Meeting Minutes
Historic Resource Preservation Board
Boynton Beach, Florida April 10, 2023
Amanda Radigan, Planning and Zoning Director, introduced herself. She stated that the
City currently uses NOVUS Agenda software to publish agendas and that they are
changing to PEAK Agenda software City-wide. She advised that Board Members will
receive an email regarding training, which will occur in the near future. Ms. Radigan also
announced that the Visitors Center is planned to go live in six months and if anyone is
interested in volunteering, they should contact her or Assistant City Manager Kathryn
Matos. She said that the Board will discuss this further in the future, and that the Board's
activities will be included in the Visitors Center.
4.B. Website Migration - Staff will provide an update on the City's progress in
merging the existing components of the original historic preservation site
with the City's upgraded website, and its expansion to represent a more
user-friendly and informative site.
Craig Pinder, Planner II, stated that they have a working draft of the website that is live.
He demonstrated how to access the site, reviewed the site's features and content, and
requested feedback.
Chair Ready commented that she will provide links to the Boynton Beach Historical
Society and their YouTube videos. Sh—e inquired why the page is found under Business
and not Residents.
Jae Eun Kim, Principal Planner, stated that this is the way ITS set it up and that eventually
when the City migrates to its new platform, it will be moved on the website and in other
locations.
Ms. Radigan noted that all of Development's Services are listed under the Business Tab.
Ms. Kim said that if they share images and photos, it would be nice to have them on the
website.
Dr. Lowe inquired about the map and the historically significant, but not registered
properties, and asked about the definition. He asked who decided if the properties were
historically significant and if the Board could make suggestions.
Ms. Radigan replied that on the next agenda, they will discuss developing an annual work
plan and an updated survey, that they would have to budget for. She said that everything
that could be historically significant could be added to the survey and then added to the
website.
Dr. Lowe said that he knows of some properties that are now historic and can be on the
map. Dr. Lowe requested that in the future, they add links to Boynton Beach history, such
as books.
Ms. Radigan stated that suggestions are welcome and the members can send them to

her and they will review and add them.
4.C. Andrew's house at 306 SE 1st Avenue - The Board, at the March 71h
meeting, moved to initiate the review of the historic Andrew's House for
addition to the City's Local Registry of Historic Sites. Staff will report on this
initiative to include coordination with the property owner and Historica LLC.
Ms. Radigan stated that staff wanted to inform the Board that they have a contract with
Warren Adams of Historica, to do the designation report for the site and that he is in touch
with the owner.
Bradley Miller, from Urban Design Studio, representing the property owner, stated that
staff reached out to them about the idea of a designation. He stated that the same owner
owns the both the north and south side properties and that they are currently working on
getting the north side under construction. He said that the south parcel still has the house
designated on the plan and a designation is still planned.
Chair Ready stated that Dr. Lowe shared a grant opportunity through the State Historic
Preservation Department, which was a matching grant of $500K and that one category
was acquisition. She thought that maybe they can apply for the funds and use the funds
to move the Andrews home somewhere else.
Ms. Radigan agreed and stated that they should consider properties in the CRA Cottage
District and that they have a few properties in the HOB.
Chair Ready stated that she did not know who owns the Gables property next to the
Magnuson House, and commented that it would be a great place to situate other historic
properties and that it could make a nice Visitors Center.
Mr. Miller stated that overall, the home was in pretty good condition. He stated that the
owner may be open to having the home designated, as the owner was unsure what to do
with the home. He said that he thought that a very small percentage of people even know
the home is there and he pointed out the railroad is next to it, and he surmised that the
vibrations do not help the home.
Mr. Norfus recalled that they wanted cottages down Ocean Avenue, but when they talk
about moving them, he asked where would they be relocated, or if they would be put in a
central location or in a historic row.
Chair Ready stated they would have to move the home to a City owned property.

