It is a significant architectural and historical resource for the entire city and the county. The neighborhood was established by an experienced New York real estate developer and featured innovative land use controls and infrastructure development which was not common for Florida real estate projects in that era, I SURVEY AREA I Harbor Oaks is located in Clearwater, Florida in Pinellas County. The city is the county seat. The neighborhood is located in the western portion of the city on Clearwater Harbor. It sits on a very high bluff, reported to be the highest bluff in on the West Coast of Florida. The main business core of Clearwater is to the north buffered by a few blocks of older residential homes. Fort Harrison Avenue, a major north/south artery is located on the east with mixed residential and commercial uses on the lots along Fort Harrison and on the opposite side. On the south side of the neighborhood is the Morton Plant Hospital Complex a very dense and extensive series of buildings. Further to the south is the famous Bellview Biltmore Hotel in Belleair, an 1897 resort hotel complex listed on the National Register of Historic Places. At the northwest corner of the neighborhood is the Donald Roebling Estate, also listed in the National Register of Historic Places. I t I I I I The layout of the subdivision is typical of most subdivisions. There are four east/west streets two blocks long and two north/south streets. West Druid Road runs along the north and curves around to the south. The lots vary in size but most are 60' x 130'. Along the west side on the bay are a series of large lots which vary from 400' to 500' and are 60' wide.

HARBOR Ot\KS SURVEY AREA I I I I I HISTORIC PRESERVATION BACKGROUND I Preservation activities in Clearwater and Harbor Oaks began with a private effort. In 1976 an Volunteers in Preservation was formed to undertake a survey of much of the area in central Pinellas County, particularly in Clearwater. The group was supported by assistance from the Division of Archives, History and Records Management through an historic sites specialist. The project identified fourteen buildin~considered eligible for the Florida Master Site Files and a recommendation was made to pursue the development of an historic district. A local survey form was developed for the project and research on each house in the neighborhood was collected by several volunteers. Jan McNutt undertook the detailed work of tracing tax roll information on the various properties. No final Florida Master Site File forms were ever submitted for this project. I I I The City of Clearwater ~irst adopted an Historic Preservation Element for its Comprehensive Plan in 1979 and revised the plan in 1984. This plan recognized the significance of Harbor Oaks as a neighborhood which contained the "finest examples of period architecture and material use." It recommended the designation of the community as an historic district designated under a local historic district ordinance. , J I I I Several incidents over the past several years have contributed to the apparent need for such controls. The first incident was the development of new home sites on the Roebling Estate at the northwest corner of the neighborhood. Both residents of the neighborhood and interested community leaders discovered that there was no mechanism to prevent the project from taking place and destroying much of the historic landscaping and grounds on the property~ More recently, the demolition of the finest local example of Colonial Revival architecture raised questions about the prevention of demolitions in the neighborhood. This past year, a proposal to place a telephone switching station in the neighborhood on the east met with fervent opposition from the neighborhood who were able to stop the required rezoning of the parcel. It has become evident that there will be no end to proposals to alter the integrity of the neighborhood and that without controls, the neighborhoods special character will erode over time and rob Clearwater of this important historic resource. I , I I I As a follow-up to the plan, the City Planning staff proposed an ordinance to designate the area as an historic district. This ordinance included the appointment ~f an architectural review board. The proposal met with neighborhood opposition and it was never brought before the City Commmission. The city later decided to seek a grant from the Division of Historical Resources to fund a survey of Harbor Oaks to prepare a proposal for the nomination of the area to the National Register of Historic Resources. The project was also intended to prepare an ordinance I 4 I , I .. I I which would be acceptable to the neighborhood and which would provide for recognition and protection of the resources in the neighborhood. In 1985, the city was awarded this grant to undertake the survey. I In April 1986, Florida Preservation Services was retained by the City of Clearwater to complete a survey of the Harbor Oaks and the surrounding area to identify buildings and sites which would contribute to the Harbor Oaks Historic District. The firm's responsibilities included the preparation of a developmental history of the neighborhood, compilation of a bibliography on Harbor Oaks history, architectural field work, research of potential sites, preparation of Florida Master Site File Forms for submission to the Division of Historic Resources, and the preparation of a final report on the project including recommendations for a preservation plan, ordinance, and a nomination for the district. I 1 I Most surveys of this nature are conducted with tremendous help from local individuals. The people in Clearwater were particularly helpful in this project. The research on the homes in Harbor Oaks was greatly aided by the extensive research which Mrs. Jan McNutt has undertaken over the past years on homes in the community. She was very gracious to make her hard work available to the consultant staff for their use in compiling the site form information. Gyneth Stanley was equally helpful in making oral history tapes of Dean Alvord and Tavor Bayly available to us to use in researching the neighborhood. She also made her abstract available which gave us good leads for further research on the early history of the community. I also appreciate the help of the staff at Heritage Park who made extensive material available including Sanborn Maps, photographs, old brochures, and city directories. Thanks must also go to Chris Papandreas and Lou Hilton of the City of Clearwater