Description

Summary

Paragraph

The

West

DeLand

Residential

District

is

an

approximately

100

acre

residential

neighborhood

located

immediately

northwest

of

DeLand's

downtown

commercial

district

and

west

of

the

Stetson

University

campus.

The

district

contains

mainly

single

family

dwellings dating

from

the

late

nineteenth

century

to

the

middle

of

the

twentieth

century.

In

addition,

the

area

contains

a

school,

several

churches,

and

other

buildings

associated with

non-commercial

functions.

A

wide

variety

of

architectural

styles—typical

of

those favored

in

the

United

States

in

the

late

nineteenth

and

early

twentieth

centuries—are

represented

in

neighborhood.

The

period

of

historic significance

for

the

district

spans

the

years

1884

through

1942.

The

district

comprises

472

structures,

of

which

375

are

contributing

and

97

are

noncontributing.

Noncontributing

buildings

include

those

erected

after

1942

or

those

dating

before

1942

that

have

been

significantly

altered.

The

the

district

contains

a

significant

concentration

of

buildings

linked

by

period

of

development,

style,

historical

association,

and

geographical

contiguity.

Present

Original

Physical

Appearance

DeLand,

the

seat

of

government

for

Volusia

County,

Florida,

is

located

twenty

miles

west

of

Daytona

Beach

and

forty

miles

north

of

Orlando.

With

its

approximate

center

near

the

intersection

of

Wisconsin

and

Clara

avenues,

the

district

takes

in

all

or

parts

of

forty-five

blocks.

The

district

is

roughly

bounded

by

University,

Florida,

and

Adelle

avenues,

and

State

Road

44,

the latter

of

which

is

locally

designated

New

Avenue.

U.S.

Highway

17/92,

locally

known

as

Woodland

Boulevard,

runs

north/south

immediately

to

the

east

of

the district. The

proximity

of

Stetson

University

and

U.S.

Highway

17/92

to

the

historic

district,

in

connection

with

the

expansion

of

DeLand

following

World

War

II,

has

led

to

significant

demolition

of

historic

buildings

along

the

eastern

and

southern

edges

of

the

district

and

the

construction

of

new

buildings.

Most

east/west

streets

connect

the

residential

district

either

to

Stetson

University

or

DeLand's

commercial

center.

North/south

avenues

provide

access

to

New

York

and

Plymouth

avenues.

Planted

with

numerous

shade

trees,

the

district's

landscape

gently

rolls

to

the

south,

toward

New

Avenue

and

Woodland

Boulevard.

light-industry

along

West

Michigan

Avenue.

Railroad

tracks,

which

were

laid

in

1884,

supported

the

growth

of

industry

there

beginning

in

1910,

when

a

railroad

station,

now

demolished,

was

built

in

the

300

block

of

West

Michigan

Avenue.

After

1910,

the

light-industry

district

emerged

and

with

an

accompanying

rail

yard

formed

a

barrier

to

residential

development.

This

rail

yard

has

also

disappeared.

The

district

is

further

united

through

its

historic

associations with

the

commercial

district

and

Stetson

University.

Development

in

those

areas

began

in

the

1880s,

and

many

businessmen

and

university-related

personnel

established

homes

west

of

those

centers.

The

boundary

of

the

residential

district along

the

100

of

North

Avenue

nearly

touches

the

west boundary

the

historic

commercial

district,

which

was

listed

in

the

National

Register

in

1988.

The

historic

Stetson

University

campus,

listed

in

the

National

Register

in

1991,

shares

a

boundary

with

the

residential

district

in

the

500

block

of

North

Florida

Avenue.

The

West

DeLand

Residential

District

contains

elements

of

a

suburban

residential

neighborhood.

Residences,

churches,

a

school,

and

a

clubhouse

combine

to

provide

the

essential

functions

necessary

in

a

self-contained

residential

area.

Residences

comprise

the

majority

of

the

buildings

in

the

district.