one-story single-family house to the City's Local Registry of Historic Sites.
Applicant: Dr. Martha Meeks-Light, property owner.
Motion
Dr. Lowe moved to remove the item from the table. Mr. Ramiccio seconded the motion.
The motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Rumpf referred back to the March 7th meeting and said that great contributions were
made at the meeting, which was helpful and that the staff report contained highlights of
the designation report. He stated that this home was different from other designations
and it helped point to a period of events. He advised that the family owned this property
since the Iate1800's and it was significant in times of segregation. He announced that
staff recommends it be designated.
He read into the record that this Ordinance will go before the City Commission, for official
adoption, resulting in it being added to the Local Registry. He pointed out that the First
Reading of the Ordinance will be on the May 15th City Commission Agenda and the
Second Reading on June 5th
Mr. Ramiccio asked if there was any consideration of when a homeowner proposes a
designation, the Board leverage dollars to help the homeowner landscape it and improve
its curb appeal or other improvements, while maintaining the overall integrity of the
historic attributes.
Ms. Radigan explained that as they develop the Board's work plans, which an updated
will be provided at the next meeting, that these are the types of items they would like to
see. She noted that funding-based requests should be added to the annual City
Commission report they will provide to the City Commission, as they will have to decide
on funding for certain items.
Mr. Ramiccio clarified that when someone comes to the Board to designate, they should
encourage improvements, and that in this instance, the property is in the CRA District.
Ms. Radigan commented that the City has a small fund to help fund improvements, which
she will research, as it would further the properties historical value.
Mr. Rumpf explained that it was similar to the Paint Up Fix Up program.
Motion
Dr. Lowe moved to approve. Mr. Ramiccio seconded the motion. The motion passed 4-

Boynton Beach, Florida April 10, 2023
Dr. Lowe recalled that this item was previously discussed by the Board, and said
that the person who conducted the survey in 1996 at FAU, Dr. Sandra Norman,
asked him about student internships with the City, as there are a few FAU students
living in Boynton Beach that would like an intern in the fall. He advised that if the
City can use them, they are available and that they need minimal supervision, a
project, and someone to oversee. He advised that the interns are not paid, but
they get collage credit.
Ms. Radigan requested that they contact her.
There was Board consensus to support internship opportunities.
Mr. Norfus passed out information, which he reviewed and is attached to the
minutes. He announced that he would like to have a park named Missionary Hope
Park based on resident outreach to the homeless and downtrodden in the past He
said that he thought this could be a possible future project and advised that there
is a lot more history in that part of town, but unless they present it, no one will know
about it.
Discussion followed that this is a passive park owned by the City, but the park is
fenced, locked and is likely being used by Utilities as an easement. The fence was
added in the last year to keep the homeless out.
Mr. Norfus also stated that the Murph house should also be designated.
Ms. Radigan said that there were complaints about the park, but said she would
research it further. She suggested that they could look at different options.
Chair Ready advised that she would not object to naming the easement and they
can make a recommendation.
Mr. Ramiccio noted that when looking at the City's Parks Plan, this park is not on
there. He said that it likely was an easement and then residents used it and a
walkway was added, but in unused alleyways cities have to deal with undesirables,
and it becomes a burden for residents and the City, especially if it is not designated.
He expressed that it starts with the City reviewing it.

Yes,we were receiving complaints on a weekly basis. Recreation worked with PW and PD to develop a plan of action.We
have done multiple cleanups in the past to remove homeless encampments that were set up.
We continue to monitor that property,the linear trail and the park near the railroad tracks on a daily basis and are in
constant communications with PW and PD.

Amanda,
Fence/gates were installed in January 2023 to eliminate homeless and illegal activity on the property. It allows the Park
Rangers to secure the property at night and PID to trespass anyone that is staying overnight.
We should be cautious of renaming,this is a bigger conversation with City Management and Commission.

Hello all,
13
Thank you, Franky. Utilities also did some research, and we have no objections to the proposed named park. We would like
to retain a 12 ft. utilities easement/access running north-south along the eastern property line for a future stormwater
outfall pipe to the C-16 Canal. Since the land is owned by the City, an easement may not be necessary.
There are no other underground utilities within the parcel. Existing water and sewer mains are located within the public
right-of-way of NE 13th Avenue.
Thanks,
Chris

I have limited information on that land but can do more research. It is owned, operated and maintained by the City.The
Public Works department maintains it using one of our landscape vendors.The Recreation and Parks department opens,
closes and enforces City policies via our Park Rangers.
The property connects to the Palmetto Greens Linear trail and has been used by community members as a passive park.
However, it is not included in our park inventory and does not have a name dedicated to it.
Hope this information is helpful.

Any other information is welcomed!

