Dear Mr. and Mrs. Quidiello:
Re: 6333 SW 69 Street; Folio number 09-4025-022-0060
In a review of the houses and buildings in South Miami, the Historic Preservation Board noted your structure as
one that may be of historic significance. As a result, the Board may be doing research into the history of your
home or building to make a more complete determination, and I am writing to see if you are interested in
helping us with that research.
The City Commission created the Historic Preservation Board to aid in preserving the history of South Miami
by identifying historic structures in the city and by helping to preserve and protect them. In these efforts, we
conduct building surveys, research the history of specific homes and buildings, record oral histories of life in
South .Miami, and review submissions for changes to historically designated structures.
In order to give your home or building an historic designation, a report must be prepared and submitted to the
City Commission for its approval. A designation report outlines the history of the structure, explains why it is
historically significant, and documents the original and existing condition of the home or building. Once a
structure is designated, it has some protection from destruction or alteration through the requirement that any
such changes must be reviewed and approved by the Historic Preservation Board. In addition to this protection,
designated structures have the distinction of being known and listed as historically important.
If you are interested in having the history of your home or building recorded and noted, we would like to hear
from you. You may be able to help us by providing information, including old photographs, original drawings,
personal reminiscences, a property survey, information about the builder or original owner, etc.
We look forward to hearing from you. In doing so, you may contact the Planning & Zoning Department
(responding on behalf of the Historic Preservation Board)by telephone at 663-6327 or by fax at 666-4591.
Sincerely yours,
ark Wynnemer
Chair, Historic Preservation Board

THE YARBOROUGH HOUSE
6333 SW 69 STREET
SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA
My father, James Yarborough, built the house in 1925, but the finishing touches were probably
put on in 1926. I was born in the front bedroom in 1926, and my sisters and brothers had scarlet
fever and were quarantined in the garage with a nurse to look after them during that time.
I don't know how or why he chose that area, but it was all platted (is that right?) out and was
known as Coco Plum Terrace. My father told me he had no problem choosing the lot because
when you look at the Plat, it's larger than any of the others, due to the curve, I guess. I think
I'm right in stating that he had to have FP&L bring electricity to us and my mother always
called the light pole on the corner, "our light pole", especially after the street light was attached.
When first built, our house had three bedrooms, living room, dining room, bath, kitchen and
breakfast room. The kitchen started out with the west wall not as far out as the rest of the house
and that made the back door open onto the driveway. Also, the electric meter was outside by the
back door, but when he moved the kitchen even with the rest of the house, this put the meter
inside the kitchen. Therefore, we had to give FP&L a key to our house so they could read the
meter if we were not at home.
Sometime in the `30s, my father added on to the kitchen, making it much larger and he also
added a"back" living room and bedroom for my brother, and the back door was then moved to
the back of the house.
There was now room in the kitchen for a table and chairs and wonderful floor to ceiling
cupboards, so the breakfast nook was changed into a library and telephone room. Also under the
rug in that room is a trap door that lifts up and it made a marvelous place to store the canned
vegetables and crocks of sauerkraut my mother made. My father built floor to ceiling
bookshelves and cupboards in there, also. The back living room was originally a playroom for
the children with games and a ping pong table, etc.
Ira i:.:it of the louse, originally was a tiny front porch. Liter^n my father built a real porch
with screen and awnings.
The living room and dining room were separated by an arch which made a natural stage for all
of us to give our plays and musical reviews, with my father playing the piano. I must state here
that our dining room was used every night. That was one thing we had to do -be home for
dinner at 6:00 p.m.!
There were many little nooks and crannies in our old house and that made it doubly interesting
and fun to live there, and I do miss it!