for working so closely with us on this project. Finally, thanks must go to the Harbor Oaks Neighborhood Association Board of Directors for working hard to meet with us concerning problems in the neighborhood. I , I I I I , I I I 'J~~ t 5 I I I SURVEY PROCEDURE I This survey was primarily a professional survey supported by research and advice from the city and residents of the neighborhood. The consultant's responsibilities included field survey, historic research, preparation of Florida Master Site File Forms, and preparation of a final report. The survey area encompassed the Harbor Oaks subdivision, an area to the north of Harbor Oaks including a number of small subdivisions located west of Fort Harrison and south of Turner Street, and Bluff View subdivision along Jeffords Street. I I I I I During the fall of 1986 the field work and the recording of individual buildings through photography and architectural descriptions was conducted by the consultant. The consultant and his staff recorded architectural information and locational data in the field. This information was later verified after receiving photographic prints and entered into a computerized database. I The consultant reviewed secondary and some primary sources of information to determine the early development of the city and the neighborhood. This research led to information on possible locations of early historical activity. The documentary review involved those documents included in the bibliography, including old maps, probate records, county records, secondary works, abstracts, and newspapers. The primary information for dating of the buildings came from a series of Sanborn Insurance maps, complete county tax rolls and oral tradition. I I I I I After a portion of the field work was completed, the research phase began. This involved the collection of legal data and historical data on each site. The minimum goal on each site was date of construction, identification of earliest occupant and any available biographical data. This involved a review of the tax rolls, Sanborn Maps, and old city directories. Fortunately it was discovered that Ms. Janet McNutt had completed the tax roll research on every house in Harbor Oaks and made that material available to the consultant. Additional tax roll research was conducted by the consultant on the houses in the survey area but outside the Harbor Oaks subdivision. A form was used to develop research information on the sites. Each site was researched until a reasonable idea of a date of construction could be determined from the available data or until exhaustive research yielded little or no information, which was the case with several. The city directories were examined to confirm the residents of the houses in the 1920s and 1930s. This enabled the consultant to identify the occupations of many of the residents which helped in determining biographical material on them. Since it was known that there were nationally prominent figures living in Harbor Oaks, major biographical references were consulted to I I I 1 6 I I. I obtain biographical material on the residents. I After the research was completed, the historical data was added to the data base to complete the forms. A statement of significance about the architecture and history of the building was drafted and entered on the form. When all were completed, they were printed onto a blank Florida Master Site File form and printed automatically. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 7 I I I I SURVEY CRITERIA I The criteria for this project were centered on the use of the criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Those criteria are used to guide communities in evaluating sites, buildings and districts for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. These criteria are as follows: I I The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association and: I t A. that are associated with events that have made significant contributions to the broad patterns of our history; or I B. that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or c. that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity who~e components may lack individual distinction; or I I D. that have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important to prehistory or history. I Ordinarily cemeteries, birthplaces, or graves of historical 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 National Register. 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: I I I A. a religious property deriving primary significance from architectural or artistic distinction or historical importance; or I I B. a building or structure removed from its original location but which is significant for architectural value, or which is the surviving structure most importantly associated with a historic person or event; or I 3 I I I I I I I I I I ,I I I I I I I I I I C. a birthplace or grave of a historical figure of outstanding importance if there is no other appropriate site or building directly associated with a historic person or event; or D. a cemetery that derives its primary significance 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 plan, and when no other building or structure with the same association has survived; or F. a property primarily commemorative in intent if design, age, tradition, or symbolic value has invested it with its own historical significance; or G. a property achieving significance within the past 50 years, if it is of exceptional importance. The development of a proposal for the lising of Harbor Oaks in the National Register of Historic Places was a specific objective of this project and thus dictated the use of these criteria to evaluate contributing buildings. Contributing buildings for this survey consisted of those structures built before 1940 which were generally intact and represented the types of housing from the different periods in the neighborhood's development. Initially it was thought that a larger area which included several small subdivisions to the north should. constitute the National Register district. It was determined that the developmental history of Harbor Oaks was distinguished from the remaining portions of Clearwater and so the decision was made to confine the district to the original boundaries of Harbor Oaks. This meant that the houses outside of the subdivisions would not be evaluated for their contributing significance but on their individual significance. 9 I I I ,..11 eCD -! .. in a-O -'II CD-c I I I I I I I I I I I I I I FIGURE 3.