Religious

buildings

occupy

parts

of

three

blocks

within

the

district.

A

historic

Women's

Club continues

to

serve

its

original

function.

A

number

of

adaptive

use

conversions

are

apparent

in

the

district.

A

historic

school

presently

contains

offices

for

the

Volusia

County

School

Board,

and

a

former

private

residence

now

serves

as

a

museum.

Several

contributing

buildings

that were

constructed

as

residences

have

been

rehabilitated

as

professional

offices.

Historic

developmental

patterns

vary

throughout

the

district.

Large

Colonial Revival designs

can

be

found

in

concentration

along

several

streets,

closely

spaced

with

little

set

back from

the

road.

In

other

areas,

they

are

broadly

spaced

with

ample

set

backs.

A

few

small

concentrations

of

Bungalow

and

Mediterranean

Revival

designs

are

also

apparent.

Several one-

block

stretches

contain

residences

that

between

the

1890s

and

and

a

broad

range

of

in

Those

streets,

most

of

which

were

constructed throughout

the

district

by

1915,

were

originally paved

with

brick,

but

later

were

resurfaced

with

concrete.

The

historic

development

of

the

West

DeLand Residential

District

spans

from

1884,

when

the

first

extant

building

was

constructed,

until

1942.

The

latter

date

was

selected

as

a

cut-

off

because

it

satisfies

the

fifty-year

guideline

established

by

the

U.S.

Department

of

Interior

for

evaluating

resources

within

a

historic

district.

The

district developed

organically; that

is,

with

no

definite

plan.

Subdivision

activity

serves

as

a

reliable

indicator

of

construction

and

development.

Located

in

the

historic district

are

parts

of

three

of

the

community's

earliest

additions,

which

over time have been

subdivided

into

a

random

quilt-work

of

plats.

Noncontributina

Buildings

Noncontributing

buildings

constitute

20

percent

of

the

buildings

in

the

West DeLand

Residential

District.

Most

of

these

are

residences

constructed

after

1942,

but

some

are

historic

period

buildings

that

have

lost

their

architectural

integrity.

Some

large

noncontributing

structures

in

the

district

are

not

residences

and

are

incompatible

with

the

overall

scale

of

the

historic

built

environment.

The

majority

of

these

were

constructed

after

1960.

NOTE:

Because

of

space

limitations,

secondary

structures

and

outbuildings

are

not

represented

on

the

historic

district

map

and

have

not

been

included

in

the

official

building

count.

The

majority

of

these

structures

are

small,

wood

frame

vernacular

storage

sheds

or

garages

constructed

at

the

same

time

as

the

primary

building.

Whenever

possible,

structures

intended

for

regular

human

use

or

occupation

have

been

counted

and

Significance

Summary

Significance Paragraph

The

West

DeLand

Residential District

is

eligible

for

listing

in

the

National

Register

of

Historic

Places

on

the

local

level

under

criterion

C

in

the

areas

of

Architecture

and

Community

Planning.

The

district

is

DeLand's

oldest

and

largest

historic

residential

neighborhood.

The

period

of

significance

for the

district

extends

from

1884

to

1942.

A

wide

variety

of

architectural

styles

is

represented

and

some

resources

in

the

area

meet

the

criteria

for

individual

listing

in

the

Register.

The

development

of

the

neighborhood

is

tied

closely

to the

early

history

of

DeLand,

and

some

residences

in

the

district

were

the

homes

of

community

leaders.

Historical

Context

Early

Development

of

West

DeLand's

Historic

Residential

District;

1884-1895

Increased

river

traffic,

the

introduction

of

the

railroad,

and

the

dream

of

fortunes

created

by

citrus

groves

led

to

economic

growth

and

permanent

settlement

of

Volusia

County

and

DeLand

in

the

late-nineteenth

century.

The

flow

of

people

and

goods

into

the

county

along

the

St.

Johns

River

increased

sharply

in

the

1870s.

A

short

line

railroad

connected

DeLand

with

the

St.

