5850 Sunset Drive
The historic designation of a commercial building at 5850 Sunset Drive is part of a series of
downtown buildings recommended for designation by the Historic Preservation Board. The
building's original construction date was 1923. The building is a rare surviving example of an
architecture that belonged to the Florida Real Estate Boom of the 1920s, and is associated with a
community that was just beginning to develop. D.J. Red and his family was one of the first of
the pioneering settlers to the Town of Larkins, which grew largely because of a relatively small
group of early leaders
The designation of an historic site requires that the Historic Preservation Board approve a
Designation Report which sets forth the history of the building and the architectural significance.

Hometown District Plan and Overlay District.
(2) The designation report and the procedures followed by the Historic Preservation Board are
in accordance with the current LDC regulations governing historic site /district
designations.
(3) The designation of historic sites is compatible with several Future Land Use Element
goals and objectives contained in the Comprehensive Plan:
• Objective 1.2 Preserve_ historic resources by experiencing_ no demolition or
reconfiguration of specif ed resources ........."
(4) The alteration, renovation, remodeling, or landscape change affecting the exterior of a
designated historic building will require special approval in the form of a "certificate of
appropriateness" (COA): This approval requires a review by the Historic Preservation
Board and final approval by the City Commission. The Designation Report contains a
section entitled Design Review Guidelines (p -9) which establishes architectural guidelines
for the review of future certificates of appropriateness.

Statement of Significance
The building at 5850 Sunset Drive is a rare surviving example of an architecture
that belonged to the Florida Real Estate Boom of the 1920s, and is associated
with a community that was just beginning to develop. D.J. Red and his family
was one of the first of the pioneering settlers to the Town of Larkins, which grew
largely because of a relatively small group of early leaders.
History
istory
The Plat for the W.A. Larkins Subdivision was recorded on June 28, 1915, making it
among the first of nine recorded subdivisions in South Miami. This subdivision
consisted of almost eight square blocks stretching from S.W. 59th Avenue (Pear)
on the west; to S.W. 57th Avenue (Banana) on the east; and from Sunset Drive
(County Road) on the north, to S.W. 741h Street (Pine) on the south. The subject
property is located on southwest corner of Sunset Drive and S.W. 58th Court
(County Road and Mango Street).
The Miami -Dade County Property Appraiser's office fists the building's
construction date as 1923: While not always correct, the county's records in this
case are deemed to be accurate to within a few years. Not only was the plat
filed in 1915, but a photograph dated c. 1925 illustrates the building in the
background. That photograph is located in the Paul Tevis' manuscript of South
Miami's History, and while the quality of the copy is not the best, the building is
clearly a part of the photograph.
The first definitive evidence about the building occurs in September 1940. City
Directories indicate that Mrs. Sudie Red lived at this address, until as late as 1944.
An interior permit for remodeling dated 23 September 1940, also lists Mrs. Sudie
Red as the owner.
City of South Miami
Historic Designafion Report for
THE D.J. RED BUILDING
5850 Sunset Drive
Page 5
The Red family moved to the Town of Larkins from Oklahoma offer the
construction of the Florida East Coast Railroad, around 1914. They settled on the
outskirts of town, where Red Road crosses Snapper Creek, built a home and
began growing tomatoes. The Reds had two sorts, Jesse and Ray, and one
daughter, Josephine. An older daughter remained in Oklahoma.
The 1930 census lists D.J., wife Sudie, and son Jesse all as residents of South
Miami. D.J. Red was elected to the South Miami City Council on April 23, 1931
and served until August 15, 1932 when he resigned to become City Clerk. Mr.
Red served as City Clerk until March 3, 1936 when he was replaced by Mrs. Sylva
Martin who had been Assistant City Clerk since March 1931.
After Mr. and Mrs. D.J. Red died, their son Jess Red inherited the property, he
added a rear addition fronting onto S.W. 581h Court that. was leased to various
automobile. paint and body shops through the 1950's. (There is no surviving
building record for this addition). In 1948, the ground floor retail area fronting
onto Sunset Drive was divided into three storefronts, and given separate street
addresses. Mr. Red made other improvements to the property before selling it to
Mr. George Andrews who installed a restaurant kitchen in the westernmost of the
storefronts in 1962 for the Waffle Shop. Other retail operations occupied the
other two storefronts until 1984 when the entire ground floor was remodeled for
JJ's American Diner. The entire facility was again remodeled in 1995 for the
current restaurant operator.
Contextual Hisfo
During the late 1880s, South Miami was little more than a pioneer enclave of
settlers who established homesteads in the area. When Henry Flagler's .Florida
East Coast Railway built an extension from Miami to Homestead in 1904, with
South Miami (then known as The Town of Larkins) as a stop along the way, the
community was poised for its development.
By 1917 the population of the town had reached approximately 350. By July
1918 nine plats had been filed, four of them east of the railroad and five of them
to the west. Much of the land remained in agricultural use.
In March 1926, sixfy -nine qualified voters within the proposed corporate limits met
to change the name of their town from Larkins to the City of South Miami. At
that time the boundaries, which covered approximately six square miles, were:
Red Road on the east; Ludlum and Palmetto Road on the west; Bird Road and
Miller Road on the north, and SW 104th Street and North Kendall Drive on the
south.
During the 1920s all of South Florida was caught up in the frenetic activity of the
Florida Land Boom, South Miami was no exception. During these flamboyant
times there were several buildings of consequence constructed in South Miami
City of south Miami
Historic Designation Report for
THE D.J. RED BUILDING