The earliest known use of the area was as a military post during the Second Seminole War. Following that conflict, the property was acquired by a series of owners who built homes and raised agricultural products on the land. In this century, the area became a major residential subdivision where leading national figures and important local individuals built homes. I I I I Fort Harrison was the first documented activity on the site of Harbor Oaks. This installation was estarlished April 7, 1841 as the headquarters for the Sixth Infantry. The main purpose of the fort was to provide protection for local settlers from possible Indian attack during the Second Seminole War. This was part of Colonel William J. Worth's strategy for defense of the settlers in Florida, which resulted in over one hundred forts being established during this period. I I The installation consisted of a series of buildings locate~ on the bluff west of Orange Avenue and northwest of Druid Road. (There is a plaque located on the wall adjacent to the Donald Roebling Estate on Druid Road which marks the genral area of the fort.) The complex was constructed for five companies consisting of 300 men in April and May of 1841. The structures were all of log and consisted of at least a headquarters, officer's quarters, general quarters, jail, hospital, a mess hall and a bakery. The stables were c~nstructed of a pine wood frame and a palmetto thatched roof. I I I I Troops stationed at the fort were involved in a number of small forays and campaigns. The location of the camp on the coast made it easy to transport troops from the post up and down the coast to hot spots. They ranged north to Cedar Keys where they were involved in inland campai~ns and obtained rest at Cantonment Morgan on Sea Horse Key. The fort did not last long. In October 1841, it was abandoned. This may have been the result of damage from a hurricane which struck on October 19, 1841 and ~ destroyed Fort Dulaney at the Caloosahatchee River to the south.] The abandonment may also have been because the theater of the war had shifted to the south and threats to settlers in the area near Fort Harrison had lessened. I I I The bluff at Harbor Oaks became a popular settlement spot in the early years of statehood. The first settler on the site was John Stevens. Stevens homesteaded the property in December 1842, and had his claim confirmed in 1848. He took over the buildings from the fort for his personal use. The homestead I I 11 ~ I i r..._,...

APPROXIMATE LOCATION OF JOHN STE;ENS HOMESTEAD ~ASED ON GOVERNMENT SURVEY PLAT I I which Stevens owned was located west of Fort Harrison Avenue betweeg Jeffords Street on the south and Rogers Street on the north. I Stevens occupied the old fort site until 1850 when he sold the property to John S. Taylor. Taylor was a planter from Brooksville who established his residence on the 165. It is not clear from the record whether he located his home in the portion of the acreag7 involving Harbor Oaks or whether he lived at another site. Taylor raised cattle and hogs which ran loose in the surrounding woods and was assisted gy at least four slaves in the operation of the farm on the bluff. He occupied the property until 1858 when he sold it to Nancy Campbell who immediately sold the property to William T. Collier. Campbell was the grandmother of A. C. Turner who played a ma~or part in the development of Clearwater north of Harbor Oaks. I !I I I Collier established his home in Harbor Oaks in 1859. He10 also managed cattle and hogs and raised vegetables and corn. Between 1859 and 1862 Collier remained on the farm and continued his agricultural pursuits even as the rivil War began. In 1862, Collier sold the farm to William Lowe. Collier left the west coast and probably settled in New Symrna during the war. After the war he moved his family to Monroe County where he established a home t2d a famous coasting trade with his son based at Marco Island. I I I There is no record of the activities of the next two owners of Harbor Oaki3 William Lowe sold the property in 1865 to William Kemp. Kemp remained YRtil 1874 when he sold it to William F. and Green F. Spurlin. No records can be found of Kemp's activities although it must be assumed that he operated much as his predecessors running cattle and growing subsistence crops. I I William F. and Green F. Spurlin of Wilcox County, Alabama developed the property into a home. The partners started in 1874 by probably building a home on the property. It is also possible that they planted an orange grove during this period. ) Their grove and house also appear on an 1886 chart of Tampa Bay which indicates thf6 the house was located at the southwest corner of Harbor Oaks. I I The Spurlins sold the property to Augustus B. Ewing and David B. Gould of St. Louis, Missouri in 1337. Ewing and Gould built several houses and continued the development of the oI7nge grove. They constructed a rail fence around their property. These two St. Louis families probably maintained the property as a winter home and a producing grove which was a common practice among many northern businessmen. David B. Gould died in the 1890s and his heirs continued to operate the grove with the Ewings. In 1904, the Gould heiss and the Ewings formed the Ft. Harrison Orange Grove Company. This company replaced the rail I I I 13 I I I I I Best Copy A'vailable I I I . ,;,,'.)~~~;,'; '~~,~,,: . , . ;:S' "f ,,~~"~r{:\~~~~,~, ~j':.~ . ". "'~"'/~~ ?;)~,J;~~~ld~'~ .