Johns

River

in

1884

and

the

extension

of

the

Jacksonville,

Tampa,

and

Key

West

Railway

across

western

Volusia

County

in

1886

provided

the

area

a

valuable

mass

transportation

facility.

DeLand

was

established

in

1876,

incorporated

in

1882,

and

became

to

seat

of

Volusia

County

in

1888.

The

town

was

founded

by

Henry

A.

DeLand,

a

chemical

manufacturer

from

New

York

He

made

large

real

estate

investments

in

the

area,

and his

generosity

in

donating

funds

for

the

construction

of

a

school

house

and

churches

prompted

early

settlers

to

name

the

new

community

"DeLand."

Streets

were

named

for

pioneer

residents and

By

DeLand

had

1,113,

and

in

the

community

had

become

The

was

further

by

the

establishment

of

there

in

The campus

is

located

immediately

north

of

the

commercial

district

and

lies

near

the

eastern

boundary

of

the

West

DeLand Historic

District.

It

became

one

of

Florida's

leading

universities within

a

decade

of

its

founding.

The

emergence

of

the

commercial

district

and

Stetson

University

played

an

important

role

in

DeLand

7

s

late

nineteenth

century

development

and

prompted

the

development

of

the

West

Deland

residential

neighborhood.

Construction

of

the

first

houses

in

the

area

began

in

the

mid-1880s

and

accelerated

during

the

1890s.

The

broad

area

comprised

several

small

subdivisions.

In

1893,

the

Volusia

County

Record reported

a

large

number new

residences

were

under

construction.

The

economic

vitality

of

early

DeLand

was

derived

mainly

from

the

citrus

industry,

in

which

the

community

played

a

major

role.

The

grow

of

the

city

was

brought

temporarily

to an

end

by

devastating

freezes

in

the

winter

of 1894 to 1895

that

destroyed

many

orange

groves

throughout

the

state.

Recovery

began

only

after

1900,

when

new

citrus

trees

had

matured

enough

to

bear

substantial

amounts

of

fruit.

Expansion

Of

The

Historic

District

In

The

Progressive

Era;

1896-

1919

Between

1896

and

1919,

DeLand

experienced

a

second

significant

period

of

development.

DeLand grew

significantly

during

this

interval.

Geared

to

the

expansion

of

the

citrus

industry,

the

population doubled

from

1,449

in

1900

to 2,812

by

1910,

and

then

rose

moderately

to

3,324

by

1920.

Further

subdivisions

were

platted

and

developed

in

the

West

Deland

Residential

District.

Citrus

production

continued

to

drive

the

economy,

although

commerce,

education,

government,

and

rail

and

river

traffic

all

supplied

jobs

for

the

community. The

pace

of

residential

subdivision development quickened

throughout

the

city

after

1900

and

persisted

through

1916.

Brick

streets

and

other

municipal

services

were

extended

into

emerging

residential

neighborhoods.

Real

estate

assessments

nearly

trebled

during

that

period,

increasing

from

$3.8

Significance

DeLand

is

enjoying

a

veritable

building

boom.

More

new

houses

have

been

built

in

the

past

six

months

than

ever

before

in

an

entire

year.

The

boom

is

unabated,

and

it

is

impossible

to

get

a

carpenter

or

painter

to

figure

on

work

to

be

done

at

once.

They

are

all

employed

for

weeks

and

months

ahead.

DeLand's

revitalized

economy

resulted

in

the

creation

of

estate

companies

who

advertised

in

the

local

newspaper

and

those

of

the

surrounding

communities

to

promote

new

real

estate

developments

and

construction

in

DeLand.

Hundreds

of

real

estate

transactions

were

handled

by

these companies

between

1905

and

the

beginning

of

World

War

I.

This

building

activity

resulted

in

the

establishment

of

several

lumber yards

in

the

community,

some

of

which operated

near

the

heart

of

the

west

DeLand

residential

neighborhood.