Hello all,
Thank you, Franky. Utilities also did some research, and we have no objections to the proposed named park. We would like
to retain a 12 ft. utilities easement/access running north-south along the eastern property line for a future stormwater
outfall pipe to the C-16 Canal. Since the land is owned by the City, an easement may not be necessary.
There are no other underground utilities within the parcel. Existing water and sewer mains are located within the public
right-of-way of NE 13th Avenue.
Thanks,
Chris

The property connectsto the Palmetto Greens Linear trail and has been used by community members as a passive park.
However, it is not included in our park inventory and does not have a name dedicated to it.

306 SE 1St Ave.—Local Historic Designation
Historic Context
The development of the City of Boynton Beach has taken place over four broad eras:
• Pioneer Era (c.1875 to c.1919)
• Boom Time Era (c.1920 to c.1928)
• Depression/New Deal/War Time Era (c.1929 to c.1945)
• Modern Era (c.1946 to c.1967)
306 SE 15t Avenue was built in 1907 during the Pioneer Era in the Wood Frame Vernacular style.
Pioneer Era
The earliest recorded property owner in the Boynton Beach area was Captain James A. Armour,
the head lighthouse keeper in Jupiter, who, in 1875, filed a claim for beachfront land which
encompassed the present Boynton Municipal Beach. Some of the earliest settlers included black
families who farmed in the area.
It was believed that the Town of Boynton was founded by Major Nathan Smith Boynton who
owned all the land in the area and the hotel; however, recent research has shown this is not
entirely accurate.
In 1892, Byrd Spilman Dewey (Birdie Dewey), a prominent author of the time and wife of Fred
Dewey,a Civil Warveteran from Indiana, purchased 160 acres of land at the southern end of Lake
Worth. In 1895, she sold 120 acres of this land to William Seelye Linton, a new speculator from
Michigan who made a small down payment of$100. In 1897, Linton sold 40 acres of this land to
Major Boynton, former editor and publisher of the Port Huron Press and owner of the recently
built Boynton Hotel. However, the sale was not completed as Linton, who had not paid the
Dewey's in full forthe land, had no deed.This left the area known as Boynton in turmoil especially
as Major Boynton had formed the Southern Florida Land Company and sold town lots on his land
for$50.
In September 1897, the Deweys filed a foreclosure lawsuit against Linton and Boynton for
nonpayment which resulted in them regaining their land. Neither Boynton nor Linton ever filed
a plat for the Town of Boynton. In 1898, the Deweys filed plats for the town of Boynton and for
Dewey's Subdivision. As the Deweys were friends with Major Boynton, they named the town in
his honor. Fred Dewey sold lots with genuine deeds to settlers and, as a consequence, served as
land agent for several interests in the area including Henry M. Flagler's Florida East Coast (F.E.C.)
Railway which had been granted property for building the railroad through to Mia mi2. Flagler's
first passenger train traveled through Boynton in 18963.

During the late 1890s, residences and commercial buildings sprang up along Ocean Avenue. By
1900, Boynton had become a major supplier of tomatoes and pineapples to northern markets'.
The rich soil from the farms also quickly produced beans, peppers, and bananas. Dairy farming
also developed on the ocean ridge east of the Florida East Coast Canal. The success of the
Boynton Hotel and local farm production prompted the designation of Boynton as a regular stop
for the F.E.C. Railroad. The successes from the farms and dairies triggered more expansion to the
area throughout the early 1900s.
In 1907,the black community petitioned the School Board for a teacher.The Superintendent was
ordered to employ a teacher, but the residents were to provide a building. A one-room wooden
schoolhouse was constructed on Federal Highway north of Boynton Beach Boulevard. In 1909,
when Palm Beach County separated from Dade County,the school became known as the Boynton
Negro Schools.
In 1908, a group of civic-minded women banded together to improve the quality of life for
residents. The group was formally organized into the Boynton Woman's Club in 1909. The club
quickly succeeded in its main purpose: to provide a venue for local social affairs and to house a
lending library.
Boom Time Era
The Florida "Boom Time Era” was at its peak during the early 1920s. In 1920 Boynton Beach
became an incorporated town and in November of this year, a $10,000 bond was passed which
financed the $6,000 purchase of an ocean front park. Other early projects included the
construction of a jail and, in 1920, doubling the F.E.C. railroad tracks which serviced Boynton.

