Warren Adams, Historic Preservation Planner, advised the CLG application had been
mailed to the National Park Service. An expedited review was requested. A
confirmation was expected by the end of October. The State had also requested
funding for the grant application, but as of yet, had not received authority to allocate any
funding for the heritage trails. Design guidelines work was ongoing. A report had just
been issued titled "A Model for Identifying and Evaluating the Historic Significance of
Post -World War 11 Housing". The report covered many of the homes that Mr. Adams
had to look at plus many other types of housing.

informing owners of adjacent and abutting properties, determined by the Histor

Mr. Adams advised he could now move ahead with the mission style property on SW 1st

and the Barton Memorial Cemetery.

This item was discussed some time ago and was the proposed demolition of three
structures. The Board approved the demolition because there was nothing significant
on the outside of any of the buildings, with the condition that access would be gained to
ensure any salvageable materials were going to be reused and to record the buildings.
The buildings are in such poor condition, it was doubtful anything could be salva•-
o -
eone wanted access to see if they wished to salvage anything, Mr. Adams could
arrange access. The fans would be removed and used in the new building. Whatever
the architect could reuse would be sold for reuse elsewhere.
6. New Business:
Mr. Adams advised he received an application for a permit to demolish a structure. Th
structure was over 50 years old so he was required to review it. Mr. Adams describ
the property and showed pictures of the property. The property was in very po
condition. The owner had de inquiries about rehabilitating the structures b
determined it was too expensive, even with ad valorem tax incentives. He had provid
concept plans for the proposed manew structure. Based on the information provided ains
inspection of the property, Mr. Adams advised he signed off on the demolition permit.
B. Florida Master Site File survey
Mr. Adams advised he was surveying all properties built prior to 1964. The first sury
will be starting within the next few weeks and anyone wishing to gain survey experien
could join him. He had been working with the GIS team to determine the quickest w
to get the survey completed. He was also preparing a letter that would be sent to th
most significant sites identified to encourage the owners to consider designation i Th
reason this was being done now was assuming there would the CLG certification by thl
end of the month, the tax incentive could be offered.

Mr. Adams mentioned there are four areas of scrub land in the City that have never

of them lies between two lakes, one was almost completely under a lake, one was in an
area of marsh land, and one was in an area of scrub land. At some point, he would be
walking these sites with archeologist, Chris Davenport. The plan would be to identify
where there might be some potential archeology. These sites would never be
developed and it would be great to find something.

Ms. Ready provided an update on the Old High School. At the last City Commissicna
meeting, the Commission voted to begin negotiations with the team that was working
the project. They would start hammering out the ownership details as far as the faca
and limit them as to what they could do. The team was beginning to look for fundi
possibilities. I
Ms. Stabile requested an update on the Women's Circle house, Mr. Adams advised t

IV. SIGNIFICANCE
A. CRITERIA FOR SIGNIFICANCE
A site or structure must have significance in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering
or culture and possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, and
association. Usually, a structure must also be at least 50 years old.
In addition to having integrity, the site or structure must also meet at least one of the following
criteria. Check all criteria that apply to the site or structure.
❑ Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of
the City's history.
❑ Is associated with the lives of persons significant in the City's past.
X Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction, or
represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values, or represents a significant
and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction.
Ordinarily cemeteries, birthplaces, graves • • figures, properties owned by religious
institutions or used for religious purposes, structures that have been moved from their original
locations, reconstructed historic buildings, properties primarily commemorative in nature, and
properties that have achieved significance within the past 50 years shall not be considered eligible
for the Boynton Beach Register of Historic Places. However, such properties will qualify if they are
integral parts of districts that do meet the criteria or if they fall within the following categories:
a. A religious property deriving primary significance from architectural or artistic distinction or
historical importance; •
b. A building or structure removed from its original location but which is primarily significant for
architectural value, or which is the surviving structure most importantly associated with a historic
person • event; or
c. A birthplace or grave of a historical figure of outstanding importance if there is no appropriate site
or building associated with his or her productive life; or
d. A cemetery that derives its primary importance from graves of persons of transcendent
importance, from age, from distinctive design features, or from association with historic events; or
e. A reconstructed building when accurately executed in a suitable environment and presented in a
dignified manner as part of a restoration master • and when no • building • structure with
the same association has survived; •
f. A property primarily commemorative in intent if design, age, tradition, ♦ symbolic value has
invested it with its own exceptional • •

Whereas the Criteria for Significance listed above identify the site or structure's association with
history, the Area of Significance identifies sub -areas within the history field to which the property
relates. At least one area of significance from the following list must be identified for a site or
structure to be eligible. Check the Areas of Significance that apply.