One

of

these

was

the

McCormick

Lumber

Company,

founded

in

1909,

which

stood

west

of

the

district

on

North

Delaware

Avenue.

The

Atlantic

Coast

Line

Railroad

Company

in

1910

located

a

rail

yard

and

depot

(demolished)

just

west

of

Clara

Avenue,

causing

the

emergence

of

a

small

light

industry

district.

This

industrial

area

formed

a

barrier

to

a

further

expansion

of

the

residential

district,

but did further

a

more

intensive

development

of

the

already

established

plats

of

land.

After

1916,

the

creation

of

new

residential

subdivisions

declined,

but

building construction persisted

at

a

moderate

pace.

Francis

Miller,

a

local

architect,

reported

in

February

1916,

that

he

had

received

commissions

for

the

design

of

five

residential

buildings

in

the community.

Effect

Of

The

Great

Florida

Land

Boom

On

The

Historic

District;

1920-1928

In

the

1920s,

the

nation

entered

a

period

of

enthusiastic

economic

expansion.

In

Florida,

a

land

boom

that

began

in

early

1921

caused property

values

to

rise

quickly

and

dramatically.

Although

the

boom

started

in

South

Florida,

particularly

Miami,

no

part

of

the

state

completely

escaped

the

fever.

In

virtually

every

city and

town

new subdivisions

were

platted

and

lots

sold

and

resold

for

quick

profits.

Sharing

in

that

growth,

Volusia

County

property

assessments

increased

nearly three-fold

from

$11

million

in

1917

to

$28

million

by

1927.

Bank

deposits

swelled.

In

DeLand,

the

population nearly

trebled,

rising

from

3,324

in

1920

to

nearly

8,000

at

its

peak

1925.

The

City

advertisements

that

featured

new

residences

offered

by

real

estate

companies.

Florida's speculative

land

bubble

began

to

deflate

in

1925.

Bank

deposits

began

to

decline

dramatically,

as

bankers

and

businessmen

began

to

complain

about

irregularities

in

financial

transactions involving

real

estate.

Newspapers suggested

fraud

in

land

sales

and

land

speculators began

to

default

on

the

payment

of

due

loans.

Building

permits

in

DeLand

declined

precipitously

in

1926,

and

that

same

year

forty Florida

banks

failed.

The

situation

was

made

worse

by

devastating

hurricanes

that

hit

south

Florida

in

1926

and

1928,

resulting

in

a

great

loss

of

life

and

causing

property

damage

costing

millions

of

dollars.

The

great

land

boom

had

quickly

gone

bust.

Depression-Era

The

experience

of

Florida

Depression

from

of

the

rest

of

the

country.

Banks

throughout

the

state

failed,

investments

fell,

and

annual income

per

capita

declined.

Florida's

diversified

base

of

agriculture

and

tourism

alleviated

some

of

Approximately

fifty

in

the

half

of

the

decade,

after

the

harshest

Statement

of

Significance

The

buildings

in

the

West

DeLand

Residential

District

represent

a

wide

variety

of

styles and

represent

all

phases

of

the

period

of

historic

significance.

Residential

construction

began

in

the

mid

1880s,

and

some

of

the

houses

surviving

from

that

era

embody

formal

styles.

Like

the

residence

at

145

West

Wisconsin

Avenue

(Photo

49),

built about

1884,

the

majority

of

the

early

houses

in

the

district

are

wood

frame

vernacular

structures.

It

was

originally

the

residence

of

the

Reverend

A.L.

Farr,

first

pastor

of

the

Baptist

Church,

but

is

an

apartment

house.

Some

of

the

early

vernacular

buildings

in

the

district

are

simple

in

design,

but

display

decorative

details

borrowed

from

formal

styles,

including

bargeboard

in

gable

ends,

spindle

work,

brackets,

and

other

products

of

the

wood

lathe

and

jigsaw.

