Local Historic Designation Report 5730 SW 49th Street Page 3 II. SIGNIFICANCE Specific Dates: 1927 Architect: Unknown Subdivision Developers: Original Plat: John and Louis Nein (1925) Resubdivision: David and Emily Harlan (1935) Statement of Significance The design for this residence reflects the quintessential "Spanish- Mediterranean" characteristics that were the overwhelming choice of developers who sought to create a pedigree for the newly developed landscape in the South Florida region. The original plat for the "Biltmore Heights" subdivision was recorded on September 30, 1925, almost exactly one year before the devastating hurricane of September 17 -18, 1926 would begin a series of unfortunate events that ended the unprecedented Florida Real Estate Boom. While some houses were completed in the Biltmore Heights subdivision, including the home at 5730 SW 49th Street, the subdivision remained primarily undeveloped until its 1935 replotting. The residence at 5730 SW 49th Street is significant for its architectural design, and as it reflects the turbulent period of the boom and bust cycles in South Miami. Contextual History 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 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 were filed, four of them east of the railroad and five of them to the west. Much of the land remained in agricultural use. Visitors to Larkins were directed to follow "the black road ", which referred to the newly oiled Ingraham Highway, that extended from Miami to Homestead by way of Coconut Grove's bay front and along the ridge to what was later Sunset Drive, and then west to the railroad at Larkins. At that time, South Miami's immediate neighbor to the east was Coral Gables. The first lots in Coral Gables were sold in 1921, and under the leadership of its founder George E. Merrick, continued to expand as more and more land was acquired. Eventually, even the Larkin's Homestead Local Historic Designation Report 5730 SW 49th Street Page 4 was sold to Coral Gables, and the development of South Miami moved west. 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 including the Methodist Church and the Riviera Theater (demolished.) Residential subdivisions were platted as thousands purchased homes in the area. In March 1926, sixty -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. Already failing in 1926, 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. While growth would return, the 1930s saw a precipitous slowdown in the market. In 1933 the City's population increased to 1,500 residents, but the corporate limits of the city were reduced to an area of approximately four square miles. The burgeoning growth of the 1920s was experienced again following World War II, when tens of thousands of returning GIs made the area their home. A TALE OF TWO CITIES The relationship between the Town of Larkins and the City of Coral Gables was very close during the early 1920s. George Merrick, the founder and developer of the City of Coral Gables, began the sale of lots in 1921 and was continually expanding his holdings that would eventually reach to over 1,600 acres by 19241. George Merrick was continuing the development of Coral Gables, and platted the Riviera Section, directly adjacent to-the Town of Larkins on the west (separated by Red Road (SW 57th Avenue) in October, 1925.2. One of his acquisitions was four of the five acres of land owned by The Coco Plum Woman's Club's. Mrs. Mary B. Dorn was the first president of the club which was founded by pioneering Larkin women in 1913 as the "Coco Plum Thimble Club ", and later in 1916 changed their name to the Woman's Club of Larkin ".3 Mrs. Dorn had scouted out the land on 1 Millas, Aristides and Ellen J. Uguccioni, Coral Gables Miami Riviera, An Architectural Guide 2 ibid, 76. 3 Uguccioni, Ellen. "The Cocoplum Woman's Club" National Register Nomination Local Historic Designation Report 5730 SW 49th Street Page 5 which their clubhouse would be built, then owned by the "Model Land Company ", a subsidiary of Henry Flagler's Florida East Coast Railway. When Merrick platted the Riviera Section, he particularly desired the club's land, and after negotiation, the club sold four of its five acres to the Coral Gables Corporation for the sum of $100,000.4 The plat for Biltmore Heights was approved on September 30, 1925. Given its proximity to Coral Gables, it is not surprising that the Nein Brothers (who filed the plat), would emulate the theme of Merrick's development. They named the streets, capitalizing on the romantic Spanish ideals that were being used to sell Coral Gables. SW 49th Street was originally named "Pinta Avenue ", SW 50th Street was named "Nina Avenue ", SW 50th Terrace as " Santa Maria ", and SW 51St Street as "Santa Fe Avenue ". The westernmost street of Biltmore Heights was Ludlum Road, which in the original development was given the name "Badalonia ". When the boom ended, the Coral Gables Corporation was some $29 million in debt, and foreclosures were commonplace. New subdivisions were in the same situation, and construction in the Biltmore Heights Subdivision ended abruptly. Activity did not again begin in earnest until 1935 when David and Emily Harlan filed a Resubdivision. tee. t 1 Figure 1. Detail of "Biltmore Heights" Resubdivision, approved on March 2, 1935. 'Mrs. E.M. Jordan, c. 1915, as quoted by Mrs. Rita Davant, 1963 (Unpublished Manuscript, Collection Coco Plum Woman's Club, 22 Local Historic Designation Report 5730 SW 49th Street Page 6 The residence at 5730 SW 49th Street survives as one of the few homes actually constructed during the waning days of the 1920s real estate boom, and as such, reveals an important part of South Miami's early history. III. ARCHITECTURAL DISTINCTION The style of this two story rectangular building is best described as Mediterranean Revival, an eclectic design based on prototypes from Spanish, Italian and Moorish architectural archetypes. 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 with distinctive parapets or combinations of roof slopes in residential construction, and ornament concentrated around doors and windows. The residence at 5730 SW 49th Street, expresses the hallmarks of the Mediterranean Revival style in its: • masonry construction, • combination of one and two story sections • combination of gabled and shed roofs • prominent front porch that features an arcade of round arches • use of a clay tile as the roofing material, and the coping that follows the roof ridges • prominent chimney with a decorative brick chimney cap • double -hung sash windows with a projecting sill beneath • separate masonry accessory building ( originally intended as a garage) Alterations: Throughout its long history, the residence has had few changes to its character. Minor alterations include: • anew driveway treatment of concrete pavers (1989) • extension of the concrete slab at the rear of the house ( 1989) • new concrete risers faced with the ( 1989) • reproofing with an "S" tile (1989) The residence maintains its integrity of design to qualify for local historic designation. Local Historic Designation Report 5730 SW 49th Street Page 7 IV. ELIGIBILITY FOR DESIGNATION The South Miami Land Development Code; Section 20.4.9 entitled "Historic Preservation Standards" lists the following criteria that a property must meet in order to be considered for local historic designation: (a) Districts, sties, 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 of the broad patterns of our history, and (c) 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. The Residence at 5730 SW 49th Street possesses integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association and meets criteria (b) as it reflects the turbulent period of the boom and bust real estate cycles in the region's history; (c) as it represents the distinctive character of a Mediterranean - inspired design, made popular in the South Florida region by a significant number of developments Therefore, the residence at 5730 SW 49th Street is recommended for local historic designation. V. DESIGN REVIEW GUIDELINES In accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 20.5.19 of the City's Land Development Code, any building permit for exterior alteration, renovation or demolition of an existing structure, which is designated historic, or is within a designated historic district shall first require the issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA).