"the length of time when a property was associated with important -events, activities, or persons, or
attained the characteristics which • it for National Register listing. Period of significance
usually
!-• with the date when • activities • events began giving the property its
historic significance; this is often a date of construction. Foe prehistoric properties, the period of
significance is the broad span of time about which the site or district is likely to provide information;
it is often the period associated with a particular cultural group."
For the site of an important event, such as a pivotal five-month labor strike, the period of
significance is the time when the event occurred. For properties associated with historic trends,
such as commercial development, the period of significance is the span of time when the property
actively contributed to the trend.
For a property associated with a significant person, the period of significance is usually the length of
time the property was associated with the important person.
For architecturally significant properties, the period of significance is the date of construction and/or
the •. • any • alterations and additions.
The period of significance for an archeological site is the estimated time when it was occupied or
used for reasons related to its importance, for example, 3000-2500 B.C.

When the subject •# was built, it was likely
one of the first houses in the subdivision. A small
number of additional early houses in the Mission
• Mediterranean Revival styles still exist in close
proximity to the subject. Interestingly, these early
houses were not built to the east of the subdivision
of a slight incline. This location would protect the
properties from flooding and would offer the most
prominent sites in the subdivision. The -adjacent
photo • the subject on the right just visible
behind the trees at the top • the incline.
Over time the subdivision has developed to become an established residential neighborhooti
zoned mainly for residential use but with some commercial zoning to the northern lots fronting
Boynton Beach Boulevard. Based on construction dates from the Property Appraiser website, the
most significant period of growth in the subdivision occurred in the 1950s. This is to be expected
as the City's population grew from 2,543 in 1950 to 10,400 in 19603
Development in the subdivision is low rise with the buildings being one or two stories in height.
S,ites range from one lot to four lots in size. By viewing an aerial image of the surrounding area
most properties appear to have similar setbacks and their footprints appear to be similar in size.
The quality of landscaping and associated features such as fences, driveways, boundary walls,
vegetation, and level of maintenance varies from property to property. The roadways are surfaced
with asphalt and there are concrete sidewalks and grass swales to both sides of the road. Some
property • have planted trees in the swales.
Like many older subdivisions, the general area exhibits natural growth patterns comprising a
number of architectural styles and properties in various states of repair that have been altered
*ver time to meet the requirements of their owners. There are no examples of inappropriate
,i,evelopment that adversely affect the setting of the subject property.
'• on the above, integrity • location is retained as the structure is in its original location. With
regard to setting, although the neighborhood has developed over time, the changes signify a
natural progression. Uses, setbacks, and heights are complementary to the subject property and,
as such, there has been no significant adverse effect on the subject's setting. The integrity of the
site setting has, therefore, been retained.
�!- ♦ Ill T1 U •,
The residential structure is of wood frame construction with a coating of textured stucco, a flat
roof surfaced with composition roll, and a continuous poured concrete foundation. There is one
external chimney on the west elevation and the windows are aluminum frame single -hung sash.
The exterior decorative details are typical of the Mission style and comprise textured stucco,
.•' .•' and scuppers.
The structure comprises a rectangular two story element with a one-story front porch, and one-
story rear section, part of which appears to be a later addition. The Property Appraiser website
shows the total living area as 2,224 square feet. The building was designed as a single-family
residence and appears to have been used as such since its construction.

Externally, very few alterations have been carried out. There is a small addition to the rear,
Bahama shutters have been installed, the windows have been replaced, the porch windows have
been screened, a wood deck and pergola have been added, a shed roof has been added to the
side entrance, and decorative elements such as a stained glass window have been added.
The rear one-story addition is very small and does not dominate the original building, cannot be
seen from the right-of-way, could be removed in the future to return the building to its original
design, and is identifiable as an addition because of the different stucco texture and pattern
applied. The addition can; therefore, be described as an appropriate alteration.
In 1994 Bahama shutters were added to the windows. This style of shutter is appropriate for the
architectural style and they could be easily removed without causing damage to the structure.
The original Florida Master Site File (FMSF) entry from 1986 indicates the windows at that time
were wood frame sash construction. It is likely these were the original windows. No lighting
configuration is given; however the poor quality photo seems to indicate a multiple light
configuration. The updated entry from 1996 lists the windows as being 1/1 double hung sash,
suggesting the original windows had been replaced; however, they cannot be seen in the
photograph because of the shutters.