One

of

the

best

of

these

in

the

district

is

the

Samuel

Gordon

House,

(Photo

a

two-story

building

at

West

West

New

built

about

is

less

elaborate

but

still

features

millwork

typical

of

the

era.

Most

of

the

late

nineteenth

century

residences

in

the

neighborhood,

however,

are

plain

structures,

like

the

Josiah

Law

House

(Photo

at

402

West

Minnesota

Avenue

which

dates

from

the

mid

1880s.

Law,

a

successful

farmer

and

citrus

grower,

also

served

as

a

trustee

of

Stetson

University.

Because

of

its

association

with

Stetson

University,

DeLand

attracted

a

number

of

scholars

and

educators

in

the

1880s.

The

frame

vernacular

house

at

439

North

Clara

Avenue

(Photo

built

about

1885,

served

as

a

retreat

and

retirement

home

for

Frances

Shimer

.

Also

known

as

the

"Sans

Souci

Cottage,"

the

Shimer

House

and

several

other

outstanding

DeLand

residences

were

featured

in

a

1898

special

edition

of

the

Florida

Agriculturist,

which

recounted

the

history

of

DeLand.

Shimer had

founded

Mount

Carroll

Seminary

in

Chicago

in

1853.

Later,

in

1883,

because

of

poor

health,

Shimer

a

number

of

Colonial

the

Construction

increased

Built

Stetson,

who

changes

were

also

made

to

the

exterior

and

interior

of

the

residence.

In

1990,

the

building

was

rehabilitated

by

Stetson

University

to

serve

as

a

house

museum.

Designated

the

Henry

DeLand

House,

it

commemorates

the

community's

founding

father

and

most

significant

developer.

Although

the

West

DeLand

Residential

District

does

not

have

any

full-blown

picturesque

Queen

Anne

residences,

there

are

a

number

of

houses

in

the

area

that

do

feature

a

variety

of

Queen

Anne

characteristics

and

details.

Most

of

these

appeared

just

after

1900.

The

style

emerged

nationally

in

the

1880s

and

remained

popular

through

the

first

decade

of

the

twentieth

century.

The

J.

Will

Gardner

House

(Photo

70)

at

340

West Rich

Avenue,

was

built about

1900.

The

residence

lacks

the

tower that

is

characteristic

of

traditional

Queen

Anne houses

and

incorporates

many

of

the

Colonial

Revival

and

Classical Revival

details typical

of

later

examples

of

this

type

of

architecture.

The

massing

and

irregular

plan

of

the

large

residence,

however,

clearly

mark

it as

a

product

of

Queen

Anne

styling.

Gardner,

an

insurance

agent,

lived

in

the

house

until

the

1930s.

A

similar

Queen

Anne house

is

the

one

at

504

West

New

York

Avenue

(Photo

80).

Although

the

house

was

built

in

1909,

little

is

known

of

its

early

history.

In

the

1920s,

it

became

the

home

of

Leo

Fugle,

a

dairyman

and

citrus

grower

who

served

as

DeLand

's

mayor

from

1942

to

1949.

Bungalows

account

for

approximately

100

buildings

in

the

district,

making

it

the

most

common

house

type

in

the

area

after

wood

frame vernacular.

Bungalows

first

appeared

in

DeLand

around

1910,

and

most

of

those

found

in

the

West

DeLand

neighborhood

display

the

end

porches,

varied

exterior

fabrics,

a

low,

horizontal

profile

that

characterize

the

style.

One

of

the

earliest

bungalows

in

the

district

is

the

J.H.

Thorpe

House

(Photo

60)

at

212

Sans

Souci

Avenue,

built

around

1912.

Thorpe

was

a

local

merchant.

The

Fred

McCormick

House

(Photo

76)

at

432

West New

York

Avenue)

was

built

about

1913.

McCormick

was

an

officer

in

the

McCormick

Lumber

Company.

Significance

Among

the

most

elaborate

bungalows

in

the

neighborhood

are

the

W.C.

