still be seen throughout the neighboring Del-Ida Historic District today. The house conforms almost exactly to the feat ures characteristic of the Mediterranean Revival style as described in the Delray Beach Design Guidelines (1). The Mediterranean Revival style is characterized by one and two story structures with stucco finish, wood, stone and concrete accents and multi-rank asymmetrical facade massing. Multi-plane cross gabled roofs are often combined with pitched shed roofs most of which are covered in clay barrel tile. Windows are multi-paned double or single hung sash, or casements. Arched windows are found above windows and door openings (1) often accented with carved stonework, columns or pilasters. Elaborate chimney caps, usually topped with barrel tile and functional or decorative balconies are characteristic of the style. While basically rectangular in form, the O'Neal House emphasizes the asymmetric massing of the Mediterranean Revival style with two different ..... .: • .... • • .. , • .. If .. • .... : • • •• ~ • • •• •. • •. ~ ~ . . . . . . .·. . ~ . . . . " .... ' ..... ~ . . . ' ,' • .. · .. · .. planes on the front elevation, additionally the three different roof heights and styles contribute to the typical asymmetric façade massing. (1) Of particular architectural interest is the entrance to the home which displays a large paneled pecky cypress wood door with a Greek-inspired, high- relief concrete surround and topped by a projecting cornice and brackets. It is featured in Delray Beach Design Guidelines, 1990, see page 36, "Original entrances display pride in place." On the first floor front façade a shed barrel terra-cotta tile roof covers the sunroom/porch. On the second floor, the master bedroom suite is covered by a high pitched front-facing gable roof with roof vent covered with asphalt shingles which is believed to have replaced the original barrel terra-cotta tile. The roof line and gable eaves display the original style of barrel tiles. Behind the second story, which covers less than half of the first floor, is a parapet surrounding a built-up, flat roof. The southwest corner of the parapet reflects a decorative step. The walls of the house are finished in smooth stucco. The wood framed windows are either single or double hung sash with a 6/1 or 4/1 light configuration. All windows display deep sills. The windows on the front façade in the first floor sunroom are tall casements topped with fanlights along all three sides of the sunroom/porch. They are all presently covered with metal- louvered awning shutters which were on the house when purchased by the present owners in 1974. The first floor contains four rooms plus a kitchen, bath, and a magnificent sunroom; with the exception of the sunroom, all of the rooms are entered from a large rectangular center hall. On entering the living room from the front door, to the left is a curved staircase up to the second floor master bedroom suite. Under the stairs, there is an arched top pecky cypress door giving access to storage area under the stairs. To the right, in the living room, is the working fireplace which is surrounded by a cut surface stone façade without a mantle. The sunroom is entered from the right side living room directly opposite the fireplace through double wood multi-paned French doors. Upon entering the center hall, a large bedroom is to the left with double closets, with fanlights to the front and one to the side of the house. Presently there is a side entrance to this room on the south wall. Continuing down the hall, is the third bedroom to the left with one closet and two large windows offering wonderful light into the modest sized room. At the end of • • • • • • • • # ~. • • • • • • • • ...... •• • ~ • • • • •• : • : • • • • • the hall, there is a full bath complete with a large tub, toilet and sink. Opposite the bedrooms, on the right side of the center hall, are entries into the kitchen and dining room first, then the kitchen at the end of the hall. The dining room has two large windows on the north wall of the house. A breakfast nook can be found off the kitchen which has a forge pantry on the back (west) wall of the house and to the right of that is a laundry room which leads to the back yard of the home. When taking the curved staircase to the second floor, you will enter the bright and airy master bedroom suite with a full bath, a dressing area and built-in closets to the back of the room facing the west. There are three windows facing the front of the house and one facing the west offering bright ample light and air circulation. The dressing area has a door which leads you out to the flat roof over the kitchen, dining room and bedrooms below. All rooms, with the exception of the kitchen and bathrooms, still have the original wood flooring. All window and door trim is of solid undecorated wood stained a dark brown. To the west of the main dwelling at the rear of the hou~, is a small, detached, two car garage of frame construction covered with a rough textured stucco exterior finish believed to have also been constructed circa 1926. The garage displays a flat roof with a parapet wall trimmed with barrel terra cotta tile. Inside, the roof beams and exterior wall framing are exposed. There are several windows covered with what appears to be the original exterior wood window coverings. There are wood, double doors on rollers that open from side to side on a metal rail. Originally, there was a bathroom/wash area in the back corner of the garage which included a toilet. The walls and door to this room are intact. The house is unaltered with the exception of an addition to the second floor master bedroom suite in 1941.

HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL HISTORY The O'Neal family has an interesting and significant role in the history of Delray Beach. Samuel Elliot (S. E.) O'Neal was the eldest of four brothers who moved to Delray Beach from Fairfax County, South Carolina. As to time, our best guess is approximately 1918, the conclusion of World War I. The brothers and ages are as follows per Voter Registrction records: Name 1918 Age Samuel Elliot 26 Theodore Mathew 24 H. Malcolm 15 Fred A. 14 1936 Age 44 42 33 32 The brothers were produce farmers west of Delray for a number of years and gradually moved to town as the farm prospered. S. E. O'Neal married Shirley Bradley in 1921. They purchased 910 N. E. 2nd Avenue from Herbert Harrington on May 21, 1930. Shirley's sister, Ida Bradley, held a trust deed on the property for $1,200, recorded April 21, 1931 until March 32, 1942. S. E. and Shirley O'Neal had one son, Bradley O'Neal. Bradley was the first Delray Beach resident to die in the armed forces in World War II. He was killed during the Italian campaign in 1942. The local VFW Post is named in his honor along with Alfred Priest, who was killed in the Pacific War Theatre. Bradley bequeathed one-half of his serviceman's life insurance policy, in the amount of $5,000, to the Delray Beach School Library. This was a significant sum in 1942. He is included on the memorial of World War II deaths in Veterans Park. S. E. O'Neal died in 1970 of a heart attack while pruning the mango trees on the 910 N. E. 2nd Avenue property. Shirley O'Neal died in 1973, and Russell and Judy Greene purchased the property from her estate in 1974. They are the present owners. ' -·. - · ' · . . .. : •. .

O'Neal, the next eldest brother, was listed in the 1920 Palm Beach County directory as a garage owner in the town of Delray Beach. He later entered the insurance business and maintained an office above Huber's Drugstore, a city landmark. T. M. O'Neal was elected to the Delray Beach City Council for a 2 year term starting in 1925. During his tenure, he was part of the contract with Don Ross to build the City of Delray Beach Golf Course, the contract to furnish power and light to the city of Boca Raton, and the sale of the power and light plant to Florida Power and Light. He later became a Palm Beach County Commissioner. Fred A. O'Neal became a lawyer. The Delray Beach Historical Society has a file of stock certificates and patents indicating he invested in several local businesses. In summary, the O'Neal family played a large role in the history of Delray Beach. VI. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The O'Neal house is significant for its architecture. It is a classic Mediterranean Revival style with virtually all its' original exterior architectural features intact. It is also believed to be built by Fred Link, a well known 1920's builder. The O'Neals were prominent figures in the 1920's city government and son Bradley, significant in its history and institutions. ••• .•.•,..,_;,, •• • ,~;_•.._.,•. ,· .C•.,1-•,,•,:.;,,•,•,~. • ,•,• ;. .-.:.·,• ,•~·.~,,-•,.;:,,, • '•~'•• .,•, t'.••' ;;, .~ .•.