Feeling is how property expresses its aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of

With regard to workmanship and materials, many of the changes carried out to the property
comprise the addition of elements such as space, shutters, porch screens, ornamentation, etc,
Therefore, most of the original materials and examples of high-quality workmanship remain. The
trily materials removed have been the original windows and some interior flooring that required
repair.
now compared with when it was built and although the subdivision has improved, the chang
have been carried out appropriately with regard to the setting. The subject is surrounded
residential properties, the maximum height of nearby buildings is two stories, the structures, Ja
set back from the road and property boundaries, and all are appropriate in terms of scale a
massing. E
The subject; therefore retains its integrity with regard to feeling as, overall, the setting, desig
workmanship, and materials have been retained and they evoke a sense of a past era.

A Boynton Beach woman recently was honored with a
national landscaping award, and she's not even a
member of the garden club.
Sophie Janssen, a resident of Boynton Hills, was
honored in April after catching the eye of new Boynton
Garden Club president Audrey Gerger.
"Her landscaping wasjust beautiful," said Gerger, wh*
nominated Janssen through District 10. "There are so
many different clubs and she won the Residential
Landscape Award."

"It was their annual meeting in Boca," Janssen said of winning the award. "Ajury went to all the
gardens nominated and three awards were given out. Public Landscaping, the Commercial Award and
Private Residence. The award was chosen for places from Boca to Vero Beach."
"This honor could happen to anyone," she said. "Audrey submitted it for me and that shows that my
home enhances our community."

"The guy who won the Commercial Award has a car wash that looks like a Key West home instead of
an ugly car wash," she said.
She said seeing the smiles from people who stop and stare, and making someone's day a little brighter
makes it all worthwhile.
"A woman came by with her daughter and said the little girl wanted to walk by the- pretty house,"
Janssen said, "It is all about stopping to smell the roses."
Originally from the south of France, Janssen said her grandfather Georges got her into gardening, after
she made fun of him as a child.

As for her home, she said, "I don't know what I'm doing but it works. I do butterfly weeds for the

"the length of time when a property was associated with important events, activities, or persons, or
attained the characteristics which qualify it for National Register listing. Period of significance
usually begins with the date when significant activities or events began giving the property its
historic significance; this is often a date of construction. For prehistoric properties, the period of
g,ignificance is the broad span of time about which the site or district is likely to provide information;
it is often the period associated with a particular cultural group."
For the site of an important event, such as a pivotal five-month labor strike, the period o
'i
significance is the time when the event occurred. For properties associated with historic trends
such as commercial development, the period of significance is the span of time when the propert
2ctively contributed to the trend.
For a property associated with a significant person, the period of significance is usually the length of
time the property was associated with the important person.
For architecturally significant properties, the period of significance is the date of construction and/or
the dates of any significant alterations and additions.
The period of significance for an archeological site is the estimated time when it was occupied or
used for reasons related to its importance, for example, 3000-2500 B.C.
Identify and explain the periods of significance associated with the site or structure:
c.1919 — 1959. Approximate date of construction until the time of Oscar Magnuson's death.