There was also a large gate constructed at the entrance to trg grove which had a shingle roof supported by large square posts. I In the early 1880s Clearwater was relatively isolated with the major access by boat from Cedar Key and Key West but it did not remain that way. Across the bay in Tampa, Henry B. Plant completed the South Florida Railroad to that town in 1886. In 1888 the Orange Belt Railroad was completed 28 Clearwater from Oakland in Orange County by Peter A. Demens. This connection provided easy access to transportation thus encouraging the rapid expansion of the citrus industry in the area. This was surely why it is easy to understand that the Ewing/Gould grove was one of many located in Clearwater at the time. I I I I The 1880s was the time when Clearwater expanded and became a town. It had been a post office stop since 1859, but remained a cluster of small farms. In 1880, the first hotel was built and a second was constructed in 1885. These brought tourists and more settlers. Clearwater had several plats of lots for a town laid out by 1887'2including those of A. O. Turner just to the north of Harbor Oaks. In 1891, Cle~2water was incorporated and the limits included Harbor Oaks. I I To the south of Harbor Oaks was a tract of land which Henry B. Plant acquired in the 1890s. He developed the Hotel Bellview which opened in the 1897 after his death. The project also included the development of a model town which did not get completely realized until 1925. The amenities included a bicycle race track, golf course and smaLl private cottages and attracted wealthy industrialists, socialites, financiers, and railroad executives. This hotel brought increased attention to the small community of Clearwater and eventually Harbor Oaks. I I I Clearwater was not the largest city in Pinellas County. In fact it was a small community with a population of 300 in 1895 and 343 in 1900. It had grown to 1,171 by 1910. The central business district was to the north of the Gould Grove along Cleveland Street between Fort Harrison Avenue and Osceola Street. Fort Harrison was a dirt road which extended south of town on the east of the grove. Large residences dotted the bluff overlooking Clearwater Bay where large homes were built with a multitude of docks projecting into the bay. The area behind these houses and to the east of town contained numerous orange groves which provided the largest portion of the peninsula's industry. I I I I Pinellas County was created in 1912 from the western peninsula of Hillsborough County. After some fierce fighting, Clearwater became the county seat. The first courthouse was constructed near Cleveland Street in 1912. Residential sections grew in a helter-skelter fashion north and south of the business district as small parcels were divided and sold for house lots. A. C. Turner was typical of the men who sold land in this way. He developed a number of parcels just north of the Gould Grove around Turner Street. The county also built new schools.

GATE TO THE GOULD GROVE HARBOR OAKS ASSOCIATION 8YLA~S . 9:- I I I I replaced the 1906 SouZ~ Ward School northeast of the grove on Fort Harrison Avenue. I When the city became the county seat its infrastructure and amenities were few. Electricity and water were provided to the centrat4business district by J. G. McClung's Clearwater Ice Plant. The streets including Fort Harrison Avenue were dirt with parkways which were generally full of weeds and without curbs except in the downtown. Most yards were fenced to prevent animals from getting in as much as to prevent their getting out. A long wooden pier projected from the end of Cleveland Street where many dances and events took place. I I I Community awareness of the need for public improvements and facilities became widespread in Florida during the 1910s. Bond issues passed throughout Florida for roads, schools, utilities, and libraries. Clearwater began major road improvements after a bond issue in 1912. Most of the major roads were bricked and curbed during the decade. The utilities were extended to residential areas. To the south of the old Gould Grove thZ5 Morton F. Plant Memorial Hospital was constructed in 1915. I I I The first awareness of the need for community planning also began to appear in the 1910s. Pinellas County retained the Frederick Law Olmstead firm to develop the first Pinellas County master plan. This plan called for road improvements, new schools and managed growth. It strongly urged the acquisition of waterfront property by the county f~6 protection.of the ba~ and to develop parks for the community. It was thlS developlng climate of the respect for growth management and