Wanton ( 3 Washington Description and Project Specifics Scope of Work - (Maximum characters 5000.) Constructed in 1927, the Boynton Beach High Scholl, affectionately know as "old Mangrove" was the pride of the Boynton Beach Conmrunity. Located on Ocean Avenue. Boynton Beach's original "main street'. the tuilding is sired prominently as the "West Anchor" in the City's S t00 nullion redevelopment campus. It is adjacent to the former Boynton Beach School, which then became Boynton Beach Elementary School and has been transformed into a children's museum. The 1927 building's style contrasted to the outdated elementary school's earlier "four square" style. The Old Mangrove I nigh School was designed mostly in the well - established Mediterranean Revival Style, but also shows elements of an up and coming style that would make South Florida famous, now known as "Art Deco ". No longer in use by the Palm Beach County School District, the building is currently vacant and badly in need of rehabilitation. The structure has plenty of quality spaces that can be used for functions other than education. The most interesting of these is the itrymnstorium, a space that was re -built after collapsing during the 1928 hurricane. This large specs has a stage, high ceilings, and an abundance of daylight, which provides what could be wonderful opportunity for a multipurpose performance or gathering hall. It is with these opportunities in mind that we look at the Historic Boynton Beach High School as a potential community cultural center, There could be meeting rooms and exhibit spaces where there were previously classrooms. A reception hall could be located in the former cafeteria to host catered events. The high school retains most of its original interior features and details. Most of the classreans have their original divided chalk and bulletin boards. For natural ventilation, there are an abundance of transoms. some occurring where there are no door openings. Much of the original woodwork and doors remain. The gynnralorimu remains almost completely original. It has large windows providing light and natural ventilation. of interest, also is the original spectator seating, which. unfortunately is in poor condition and of very limited value in any future redevelopment scheme. The original barrel- vaul(ed steel trusses and exposed structural wood decking are valuable features that add to the quality of this space. The stage remains and its bare finish allows for viewing of the historic building materiaL hollow core terra cotta file infrll, which is used throughout most of the building's conswction. Many ofthe original exterior details remain and no major additions or renovations have been done to increase or change :he building's size or function. The majority of the window openings remain, some with twisted cotunns and cast stone trim. The adaptive reuse and historic preservation of the Historic Boynton Beach High School, the development plan, conceptual designs and project program is proposed to be accomplished in three parts as follows 1) The stabilization phase or the "drying -in" phase of the building 2) The programmed rehabilitation adaptive reuse and interior build -out 3) The site devetoprrent/landscaping /civil and hardscape development https:H dosgraiits. con GrantApplicatioii/PriiitPreview ?gid =3563 6/15/2017 Page 4 of 10 1) The stabilization phase will ensure a new roof assembly; replacing the old will provide a tight/water proof envelope that Y411 prevent against water intrusion into the building. Secondly, all interior debris will be removed and the building "dried out" using mechanical fan exlraclionlvenliletion. The windows will be boarded up with plywood and the outside of the building patched, cleaned and prepared to be painted. Windows and doors will be repaired or replaced as required. We anticipate this phase to take two to three months during which construction documents will be prepared concurrently. 2) The Rehabilitation Adaptive Reuse: Construction document plans will be prepared to preserve the architecture of the historic building together with identifying /solving of historic elements including the interiors, thus restoring the character of the historic nostalgia of its original use. ADA compliance, including the addition of an elevator and modernization of the bathrooms will occur. Mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection and lighting systems will be repaired or replaced. Flooring, walls, ceilings, and woodwork will be refinished or repainted. The reuse program will take into consideration the spirit of a vibrant cultural center that will be enjoyed by the community at large for years to come. 3) The Site Development will be designed with historic elements and highlight the composure of the 1927 bu lding period. The landscape architect together with the civil engineer will design the landscapelhardscape per the latest building codes and regulations with the approval of the client's program. The final completed construction documents will take into consideration the construction schedule and business development plan with a complete defined program use to satisfy the City of Boynton Beach, CRA and the community.

In the past, redevelopment was its biggest threat. Over lime, the building envelope has lost its ability to keep out rain water. The roof, windows and doors have been compromised to the extent that rain water has been allowed to penetrate the building at several locations. There are now daylight penetrating holes where rain enters. This requires immediate attention to roof replacement and roof sheathing repair. Structural repair of portions of wood roof and floor framing is desperately needed. If the roof replacement does not occur, there is possibility of structural fail ure to certain portions of the roof and floor. Rain penetration through other areas, such as windows and doors, is allowing for deterioration of historical elements and materials. Eliminating the rain entry will stop deterioration of hisloricaay important components and allow for them to be used in the rehabilitation. Exposure to natural elements has also allowed insects and mold to damage historically significant wood and plaster. If stopped now, some of the wood and piaster can still be used in the rehabilitation. Fortunately, the city's recent decision to save the high school has eliminated the redevelopment threat that has existed for years. After being on the Florida Trust's "11 Most Endangered Historic Sites" list this is welcome news. The historic high school building is intended to become an important part of the downtown redevelopment plan.

Please explain the historic significance for the property /site. - (Maximum characters 1500.) The high school was designed by William Manley King and constructed In 1927. Mr. King was the architect of many palm Beach County Schools. The school was designed with many Mediterranean Revival elements. The two main entries of the front (south) etevation are prime examples of the style, with many classical details, such as arches, columns, and a portico appearance in the second story window arrangements. The window proportions and organization are typical of the Mediterranean Revival style. The old Mangrove High School is a proud reminder of Boynton Beach's history. The building is sited on Boynton Beach's prominent Ocean Avenue in the City's civic area. The high school served the community until 1997, giving Boynton Beach over 70 years of high school graduates. When it was originally built, high school buildings were monuments to civic pride. They also doubled as community centers and adult education centers. High Schools such as old Mangrove, were built quite elaborately and meant to last to serve their community indefinitely and help give the City Its image. This building is one of the most important landmarks In Boynton Beach's beautiful historic downtown. To lose a magnificent landmark such as this would be to lose part of Boynton Beach's history and memories. Every effort should be made to find the means and funds to stabilize, and preserve this magnificent building for the enjoyment of Boynton Beach's community and visitors from throughout palm Beach County and beyond.