Alterations
The available building records date back to 1979 and show the following alterations:
• Aug. 1979: Construction of a screen enclosure. This has been removed.
• Aug. 1979: Installation of a sign "Plants for Pittance". This has been removed.
• Jun. 1981: Installation of a 3' shadowbox fence and a 4' chain link fence. These
have been removed.
Oct. 1981: Installation of a canopy. It appears that this may have been the rear
canopy which was recently removed.
Fig. 21: Rear Canopy (10/26/11)
Installation of a 6'and 4' wood fence.
Sep. 2001: Installation of a fabric awning canopy. This was added to the front of the
building and was recently removed.
Fig. 22: Fabric Awning Canopy (8/4/11)
Installation of a 6' wood fence and gate.
• Removal of the front porch, date unknown.
• Replacement of first floor NW corner sash window with jalousie window. Date unknown
although this was likely done at the same time the rear addition was built.
• Removal of screen door and replacement of front door, date unknown.
• Replacement of metal shingles with asphalt shingles. Date unknown; however, the metal
shingles were in place during the 1996 Florida Master Site File survey.
• Addition of lattice foundation infill, date unknown.
e A small porch was added in 19701. This has subsequently been removed.
At one point on the site there was a one -car wood garage, an outhouse and a shed 2 , all
of which have been demolished. The Florida Master Site File from 1996 indicates there
was an • structure on the site at that time; however, there is no indication as to
what structure it was. The following photo shows an accessory structure to the rear of the

Note: originally, the family name was Magnusson; however, at some point an 's' was dropped to
change the name to Magnuson.
Oscar Sten Magnusson was born in Sweden on August 11, 1875. The farm in which Oscar was
born is now owned by the 7 th generation of the family4. The following photograph shows the

Oscar and his brother Hjalmar moved from Sweden to Chicago and at some point following this
they moved to Florida. It is not known why they chose Boynton Beach but it is likely they were
encouraged to move to Florida by the numerous advertisements being run at the time.
It is not clear when Oscar purchased the subject property; however, we know that he lived on a
shed on the site prior to building the existing house5. It is likely he built the house around the timt;

records also show that in 1926 7 and 19278, he also owned lots 7 and 8 on the same block. These
lots are immediately to the north of the subject property. It is not known when Oscar purchased or
sold these lots.
On April 27, 19189, Oscar married Eunice Edna Benson (maiden name Kendall) who had one
daughter, Helen, from a previous marriage which ended when her husband passed away. Eunice
was born in Wisconsin on May 4, 1892. It is not known when she moved to Florida. At some point
her parents also moved to Florida as, in 1922, the Miami News reported that'Rev. and Mrs. N.H.
Kendall of Lake Worth were calling at the home of their daughter, Mrs. Oscar Magnuson, Sunday
qfternoon.'10
Oscar earned a living as a farmer by growing ferns at his fernery located on High Ridge Road
somewhere between Gateway Boulevard and Hypoluxo Road. The ferns were shipped by rail to
the north and, as this was in the days before refrigerated rail cars, the ferns had to be packed in
ice. Oscar also grew and grafted mango and avocado trees. In 1924 Oscar was appointed as a
volunteer fireman with the newly organized fire department". Eunice was an extremely good
12
seamstress, was involved in local government through her positions as Town Clerk , Inspector of
the General Election 13 , and Clerk of the General Election 14 , and she was a member of the
Woman's Club'5.

Oscar and Eunice were badly affected by the death of Kendall which eventually led to them
splitting up. Eunice and the children moved to a house'directly across the road from 211 Eav(l
Ocean Avenue (where Kenny's Market now stands).

The structure is sited at its original location on
Lots 13 and 14, Block 4 of the Town of Boynton
Subdivision. The lots have a combined frontage of
approximately 110' and a depth of approximately
126 giving an area of approximately 0.32 acres.
The subdivision contains 12 blocks laid out in a
grid pattern and is bisected from southwest to
northeast by the Florida East Coast Railway. The
streets were originally 40' wide although Ocean
Avenue, the main street to the downtown area,
was 50' wide. The property is shown on the 1924
Sanborn Map for Boynton. Neither this map nor
the 1940 update indicate any other structures on
the site although early photographic evidence
shows there was at least one accessory strUCtIjre_
The structure faces south and is set back approximately 38' from the sidewalk. None of the
accessory structures remain. There is a wooden fence to the west property line, a chain link fence
to the east property line, and recently installed cast stone bollards to the front property line.
Landscaping around the property is average. A brick paver semi -circular driveway and a small
retaining wall have been installed in the front yard. A section of the rear yard is partially surfaced
and raised and is contained by a small concrete retaining wall approximately 2' high. No