facilities improvement that the community of Harbor Oaks came to be. I I In 1910 events took place which would result in the development of Clearwater's first and exclusive modern subdivision, Harbor Oaks. Dean Alvord was a major developer in New York City and on Long Island. He started out working with a number of investors who asked him to go to New York and invest in real estate for them. At first he became involved in ~ge renovation of older homes in Garden City, Long Island. His first development project involved the Roslyn Subdi2~sion where he established his own home on a thirty acre tract. His other projects included the development of severa1gsections in Brooklyn including Prospect Park South and Flatbush. On Long Island he developed Belle Terre and Dean Alvord Estates. Most of Alvord's projects were for upper class homes which brought him and his son Donald into close contact with wealthy industrialists, financiers, and attorneys. I I I I I Like many of his fellow New Yorkers, Alvord was interested in Florida. He visited the state on several occasions. At one point he became acquainted with Henry Flagler who too~Ohim to Miami to get advice on real estate development there. After much careful examination Alvord decided to establish a permanent winter home3in the state and around 1910 or 1911 he decided on Clearwater. E. H. Coachman had recently purchased the grove I I I I I from the Ft. Harrison Orange Grove Company and had just sold the fruit, Alvord did not3~ant all of the land, but only enough to build his winter home. Coachman would not sell i~3in small parts and thus Alvord acquired the entire property. Dean Alvord constructed one of the first homes (802 Druid Road) in Harbor Oaks just past the point where Druid Road turns sou3a. This house was a simple Colonial Revival stucco structure. I I Alvord decided to undertake the development of an exclusive neighborhood designed to attract wealthy residents and protect the values of the property which was purchased. Sophisticated development was not the norm in Florida during the 1910s. Most developers merely sold surveyed land with graded roads and without amenities such as paved streets, curbs, sewer and water. This was, however, the age in Florida of rapid expansion of public facilities as residents became more sophisticated and demanded more services for their money. Promoters found that qualitative features such as roads, sewers, water and landscaping could be promoted to discriminating buyers who recognized the value of such improvements. I I I I Alvord was used to installing such facilities in his urban projects in New York and thus set out to develop his new subdivision complete with roads and sewers. He turned the land and the project over to his son Donald who was young but becoming a very astute real estate salesman. The subdivision was developed out of land which included waterfront, an orange grove and a marshy pond. Druid Road, named for the well known English religious cult, wajsnamed by Dean Alvord and became the first major improvement. The road was graded and paved. These 36 included curbs, gutters, pavement, and sidewalks of concrete. Brick pillars were installed at several entrances to the project. A complete sewer system was installed which drained into a large septic tank system at the southwest corner of the development. The overflow originally ran into the bay. At some point, probably in the 1920s a tennis court was added to the neighborhood's amenities near the corne37of Bay Street and Magnolia Drive. It was later removed. Underground utilities were installed along the streets in 1915 by J. G. McClung the owner of the Clearwater Ice Plant which supplied electric power to the city, The underground utilities were mainly buried cable which provided power to 27 street lights. There was no street front electrical wiring. The electricity for the lots was provided from the rear lot lines and originally installed on power poles painted green. These lines went underground in conduit where they crossed the main roads. Alvord also acquired a large number of oaks and palms which were set out along the parkways. A channel was dredged to the pier at the end of Magnolia Avenue and the spoil was used to fill behind a bulkhead along the shore. The fill was also used to fill a marshy area which probably contained a spring near the southeast part of the subdivision. Alvord had to fill the area three times I I I I I I I I I I 18 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ~ HARBOR OAKS I CLEARW Arm, :-: FLORIDA I I The Riviera of the Sunny South ~ , Without doubt the fil1est\:lOre dcl'cloprnent on [he West CO,15t of Florida.