Within the next three years the town proceeded with paving streets and installing a water
treatment system and, in 1924,a volunteer fire department was organized. In 1925 the Seaboard
Coastline Railroad served the Boynton area.
Figure 2:Seaboard Airline Depot c.1950s(Boynton Beach City Library).
On February 20, 1924,the Commissioners of the Town of Boynton adopted and passed Ordinance
No. 37 which established segregation and set apart "separate residential limits or districts for
white and negro residents"'.The Ordinance set the boundaries for what was to be known as"The
Negro District within the Town of Boynton, Florida" while the remaining land or parcels of land
within the Town would be known as "The White District within the Town of Boynton, Florida".
The Ordinance made it illegal for black residents to reside "within the territorial limits of said
Town so set apart and established for the residence of white persons" and for white residents to
reside "within the territorial limits of said Town so set apart and established for the residence of
negroes." The penalty for violating this Ordnance was a fine of no more than $500, or
imprisonment for not more than 60 days, or both.
The black community, who primarily lived on Federal Highway to the north of Boynton Beach
Boulevard, was forced to move west. Many buildings were also moved including homes,
businesses,and the Boynton Elementary School which was moved to Wells Avenue and renamed
Boynton Colored Elementary.
On November 18, 1924, the Town Commission adopted and passed Ordinance No. 47 amending
Ordinance 37 by "extending and defining the boundaries of the separate residential limits or
districts for negro residents'17.
Enterprising men were developing large tracts of land throughout Boynton. James Hartley and
the Palm Beach-Boynton Development Company with K.D. Purdy began Lake Boynton Estates, a

subdivision at the west end of Ocean Avenue. Two additional platted areas increased the size of
Lake Boynton Estates.
Stile Hall, C.F. Knuth and C.O. Miller organized the Boynton Finance Corporation to cover all
aspects of real estate from construction to finance. The firm purchased tracts of land for both
residential and commercial development throughout the community. Two developments by
Knuth and Miller were found in Beverly Hills and Bower's Park. Hall with K.D Purdy developed
Lakeside Gardens and Boynton Heights, L.E. Perkins purchased 30 acres of the Carrie Knapp tract
west of town for redevelopment, and the Blake Company, owned by George H. Blake, developed
Boynton Hills which was originally the Hardee pineapple fields. The Blake Company's extensive
plans called for a "Grand Boulevard", which would accommodate 350 lots and the Blake Hotel.
During the height of the boom Frank J. Nutting of the Nutting and Perkins Real Estate Firm
confirmed a land sale exceeding $10,000 an acre. The newly named EI Dorado Park became the
costliest parcel in the area according to Nutting.
In 1925, Robert E. Wells, a Bahamian landowner and businessman, platted his property as the
Robert E. Wells Subdivision. The street, originally named Wells Avenue and now East Martin
Luther King Jr. Boulevard, became a thriving main street serving the black community$.
Also in 1925, a new Rosenwald School was built for the black community on the corner of
Seacrest Blvd. and NW 12th Ave. Rosenwald Schools were built primarily for the education of
African American children in the South in the early 20th century. The project was the product of
a partnership between Julius Rosenwald, CEO of Sears, Roebuck and Company and the African
American leader Booker T. Washington. From the 1910s to the early 1930s, over 5,000 Rosenwald
Schools were built in the southern states9.
In the second half of the 1920s, a series of unfortunate events began to unfold in Boynton. In
early 1925, citrus canker was discovered in the orange groves forcing the destruction of all citrus
groves in Boynton. Financial problems began to plague the town, tax assessments continued to
rise, recall elections and failed resolutions were topics of discussion, and resignations became
commonplace with municipal officers. While salaries for municipal workers were slashed and
bonds were burned, the voters of Boynton voted unanimously for the construction of a beach
front casino that cost nearly$12,000.The Florida Land Boom was coming to an end and Boynton
was deeply in debt.