Page 6
including the Methodist Church and the Riviera Theater (demolished.) By 1927,
the real estate boom had abruptly ended, and the state of Florida entered into
an economic depression even before the rest of the nation, when the Stock
Market collapsed in 1929. In 1933, the City's population increased to 1,500
residents, but the corporate limits of the city were reduced to on area of
approximately foursquare miles.
Ill. ARCHITECTURAL DISTINCTION
The style of this two story rectangular building constructed c.1923 is best
described as Mediterranean Revival, an eclectic design based on prototypes
from Spanish, Italian and Moorish architecture. The design was hugely popular
during the 1920s Real Estate Boom, and came to characterize the region. The
designs often featured irregular plans, courtyards, flat roofs or combinations of
roof slopes in residential construction, and ornament concentrated around doors
and windows. The principal roofing material was a clay or terra cotfa barrel tile.
The D.J. Red Building was designed for a ground floor retail operation with living
quarters on the second floor, and continues to function in this fashion. The
building is similar to the design of the Dorn -Martin drugstore located just west of
this site at 5900 Sunset Drive, constructed c. 1925.
Like the Dorn - Martin Drugstore, the building is constructed of masonry, with large
expanses of stucco wall area. The embellishment of the Dorn - Martin Drugstore is
concentrated on the curvilinear parapet that is flanked by a single row of file
coping. In the D.J. Red Building, the parapet rises in the center forming a
friangular pediment, which is flanked on either side by tile coping. The elevations
terminate on either end with the parapet rising to the height of the pediment's
peak, in a straight line. The windows are replacements, probably dating to the
1984 remodeling.
There is no record of the original appearance of the ground floor. Aerial
photographs from the 1940's indicate that there were doors and windows
fronting S.W. 58th Court but the scale and quality of the photograph do not give
a clear picture. The rear addition had a bow- shaped roof terminated in a
rounded masonry gable with a single garage door flanked by windows. The
exterior masonry staircase on the west side is the only original ground floor
architectural element.
Alterations
During the mid 1940's a one -story addition to house an automotive shop was
built on the south side. This addition was combined with the ground floor of the
main building during the 1980's into a single space that housed a restaurant, and
was then subsequently divided for two separate restaurants. The ground floor
City of South Miami
Historic Designation Report for
THE D.J. RED BUILDING
5850 Sunset Drive
Page 7
retail space was divided into three stores in 1948 and restaurant equipment was
installed in the westernmost of these bays in 1962 for the Waffle House
Restaurant. Since that date, there has been a restaurant business in continuous
operation at this location.
The 1984 and 1995 alterations changed the ground floor openings and added a
corner entry. The bow - shaped roof of the rear addition was leveled to
accommodate roof - mounted equipment with the east gable squared off and
the distribution and shape of openings in that elevation completely altered.
Despite these changes, the second floor openings, the parapet, and west
exterior staircase remain close to the original.. While the ground floor openings of
the main building have been changed, the remaining wall portions still have the
original stucco finish and the ornamental light fixtures along S.W. 58th Court,
which maintain the style and spirit of the 1920's.
Eligibility for Designation
The proposed designation of the building at 5850 Sunset Drive, meets the
following criterion contained in the South Miami Land Development Code,
Section, 20.4.9 "Historic Preservation Standards ":
(a) Districts, sites, structures and objects of national, state and local
importance are of historic significance if they possess integrity of
location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and
association and:
(b) Are associated with events that have made a significant
contribution to the broad patterns of our history, and:
(c) Are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past, and:
(d) Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type period, method
of construction or work of a master; or that possess high artistic
value, or that represent a distinguishable entity whose components
may lack individual distinction
Therefore, the building at 5850 Sunset Drive is recommended for local historic
designation.

Page 2 of 3
Action: Staff explained that the Historic Preservation Board at its August 28, 2006
meeting reviewed the historic designation report for the commercial building located at
5850 Sunset Drive. Following a public hearing, the Board adopted a motion
recommending that this building be designated an historic site. Staff also noted that the
Land Development Code provides that an historic designation recommendation must be
enacted as a zone map change. In this case, the "HP -OV" Historic Preservation Overlay
zoning district is super- imposed as an overlay over the existing underlying use zone. The
historic designation of a commercial building at 5850 Sunset Drive is part of series of
downtown buildings recommended for designation by the Historic Preservation Board. As
stated in the designation report, Mr. O'Donniley noted that the building is a rare surviving
example of an architecture that belonged to the Florida Real Estate Boom of the 1920s.
Additionally, it is associated with a community that was just beginning to develop D.J. Red
and his family was one of the first of the pioneering settlers to the Town. of Larkins.
At this point, Mr. O'Donniley provided the following staff observations:
(1) The D.J. Red Building is one of six buildings identified as a "contributing building"
in the Hometown District Plan and Overlay District.
(2) The designation report and the procedures followed by the Historic Preservation
Board are in accordance with the current LDC regulations governing historic
site /district designations.
(3) The designation of historic sites is compatible with several Future Land Use
Element goals and objectives contained in the Comprehensive Plan:
• Objective 1.2 Preserve historic resources by ex eriencin no demolition or
reconfiguration of specified resources ...........
(4) The alteration, renovation, remodeling, or landscape change affecting the exterior of
a designated historic building will require special approval in the form of a
"certificate of appropriateness" (COA). This approval requires a review by the
Historic Preservation Board and final approval by the City Commission. The
Designation Report contains a section entitled Design Review Guidelines (p -9)
which establishes architectural guidelines for the review of future certificates of
appropriateness.
(5) The proposed designation will not require changes to any of the dimensional
standards or permitted uses currently applicable to the area's underlining SR(HD-
OV) Specialty Retail, Hometown District Overlay ) zoning district.
Reconnnendation :
Staff recommended that the historic designation and the placement of an "HP -OV" district
over the existing zoning district for the building located at 5850 Sunset Drive be approved.
]Public Hearings:
Chair Morton opened the public hearing.
No one spoke on this item.