Coachman's sons before the filling work was complete. I The development was opened by January 1914. Several large advertisements in the Tampa Tribune, Clearwater Sun and the St. Petersburg Times called Harbor Oaks "The Riviera of the Sunny South" and the "finest shore development on the West coast of Florida". The description indicate~9that portions of the development were completed by 1914. This was probably the portion along Druid Road and Jasmine Way and Magnolia Drive since most of the houses on these streets date from that period. I I I Alvord offered a relatively new and innovative approach to development in Florida, the deed restriction. Such restrictions were the precursor of zoning and land use controls in a period before governments attempted to institute them through their police powers. The need for such controls became obvious in rapidly developing communities. Restrictions were needed to prevent residential areas from becoming commercial with the resulting construction of incompatible new structures which, in those days would have reduced property values. The restrictions included permitted uses, setbacks, and cost of houses built. I I I The advertisements for the project promoted the fact that the lots were restricted. Prospects were promised that the restrictio~5 constituted "fully one third the value of residence property". An October 1914 advertisement noted that several new residents had been forced from other areas of Clearw~rer due to a lack of control over the adjacent uses of property. I I The arrangement of the lots and their purchase price were fairly typical of the period. The lots were 60' wide by 130' deep except for the large lots along the west side of Druid Road which were 400' deep. Thesi lots were platted to the water and included a drop in elevation of approximately twenty five feet at the bluff. Terms of purchase were twenty percent4~own and ten percent semi annually with six per cent interest. I I I Harbor Oaks was certainly not the largest or most active of the developments in the county but it was exclusive and attracted many well known individuals. The first houses in the neighborhood were completed by 1915. Most of them were homes for current residents. Taver Bayly (301 Jasmine Way), a local citrus man and banker43built a bungalow at the corner of Druid Road and Jasmine Way. This bungalow became a prominent feature in all of Alvord's promotional material on the neighborhood. John B. Lyon, a lumberman built a home at 10054Rruid Road which was also featured in the local advertisements. Sewell Ford (803 Druid Road), a nationally famous writer, constructed a home in the project and called it Casa de San Antonio. He was the first of several natia~ally known figures who established winter homes in Harbor Oaks. In all, seven houses were built during the first years of the development. The development of Harbor Oaks continued at a slow pace over the following ten years. A I I I I 25 I I I few homes were built eclch yea, with 1918 zging a busy one when five homes were built by local residents. It was not until the peak of the Florida Boom in 1925 that many of the better known residents built homes in Harbor Oaks. I I Many of those who bought lots in Harbor Oaks were acquaintances of the Alvords. Dean Alvord and his son circulated in wealthy circles in the New York area and were close friends with many financiers and industrialists. These contacts produced prospects for their many projects including Harbor Oaks. For example, Edmund Lyons who purchased the original Alvord house on Druid Road was a close friend of Dean Alvord. The family also became close friends with the Browns and the Judds along Druid Road. In a recent interview, Donald Alvord admitted that he sold many lots to people who he knew and that these were the best clients for such a development as Harbor Oaks. Today, any real estate salesman would agree that friends and word of mouth prod~7e the best prospects and so it obviously did seventy years ago. I I I Clearwater became a part of the rapid real estate land boom in Florida in the 1920s. In 1920 there were 2,247 residents and by 1925 there were 5,004 in the city. The large citrus industry in the area was damaged by a hurricane in 1921. Many of the owners replaced their groves with subdivisions as they moved to cash in on the fever of real estate buying occurring throughout the state during the decade, Large subdivisions grew everywhere with elaborate advertising and promotion. L. B. Skinner developed Mandalay on Clearwater Beach in 1922, the Fort Harrison Hotel was finished in 1926. There was an extensive development project in Belleair4So the south as well as areas all along the southern peninsula. I I I I ~9 early 1925 only twenty lots were left unsold in Harbor Oaks. . These were mainly along Magnolia and Lotus Path. During the winter and spring of 1925 Alvord ran nearly daily advertisements in the Clearwater Evening Sun promoting the remaining lots. He used new advertisements at least three times a week. Many of them featured photographs of the houses of prominent residents. Alvord was using his well established real estate company to promote the development. He was also involved in several other projects in Clearwater and on Clearwater Beach. His firm operated as a broker for other properties in the community a~8 at one point operated an office in St. Petersburg. Alvord also owned a gladiolas farm which wa31 eventually developed into a subdivision known as Skycrest. I I I I I The advertising campaigns were directed at obvious markets. In the winter it was the winter tourist who was in the mood for a permanent winter residence. The advertisements promoted the fact the buyers of Harbor Oaks lots could live near "Ameri52' s best known men and women in literature, art, and finance." The spring campaign was directed at local buyers. Several advertisements featured local residents who purchased lots and built homes repeating the fact that these "prominent" local men I I 26 I I I had chosen Harbor Oaks for their home.53 successful and