In 1927, the Boynton Beach High School,
designed by William Manley King in the
Mediterranean Revival style, was completed.
However, the building was badly damaged
along with many others during the 1928
hurricane. Many people took refuge in the
new building only to be injured when the
auditorium gave way10
S{
Figure 3:Hurricane Damage to Nigh School, 1928(City of Baynton Beach).
Depression/New Deal/War Time Era
State legislative assistance alleviated some of Boynton's financial problems; however, concerns
regarding indebtedness from municipal projects reached a peak when residents on the east side
of the Intracoastal Waterway, which was earlier known as the East Coast Canal, served notice to
the town of their wish to separate from Boynton and start a new municipality. Boynton and the
eastside residents reached an agreement whereby the new municipality would assume
indebtedness in excess of$350,000. The agreement was finalized in 1931 with the formation of
two separate municipalities, Boynton and Boynton Beach.
On November 7, 1933, the Board of Town Commissioners passed and adopted Ordinance No.
13611. This racial "sunset law" stated that after December 1, 1933, white people over 18 years of
age could not be in the black section of town, and blacks could not be in the white section after
9 p.m. from October through May or 10 p.m. from June through September.
By 1935 the Town of Boynton began construction of a replacement for the old wooden bridge on
Ocean Avenue. The new bridge was financed with Depression Era funds supplied by the federal
government.
By 1939 the Town of Boynton Beach changed its name to Ocean Ridge. Within two years the
Town of Boynton also adopted a new name and became the Town of Boynton Beach.
The war years brought a different kind of living to Boynton residents as nighttime activities
ceased, blackouts were ordered along the shoreline, and patrols kept watch on the beaches
which were off-limits at night and partially limited in the day. Allied ships became the target of
German U-boats. During one four-month period, sixteen ships were torpedoed between Cape
Canaveral and Boca Raton.
In 1945, the Club Continental opened at 150 NE 10th Avenue. The first floor contained a bar area
and the second floor was used for dances and concerts. The club was a hub for black

entertainment from the 1950s to the 1960s and was part of the Chitlin' Circuit which was a
network of clubs, theaters, and other venues where black entertainers were allowed to perform
during the segregation era. Many artists that performed here for$400 a night would eventually
become household names such as James Brown, B.B. King, Fats Waller, and Guitar Slim12.
Modern Era
In 1951, the Palm Beach Post reported a meeting between the Boynton Negro Civic League and
the City Commission.The Civic League requested expansion of the black residential section of the
town, playgrounds for children, and beach bathing facilities for the black community. The
meeting was noted as being the first time the black community had taken part in a local
Commission meeting13
By the 1950s Boynton Beach was developing along the lines of other small South Florida cities. A
new city hall was built on the corner of Seacrest Boulevard and Boynton Beach Boulevard in 1958,
additional beach front property was purchased to extend recreational facilities, and Bethesda
Memorial Hospital was opened in 1959. Further improvements included construction of a new
civic center (1960), a new water treatment plant (1962), and a bridge over the Intracoastal at SE
15th Avenue (1967). From 1950 to 1960, Boynton's population grew from 2,543 to 10,400.
Private developers once again returned to the community. In the mid-1960s three large
residential projects began at Hampshire Gardens, Sterling Village, and the 415-acre
"Leisureville"14
In 2016, plans for the Town Square, major redevelopment project, were introduced. Located
between Boynton Beach Boulevard to the north, SE 211 Avenue to the south, Seacrest Boulevard
to the west, and SE/NE 11t Street to the east,the project included the demolition of almost every
structure except the vacant Boynton High School and the Elementary School (Schoolhouse
Children's Museum), both of which are historically designated. To date, a new City Hall, library,
town square park, children's playground, and amphitheater have been constructed,and the High
School has been rehabilitated for use as a cultural center.

The subdivision originally consisted of twelve blocks located between E. Boynton Beach
Boulevard to the north, SE 211 Avenue to the south, SE 1st Street to the west, and S. Federal
Highway to the east.The Florida East Coast Railway passes through the subdivision in a southwest
to northeast direction. The majority of the lots were rectangular in shape and similarly sized
although the lots adjacent to the railway were trapezoidal, and the lots on the east side of SE 1st
Street were larger. All the roads were originally forty feet wide apart from Ocean Avenue which
was fifty feet wide to signify its significance as the main east to west thoroughfare.
As can be seen below, the streets originally had names as opposed to the current numbers with
subject property located on Jessamine Street.

Figure 5: Town of Boynton Subdivision Plat 1898.
When the subject property was built, it would have been one of only a few houses in the
subdivision. As the map below indicates, by 1945, most development had taken place to the
north along Boynton Beach Boulevard and Ocean Avenue and to the east along South Federal
Highway.The development of the downtown area is exhibited along these streets which included
sites such as the Boynton High School,the Elementary School,the F.E.C. Railroad Station,the first
Boynton Woman's Club building, and a number of commercial structures along Ocean Avenue.
Very little development had taken place in the southwest of the subdivision.