All exterior repairs and alterations to the structure and site must be reviewed by either Staff or the Historic Resources Preservation Board to ensure they meet the requirements of the City Historic Preservation Ordinance, the Historic District Design Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. Although no review is required for interior alterations and repairs, Staff strongly encourages the retention of interior materials and spaces to allow for the possible future submission of a National Register designation application. The building has been vacant for approximately 15-20 years. The roof requires urgent repairs as water ingress is causing damage to the interior flooring and the ceiling and wall plaster. There was a report in 2015 that barrel tiles had fallen from the roof. Annual Visitation What is the estimated or anticipated Annual Visitation for the project property or site? 100,000 What is the basis of these estimates? " Heritage Tourism is recognized as a fast- growing segment of the travel Industry. These tourists tend to be educated and well- heeled and they Oil patronize historic sites and nearby eating establishments and retail shops as well. The High School and neighboring Children's Museum, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, provide the downtown area with a rare historic destination, as this is one of the few places in Florida that two historic school buildings occupy adjacent sites. With proper marketing, foot traffic to both sites will increase. Cultural Tourism is a',so growing in Florida, Redevelopment of the High School anchored by cuhural and artistic uses could have considerable impact in terms of drawing visitors and tourists to Boynton Beach, providing new, 24 -7 activities in the downtown core and its concurrent economic spin -offs. The Boynton Beach CRA and Arts Commission have led the development and installation of the Boynton Beach Avenue of the Arts. City leaders have considered the development of cultural uses and art installations on a broader basis as a new theme and vehicle for downtown. As a cultural and arts - centered development the Old High School would be the natural anchor for the emergence of a broader downtown arts district. Economic Impact and Maintenance Costs Direct Economic Impact - (Maximum characters 1500,)' The rehabilitation of the Historic High School will serve as the anchor for the development of the new Downtown West End. It will stimulate new investment and create new direct and indirect employment in the downtown area. The direct employment will be from the new services which will be associated with functions such as event catering, and educational and arts programming. Creating a pedestrian friendly cultural and civic campus will draw in tourists, thus increasing sales for the surrounding local businesses. Street level activity can be generated day and night. And, because or its size, multiple activities can be run simultaneously, Due to its proximity to other city cultural assets, it will be very easy to run concurrent indoor and outdoor events. The preservation of the High School reinforces the area's historic character by rehabilitating the neighborhood, not just a single building. By Increasing positive publicity and name recognition for the City of Boynton Beach, the transformation of the immediate neighborhood will begin and dramatically alter the public perception of the downtown area. This re- branding of Boynton Beach's downtown will create a new vital image for the City and the Historic High School will be its landmark.

" The historic rehabilitation of the high school will bring the building in ADA compliance making it accessible to the disabled. The addition or an elevator and improved ramps and bathroom modifications will make the building accessible to everyone. An exhibit of how the sad saga of segregation played a part In the history of the Boynton Beach High School will be housed in the school. Originally an all -white school, the exhibit will bring awareness to school segregation and how it was overcome. Although the Supreme Court declared segregated educational facilities were "Inherently unequal" In Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, it supplied no timetable for school desegregation. A second Supreme Court ruling in 1955 declared "a reasonable and prompt start toward full compliance." In 1965 in Palm Beach County, of the 15,000 minority students, only 137 attended predominantly white schools. In 1966, with the passage of the Civil Rights Act which urged school districts to desegregate or lose their federal funding, schools began to change and in 1973 a U. S. District Judge issued the final ruling declaring the Palm Beach County District to be officially integrated. Educational Benefits - (Maximum characters 1500.)' Two primary educational components will be created. Firstly, in the High School an exhibit chronicling the history of the building will show a timeline, photos, newspaper articles and mementos of the building's long life as a functioning school. Also, photos and text highlighting the building's historic rehabilitation process will be displayed. The site is currently listed on the Downtown Heritage Trail and the Cultural Resources Mobile Application, both of which are part of the city's award - winning Heritage Education Program. The second educational component will be in the use of the building itself which will serve as a location for art Gasses, and artist's studios. Additionally, the large public assembly space can be used for art exhibits,educationat lectures and to show films. Public Awareness - (Maximum characters 1500.)' Press releases will be issued to local and regional print and electronic media outlets throughout the rehabilitation chronicling the progress, significance, and history of the project. The City will utilize its existing website to feature photos and updates on the school. Local television, radio and newspaper interviewers will be contacted to run feature stories. Color renderings of the building's proposed interior and exterior rehabilitation can be created and circulated. A slide show will be developed for use at speaking engagements to Iota' historic and civic groups. The Boynton Beach's and Palm Beach County's Historic Soceties will be approached regarding possible cross marketing efforts. Previous groups involved in the campaign "to Save Did Mangrove" should be contacted to share their mailing lists and resources. This could serve as the seed for anew website, "Friends of the Historic High School' which would promote current activities at the building. In addition, periodic e-mail blasts and newsletters can be sent. Signage and banners such as "Time to Go Back to School" can announce the completion of the project and will he prominently displayed on the building. A formal Grand Opening Ceremony will be held.