by the fall only nine lots 1927 the project had been sold out. The campaign was were left and by early I Donald Alvord was also involved in building several speculative houses in the subdivision. In 1925 he had three houses on Magnolia Drive under construction and for sale. These houses included Los Robles (429 Magnolia Drive) which was designed by Franklin O. Adams of Tampa. Casa Del Mar (423 Magnolia Drive) was ~~other of the mission style houses which he built on the street. These two houses were featured in several advertisements which offered the homes for sale as well as several newspaper articles. It is probably safe to assume that other houses were built this way. Alvord himself said that his father had a habit of building houses and livi~3 in them a few years and selling it and building another one. I I I I Robert S. Brown acquired the original Alvord Estate during the decade. He added extensive wings to the north and south of the main house, changed the configuration of the original windows and made extensive alterations to the inside. Elaborate gardens were constructed down the bluff. He constructed a large bell towner and installed an extensive organ system in the building. I In 1929 another estate was completed nearby which rivaled the Brown estate. This large and imposing Tudor style house was built for Donald Roebling who was from New York City. He became an important engineer, philanthropist and inventor. He would later become famous for his Alligator a~ghibious vehicle which he designed and built during World War II. I I Florida was a destination of many of America's leading individuals in the 1920s. Large winter homes were constructed in Harbor Oaks by prominent figures, particularly along Magnolia Drive. Important persons included James Studebaker, III (413 Magnolia Drive), a banker and member of the famous automaker's family; Robert Ingersall (322 Magnolia Drive), founder of the machinery firm which was predecessor to the Ingersall/Rand Corporation; and Charles Ebbetts (301 Druid Road), owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers. It is likely that several of these individuals knew Alvord from New York and could explain their presence in the town. Another writer, Rex Beach, shared a home with A. B. Crews for several years in the 1920s. I I I I I Prominent local individuals also built homes in Harbor Oaks in the 1920s. These included M. A. McMullen (302 Druid Road) who was circuit judge and son of one of the pioneer families of the area. W. F. Rehbaum (302 Druid Road), who owned West Coast Hardware and was instrumental in developing packaged mail order fruit, built a home on Druid Road. I Two local builders were very active in the neighborhood. Robert Thompson built several homes in the neighborhoods in the 1930s and late 1920s. G. A. Eichelberger (410 Jasmine Way) built his own home on Jasmine Way and was Alvord's official builder. I I 27 I I I The neighborhood became a tightly knit community which was structured to insure the maintenance of the special qualities of the subdivision. Alvord led the way by insuring that each homeowner would participate in the continued maintenance of the streets and landscaping. On February 17, 1920, the Harbor Oaks Association was formed by t~7 residents pursuant to the requirement of their deeds. The association functioned as a neighborhood owners association. There were mandatory assessments which were used to pay for the maintenance of the streets, curbs, plants and trees. This organization was formed to accomplish these activities without the help of the city. In most communities, the city was not involved in continued maintenance of amenities. This mechanism became popular as a sales tool and provided security to the investments of the residents. This approach to development became prominent in the 1920s but in 1914, in Florida was still fairly rare and makes the organization and development of Harbor Oaks significant. This association continues to operate today and works to maintain the character of the neighborhood. It may well be one of the oldest neighborhood associations in Florida. I I I I I I The organization of the association provided for an extremely representative form of government. The nine member board was elected so that each street in Harbor Oaks was represented. Standing committees were established for finance, police and fire protection, streets and sidewalks, taxation, public utilities, and law, The board had the authority to set yearly assessments which were5~sed to maintain the roads and parkways in the neighborhood. I I In establishing its purpose, the association sought to perpetuate the qualities which made Harbor Oaks attractive to its initial residents. The by-laws stated that the benefits of the association were derived from the fact that: I I The charm of Harbor Oaks, which is lacking in many residential districts of even larger cities lies in the uniformity of planting and the continued upkeep of the plants, palms, trees, and parks. General municipal and state taxation has never been sufficient to properly plant much less continually keep up the street parkway in front of each home - hence the usual heterogenous growth of weeds and grass found there. Harbor Oaks funds are expended entirely upon the street parkways in front of the building line of each plot and the entire time of a gardner emp!~yed yearly by the Association is necessary for this work. I I I I The association continues in effect today. It is probably one of the oldest neighborhood associations in Florida. Although the deed restrictions including the mandatory assessments have long since expired, the purpose of the association is the same. Harbor Oaks has continued to be a well maintained, quality neighborhood. The original street lamps, parkways and public areas are generally intact. This is much to the credit of the I I 28 I I association which works hard to represent the community before the city on neighborhood problems and needs. , I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 29 I I I FOOTNOTES I 1.