Over time the subdivision hes continued to develop with e wide variety of uses and building
styles,sizes,and heights.The predominant land uses are commercial, industrial,and multi-family
residential Single-family residential units are mostly located in the southwest section of the
subdivision.
The Andrews House is located beside other single-family homes in the subdivision to the north,
west, and south. Also tothe north are one-story storage units. Tothe east, on the opposite side
of the railroad tracks are oonnnneroie| properties and e seven-story apartment and perking
structure.The apartment structure has somewhat impacted the setting of the historic structure.
The partial aerial image below shows the residential structures are similar in size tothe Andrews
House and the setbacks are consistent although the Andrews House sits on three lots. The
oonnnnercie| and multi-family developments on C>oeen Avenue to the north and across the
railroad tracks to the east mostly have larger footprints and are located on larger sites.
The quality of landscaping and associated features such as fences, driveways, boundary walls,
vegetation, and level ofmaintenance varies from property to property along SE 11t Avenue and
SE3ru Street. The roadways are surfaced with asphalt and there are no sidewalks.
Records indicate the property operated as a guest house from as early as 1913 until at least 1925

316 SE 151 Avenue is an early residence located in the Town of Boynton Subdivision which was
the first subdivision platted in the City by early pioneers Byrd Spilman Dewey and Fred Dewey.
The house is one of the earliest structures built in the City and is the oldest structure remaining
within the subdivision which developed into the downtown area. Based on the above, 316 SE 1st
Avenue is eligible for historic designation under criterion "a", "association with events that have
made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of the City's history" as it is associated with
the early development of the City of Boynton Beach.

Description
The single-family residence at 306 SE 1st Avenue, built 1907, sits on a corner lot on the southeast
corner of SE 1st Avenue and SE 3rd Street. The north facing lot measures approximately 147 feet
wide by 137 feet deep. The residence is setback approximately twenty-five feet from the front
property line and is approached by a concrete paver walkway.There is no driveway or delineated
parking on the property. There are no fences or walls on the north, west, or east property lines
although there is a wooden fence on the south property line. The property is adjacent to the
Florida East Coast Railway tracks which lie just to the east. The property was originally
constructed as a single-family home but is currently vacant.
As shown in Figure 11 below, the structure was built by Mr. B. L. Kapp in 1907. Surveys show the
property was originally located on Lot 5, Block 11 of the Town of Boynton Subdivision (it was later
moved to Lot 4). As shown in Figure 12 below, he purchased Lots 4 and 6 for$35 in 1909.

The property is noted as being Boynton's oldest residence17.
The structure, which comprises the two-story main body of the house and two single-story
attachments, is irregular in plan and has a total floor area of 1,600 square feet, 1,404 square feet
of which is under air18. The single-story attachment to the south elevation appears to be original
and the single-story attachment to the east elevation appears to be a later addition. Construction
is of a concrete block stem wall foundation supporting a wood frame structure with exterior
novelty wood siding. The two-story and one-story sections have pitched gable roofs surfaced with
wood shakes. The north and south roof slopes of the two-story section contain a projecting
dormer window. The entire structure is surrounded by a wooden deck supported by concrete
piers.
The north (front) elevation of the two-story structure is of novelty drop siding. The covered
entrance porch structure comprises a pitched gable roof surfaced with wood shakes supported
by two simple square wooden columns and simple wood brackets. Two simple wood railings
comprising square top and bottom rails with square spindles are attached between the porch
columns and house wall. The porch eaves contain exposed rafters, and the gable contains

decorative fish scale shingles. A porch light with globe fitting hangs in the center of the porch
roof. The top half of the central wooden front door is glazed with a single-light and the bottom
half contains three rectangular recessed panels. Above the front door, projecting from the roof
slope is a dormer window with a pitched, wood shake roof, exposed rafters, and decorative fish
scale shingles in the gable.There are two single-windows at first floor level and a double-window
in the dormer. All are covered with louvered metal shutters; however, Figure 14 below indicates
the windows are wood frame, double-hung with a two-over-two lighting configuration. There is
decorative wood trim around the door and windows and at the structure corners.Two decorative
exterior lights with globe fittings are attached to the top corners of the fagade.
The north elevation of the one-story section attached to the east elevation is of similar
construction to the two-story section. The windows are covered with louvered metal shutters;
however, Figure 14 below, shows them to be either fixed or casement, with a two-over-two
lighting configuration.