two lighting configuration. There is • metal frame jalousie window on the first floor at the
northwest corner. Decorative detailing is limited to exposed rafter tails, an attic vent on each
gable, wood window and door surrounds, and wood trim at the building corners. The front door is
a newer addition. There is one internal concrete block chimney which appears to be a later
addition. The original unaltered elevations are asymmetrical. The rear elevation was altered for
construction of the addition. As no historic images have been located it is not known if this
elevation was also asymmetrical.
The one-story rear addition is of wood frame construction with clapboard siding resting on a
concrete slab, and a shed roof surfaced with light gray composition roll. The windows are metal
frame
• and •'•• frame fixed ••• windows. A double •i• with jalousie windows which
leads to the back yard area is located at the center of the north elevation. Decoration is limited to
exposed rafter tails and a sloping wall to the north elevation which slopes outwards from ground
level to roof level.
Internally, the original structure appears to have maintained most of its original layout. The front
entrance leads to a small hallwav containina stairs to the second floor level. Off of the hall av, a

to the upstairs hallway. The two smaller bedrooms are to the rear of the structure. The numerous
large windows provide excellent light and ventilation to the building.
The interior finishing is of an extremely high quality and could potentially be unique in the city.
Almost every wall surface of the main rooms is finished with wood beading which runs either
diagonally, horizontally, or vertically. The diagonal and vertical beading is mainly in the public
rooms on the first floor and the horizontal beading is mainly in the bedrooms • the second ••........
The entrance hall and stairwell contain examples of diagonal, horizontal, and vertical beading.
The diagonal and vertical beading can be viewed by anyone entering the building; however, the
horizontal beading can only be viewed when using the stairs.
The first and second floor ceilings are open to expose profiled joists and beading has been
applied to run at right angles to the joists. Further decoration comprises wood cornicing to the
living and dining rooms, finished wood surrounds to all doors and windows, original wood doors,
decorative wood columns at the opening from the living room to the dining room, and original
wood flooring throughout almost the whole building. The bedroom closets are finished with
horizontal wood planks with a less -finished surface.
The only altered interior spaces are the kitchen and bathroom, which have been upgraded ' with
modern features and finishes, and the half bathroom which is a later addition. The rear addition is
the south wall.
The materials used for the construction of this building are consistent with its age and style;
however, the materials have been crafted and installed in a manner superior to that of similar
buildings. The high level of workmanship is most notable in the wood finishing throughout the
original structure. The survival of so many original features illustrates the level of craftsmanship
and quality of the materials used, and indicates the structure has been appropriately cared for
throughout its life, even when in use as a commercial nursery.
The most significant alterations are, therefore:
Removal of the front porch. This alteration affects the original character of the property as
it was located on the front elevation and was a character -defining feature. However,
photographic evidence of the porch exists and it would be possible to build an
appropriate new porch based on this evidence.
Construction of one-story addition to the rear. This addition is an appropriate alteration to
the building as it cannot be viewed from the right-of-way, it does not dominate the original
structure, it is clearly identifiable as an addition, and it could be easily removed in the
future without damaging the original structure. Although a date of construction could not
be identified, it is likely the addition was built around the 1950s. The addition has some
historic significance in its own right because of the construction techniques used and the
decorative detailing applied.
• Replacement of the original first floor northwest corner window with a jalousie window.
The jalousie window can be easily removed and replaced with a double hung sash
window of a similar design to the existing windows.
• Insertion of a chimney. No evidence could be found indicating the chimney is a later
addition; however, Barbara Scott does not recall ever seeing a fireplace or chimney and,
the chimney has been installed in an untidy manner compared with the high standard of
workmanship throughout the rest of the house. The chimney is not visible from the right-
of-way and could be easily removed if required.
• Replacement of the original metal roof with asphalt shingles. Asphalt shingles are
appropriate for a building of this style and this alteration is easily reversible.
• Upgrading of the kitchen and bathroom and installation of a half bathroom. Internal
alterations are not considered when evaluating a site for inclusion on the Local Register.
If any evidence of the original finishes in these rooms can be found, they could be easily
replaced with a similar finish.

which was a character -defining feature, an integral part of the design, and a fine example of
workmanship. It is expected that buildings evolve over time to meet the requirements of their
owners and this is especially true when the use of a building also changes, in this case, from
residential to commercial and then back to residential.
Feeling is how a property expresses its aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time
through design, workmanship, materials, and setting. Although the setting of the site has changed
through time, the setting of the building, the design, workmanship, and materials evoke a sense
of a past era. The majority of the building's original features remain which convey the property's
historic character.
