MEETING OF JULY 2, 2002
REQUEST FOR AN AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE 9-95 FOR A PARCEL OF LAND
LOCATED AT 154 NW 5t~ AVENUE (THE SUSAN WILLIAMS HOUSE)~ ADJACENT
TO THE SPADY MUSEUM BETWEEN MARTIN LUTHER KING~ JR DRIVE AND NW
1s'r STREET; AN INDIVIDUALLY LISTED HISTORIC PROPERTY.

The Susan Williams House historic designation was previously applied to the house located at 30 NW
3rd Avenue, Lots 5 & 6 of Block 36, Town of Delray, originally the Town of Linton. The structure has
been moved to 154 NW 5th Avenue just south of the Spady Museum described as approximately .15
acres of land in the Melvin Burd Subdivision that includes the south 12 feet of Lot 7 & Lot 8. The
bungalow style structure, with its battered porch columns and open porch design was constructed in
1935. The residence was built by Isaiah Bruin, however the architect is unknown. The structure was
designated based on its contribution of Bungalow architecture as well as its historical affiliation with
Susan Williams, a mid-wife who often times provided the only medical service in the historic Sands
area (currently a part of the West Settler's Historic District). The residence was her home for the last
four years of her life. The house was individually designated in January 1995 prior to the
establishment of the West Settler's Historic District.
The Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), along with EPOCH (Expanding and
Preserving Our Cultural Heritage), sought the Historic Preservation Board's approval to relocate the
Susan Williams House from 30 NW 3re Avenue to 154 NW 5th Avenue. The Board approved the
relocation of the Williams House to the Spady Museum Complex during its meeting of October 6,
1999. While the house was subsequently relocated by the CRA, the property description and address
in Ordinance 9-95, that established the individual historic designation for the house, was not amended
accordingly. Therefore, it is necessary to amend Ordinance 9-95 in order to update the property
address and description. During it meeting on June 19, 2002, the Historic Preservation Board
recommended approval (7-0) of the amendment to Ordinance 9-95 to the City Commission. Public
comment during this meeting was in favor of the amendment in order to update the designation.
The historic structure retains its architectural and historical integrity despite its relocation. Therefore,
there is no need to alter the historic designation other than to update the property description. Staff
recommends approval of the modification to Ordinance 9-95.