Additions and Alterations
Very few records exist on this property; therefore, most of the following was determined from
an exterior survey, photographs from the survey, historic photographs, plats and surveys, and
information found online.
As can be seen from the 1924 and 1940 Sanborn Maps and the surveys below, the structure was
moved thirty-seven feet to the east in 1998. The relocation of a structure can have a significant
adverse effect on integrity of location and setting. However, as the distance moved was small,
the structure is still on the same site, and the structure is still oriented in the same direction, the
negative impact is minimal.

As can be seen when comparing the 1986 and 1996 photographs, very few changes appear to
have occurred during this period apart from a new roof covering. As no original construction
details exist, the original roof covering cannot be determined.
The fenestration pattern on the north and west elevations of the two-story element appears to
be unaltered from the original design apart from the addition of an exterior staircase and second
floor entry door on the west elevation. The photographs indicate this alteration was undertaken
prior to 1986. The north, east, and possibly the south elevations of the one-story section have
been altered to incorporate a series of windows on all three elevations.
Other alterations include replacement siding, construction of a new foundation when the house
was moved in 1998,the installation of a wood shake roof, and the addition of a wood deck around
the structure.
Access to the interior was not possible during the survey; however, it does appear to have been
altered per the City of Boynton Beach Library archive which states "Contractors John Dority and
20
306 SE 1St Ave.—Local Historic Designation
O'Shea stripped the walls to the framing,sandblasted the paint off, used salvaged Dade Pine(now
extinct) when necessary."19 This work was undertaken when the structure was moved.
Integrity
Chapter 4, Article IX, Section 6.13.1 of the City of Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations
"Designation of Historic Properties and Districts" states:
"Guidelines for Historic Designation. To qualify as a Property or a District, individual
properties must have significance in American history, architecture, archeology,
engineering or culture and possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials,
workmanship,feeling, and association."
As noted above the structure is not in its original location; however, as it was moved only thirty-
seven feet, remains on the same site, and is oriented in the same direction, the negative impact
on the integrity of location is minimal. The subdivision has developed over time with the
introduction of multi-family structures and commercial structures of varying architectural styles
and sizes. These newer, larger structures are most apparent to the east and do have some
negative impact on the setting. However,these structures are on the opposite side of the railroad
tracks to the east. The properties near the subject are mainly one- and two-story residential
structures. The property, therefore, retains sufficient integrity of location and setting to convey
its significance.
The property has been altered; however, the alterations are consistent with the architectural
style of the house. The addition, exterior staircase, inserted second floor door on the west
elevation, and the deck ae reversible. The essential exterior form, structure, and style have been
retained. The property retains much of its integrity of design.
It is unclear how much of the original exterior material has been retained; however, apart from
the windows, it appears most have been replaced. It is unknown if fish scale shingles or a wood
shake roof were part of the original design. The integrity of material has been adversely
impacted.
A loss of original exterior materials also impacts the workmanship of the house on the exterior.
However, if the original framework has been retained,this will exhibit a high degree of traditional
workmanship associated with the early construction techniques required to build a house of this
type, likely without the aid of a set of plans. The integrity of workmanship has been partially
impacted.
Feeling is how a property conveys a particular period of time through physical features. The
materials and workmanship have been compromised; however, the addition and replacement
materials are compatible with and appropriate for the style. The structure relates to the feeling
19 City of Boynton Beach Library Archives Manuscript Collection—A0023—Andrews House Collection.
20
306 SE 1St Ave.—Local Historic Designation
of residential life during the Pioneer Era in Boynton Beach. The property, therefore, retains
sufficient integrity of feeling.
Wood Frame Vernacular structures are the earliest form of construction within the City of
Boynton Beach and the subject is the oldest surviving example of this style in the City. The
structure is sufficiently intact to convey the property's relationship to the Pioneer Era and the
early development of the City. The property retains its integrity of association.
Based on the above, 306 SE 1st Avenue is eligible for historic designation under criterion "c"
"embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction" as this is a
rare and the oldest surviving example of a Wood Frame Vernacular residence in the City. The
structure retains sufficient integrity to convey its significance and contributes to the historic
fabric of the downtown area.