Watts

House

(Photo

at

510

West

Avenue,

constructed

in

1914

and the

Raymond

Jordan

House

(Photo

at

528

New

York

Avenue,

constructed

in

the

early

1920s.

Jordan

was

a

prominent

attorney

in

DeLand.

Bungalow

are

found

throughout

the

district

and

appear

prominently

along

some

streets.

Rows

block

of

West

Wisconsin

Avenue

(Photo

and

the

200

block

of

North

Adelle

Avenue

(Photo

65).

The

district

contains

a

small

number

of

Mediterranean

Revival

style

residences,

most

of

them constructed

during

the

1920s.

They

range

in

size

and

detail

from

the

large

house

at

310

West

Minnesota

Avenue

(Photo

and

the

Carl

Fisher

House

(Photo

at

420

North

Clara

Avenue

to

the

rather plain

small

houses

at

435

and

441

North Julia

Avenue.

Built largely

during

the

land

boom

of

the

1920s,

the

designs

of

these

buildings

were

based

on

Spanish

Colonial

antecedents

and

the

architecture

of

the

Mediterranean

basin

in

Europe.

Non-residential

buildings

of

note

in

the

district

include

the

Trinity

United

Methodist

Church

(Photo

54)

at

242

North

Clara

Avenue,

built

in

1926.

The

church

was

designed

in

the

English

Gothic

style.

The

masonry

vernacular

Wisconsin

Avenue Elementary

School

(Photo

64)

at

336

West

Wisconsin

Avenue

was

constructed

in

1925

at

a

cost

of

$92,000.

The

oldest

non-residential

building

in

the

district

is

St.

Barnabas

Episcopal

Church

(Photo

62)

at

319

West

Wisconsin

Avenue.

The

initial

structure

was

completed

in

1884

but was

modified

in

1903, 1923,

and

1970.

Despite

changes

made

to

accommodate

the

increase

size

of

the

congregation

over

the

years

and to

provide

reasonable comfort

to

those

persons

attending

church,

the

building

retains

much

of

its

architectural

character.

The

bulk

of

the

buildings

constructed

during

the

Great

Depression

of

the

1930s

were

of

wood

frame

vernacular

residences

similar

to

the

one

at

534

North

Clara

Avenue

(Photo

32).

Architectural detailing

was

sparse,

and the

eaves

and

rakes

were

typically

held

close

to

the

surfaces

of

residential

buildings.

The

Charles

Fisher

House,

a

small

Colonial

Revival

design

that

has the

trappings

of

a

ready-to-assemble

house

kit,

was

erected

about

1940 at

521

North

Florida

Avenue

(Photo

9).

Fisher,

a

graduate

of

Yale

University,

was

appointed

head

of

the

School

of

Business

Administration

at

Stetson

University

in

1930.

Development

in

the

historic

district

came

to

a

virtual

halt

during

World

War

II,

and

then

resumed

in

the

late

1940s and

Conclusion

As

demonstrated

above,

the

West

DeLand

Residential

District

fulfills

the

requirements

for

nomination

to

the

National

Register

of

Historic

Places

under

criterion

C in

the

areas

of

Architecture

and

Community

Planning.

The

large

residential

neighborhood

began

to

develop

almost

immediately

after

the

city

of

DeLand

was

founded

and

grew

in

response

to

the

changing

economic

conditions

of

the

community.

Residences

were

constructed

in

every

decade

of

the

period

of

historic significance

from

1884

to

1942,

and

a

wide

variety

of

architectural

styles

and

types

of

construction

are

represented

in

the

district. The

neighborhood

grew

as

a

series

of

small

planned

subdivisions,

providing

living

areas

for

the

constantly

growing

number

of

residents that

moved

to

DeLand

over

the

period

of

more

the

half

a

century.

Persons

that

contributed

significantly

to

the

development

and

prosperity

of

the

city

of

DeLand

lived

in

the

district

and

had

a

direct

hand

in

shaping

the

character

of

the

neighborhood.
