DATE: JULY 12, 2002
- REGULAR MEETING OF JULY 16, 2002
(DESIGNATING S.E. 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.

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.