Byrd Spilman Dewey and Fred Dewey
Byrd Spilman Dewey was born Julia Bird Spilman in Covington, Kentucky to Jonathan Edwards
Spilman and Eliza Sarah Taylor. Her maternal great-grandfather was Colonel Richard Taylor,
father of President Zachary Taylor. In 1877, she moved to Salem, Illinois where her father, a
Presbyterian Minister, received a pastorate. It was there she met Frederick Sidney Dewey. They
were married on September 25, 1877.
The Deweys moved to Jacksonville, Florida in 1881 where they purchased 20 acres of land in
Zellwood to grow vegetables and raise an orange grove. However, as the land was unsuitable for
their plans, they sold the land and moved to Eustis where Fred became a bookkeeper. As life in

Eustis was unsatisfying for them,they moved back to Jacksonville where, in 1885, Byrd gave birth
to Elizabeth Dewey who died in infancy.
In 1887, the Deweys heard of a new frontier opening in Lake Worth County and purchased 76
acres of land west of Lake Worth. They cultivated approximately two acres of the land. During
this time, Fred worked as a bookkeeper and carpenter in Palm Beach33
In 1892, the Deweys purchased 160 acres of land at the southern end of Lake Worth. In 1895,
she sold 120 acres of this land to William Seelye Linton, a new speculator from Michigan who
made a small down payment of$100. In 1897, Linton sold 40 acres of this land to Major Boynton,
former editor and publisher of the Port Huron Press and owner of the recently built Boynton
Hotel. However, the sale was not completed as Linton, who had not paid the Dewey's in full for
the land, had no deed.This left the area known as Boynton in turmoil especially as Major Boynton
had formed the Southern Florida Land Company and sold town lots on his land for$50.
In September 1897, the Deweys filed a foreclosure lawsuit against Linton and Boynton for
nonpayment which resulted in them regaining their land. Neither Boynton nor Linton ever filed
a plat for the Town of Boynton. In 1898, the Deweys filed plats for the town of Boynton and for
Dewey's Subdivision. As the Deweys were friends with Major Boynton, they named the town in
his honor. Fred Dewey sold lots with genuine deeds to settlers and, as a consequence, served as
land agent for several interests in the area including Henry M. Flagler's Florida East Coast (F.E.C.)
Railway which had been granted property for building the railroad through to Miami34
Byrd Spilman Dewey was also an accomplished author with her first known work appearing in
the Florida Farmer and Fruit Grower newspaper in 1887. Also in that year, was her first article
published in a national magazine, the Christian Union. In 1891, she became the first columnist in
the Tropical Sun newspaper. In 1896, she was published in the Lake Worth Historian, which was
produced by the pioneer women of Lake Worth as a fund raiser for the Royal Poinciana Chapel.
In 1899, Little Brown & Company, published her first book Bruno, which sold more than 10,000
copies throughout the country in the first year. Her second book, The Blessed Isle and its Happy
Families was published in 1907, and her third book, From Pine Woods to Palm Groves, was
published in 1909 in serialized form in The Florida Review. Her last published work in 1927 was
an article in the Florida Naturalist titled "Some Bird Notes".
After her husband's death in 1919, Byrd worked with the Audubon Society where, in 1920, she
was named the field secretary. She moved to Jacksonville in 1928 where she died in 194235

Figure 27:Mrs. Katie Andrews Figure 28: Charles Lee Andrews
(Palm Beach Post October 25, (Boynton Beach Historical Society
1864)• Website"Boynton's Oldest Nouse").
Katie Andrews was married in 1910 to Major Charles Lee Andrews when "...she was not quite 18
years old..." in Gulfport, Mississippi. They moved to the downtown section of Boynton in 1915.
She operated a general store until her husband died in 1922. Katie sold out and bought 306 SE
15t Avenue which she ran as a guest house.
Major Andrews was the son of a family of plantation owners in Louisiana. Mrs. Andrews'
grandparents bought and sold slaves. Her grandfather was one of a family of four boys who, at
first, lived in New York. Her grandfather and a brother moved south where they bought slaves
from their brothers in the north. During the Civil War, two brothers fought for the North and two
for the South. When they were not fighting, they would visit each other's camps as many of the
soldiers did. All brothers survived the war. During World War II, Mrs. Andrews served as an
aircraft spotter. In 1964, she was the only known living widow of a Civil War veteran in Palm
Beach County38.
Based on the above, 316 NE 15t Avenue is eligible for historic designation under criterion "b"
"association with the lives of persons significant in the City's past" as the property is associated
with several pioneer families who contributed to the settlement and development of the City of
Boynton Beach.