I I I I I I I 32 I I I ARCHITECTURE OF HARBOR OAKS I The character of the Harbor Oaks historic district is defined by several important features such as architectural style, lot size and coverage, landscaping, scale and materials. It is the combination of these elements which create the ambiance and quality of this Clearwater neighborhood. I I I The streetscape of Harbor Oaks is significant to the character of the neighborhood. The broad streets have wide parkways with sidewalks. Bay Avenue features an esplanade which creates an east- west division in the neighborhood. The streets are lined with palms and oak trees most of which were planted in 1915-16. While there are overhead street lights, there is a system of ground level street lights which date to the beginning of the neighborhood. The parkways have one of two types of Classical street lamps. It appears that some of the original classical poles have been replaced but this lighting feature has been lost in most communities in Florida and they are important to the overall character of the neighborhood. These features were a part of the original development and have become an integral part of the neighborhood's special character. At the entrances of the neighborhood are massive brick pillars which have become landmarks to the neighborhood by designating the limits of this special area. I I I I The lots of Harbor Oaks are generally 60' wide and 130' deep. The development pattern departed from this form. Many of the houses are located on parcels which consist of at least two lots which form a frontage of from 80' to 130'. These lots consist of wither paired lots or a full lot and portions of adjacent lots. The houses generally are sited laterally on the lot with the wide portion parallel to the street. The large lot configurations allowed this to happen. The setbacks are uniform with the general front setback at about 25' from the sidewalk. I I I The overall character of the neighborhood is defined by these large lots, uniform setbacks and house configuration coupled with general house characteristics. The majority of the homes are two stories and either wood or stucco. The facades are usually three bay with a central entrance. Wide eaves supported by heavy modillions are typical of the many houses in the neighborhood. These eaves are a feature which is derived from the Prairie School. It is not clear why so many of the houses in the neighborhood have this feature but it is common in various styles. Windows vary from wood double hung sash to casement, all set in simple surrounds. I I I I There are a number of exceptional homes in Harbor Oaks which are landmark examples of architecture in their own right. The Harrison/Plunket House (205 Magnolia Drive) and the Dean Alvord House (208 Magnolia Drive) are exceptional examples of the I 33 I I I Mediterranean Revival style. Both houses feature very elegant detailing such as quions, elaborate entrance architraves, and large terraces. Both houses anchor the west end of Magnolia Drive. The Bowen House (421 Druid Road) is an exceptional example of the Prairie School. The use of the broad, low hip roof and the rectilinear pilasters are the main features of this house. It appears that this structure may have been a one of a kind design and not derived from popular plan books. Of course the Alvord/Brown House (802 Druid Road) is an interesting transformation. Brown created a magnificent eclectic home from the simple Colonial Revival influenced home of Dean Alvord. Eventually Brown improved the gardens and added a campanile tower on the water front. The Price House (301 Lotus Path) is a very interesting combination of Classical and Prairie School designs. The house bears the typical broad eaves with modillions. It also incorporates the distinctive belt course between the first and second floors which was so common to the Prairie School. Yet it also incorporates classical balustrades and classical details on a t the entrance. I I I I I I The architecture of Harbor Oaks may be defined in terms of architectural style. A brief description of these styles, with local illustrations follows. I I I I I I I '~~~..', ~ ,.'.~- I Best Copy Available FIGURE 14.

COMMON ARCHITECTURAL TRAITS IN HARBOR OAKS ,- I COLONIAL REVIVAL I The Colonial Revival style developed in America after the turn of the century as a conservative trend associated with the east coast. The style involved the revival of architectural forms from the American Colonial period. Various elements from the Adams, Federal and Georgian styles were combined to create a new style which became known as Colonial Revival. I I I Colonial Revival styles were popularized through mail order plans and home magazines. It appears from the results of several surveys conducted in Florida that the style is an indicator of the presence of strong conservative and business interests in the community, as opposed to the image of economy associated with the bungalow. I I I The Colonial Revival is the major picturesque influence in Harbor Oaks. These homes generally date from 1915 through 1926. They are formal and balanced in design and plan. Many have central stair halls and formal room layouts. They generally have gable ends of brick, stone or wood. Small classical columns are found on small front porches. Stylized colonial frontispieces are often the only decorative feature of otherwise plain exteriors. The most common form in Harbor Oaks is the tiled, low pitched hip roof. This feature is emphasized by the use of broad eaves supported by heavy modillions (blocks). , 1 I I The main form of the Colonial Revival features a central entrance flanked by paired double hung sash windows with multiple lights. Shutters were non-functional. Construction materials range from wood frame clapboard to hollow clay tile and stucco. Tile is found more frequently in the 1920's. Exterior finishes are generally stucco with occasional examples of brick veneer. Architectural detailing is limited to a simple classical frontispiece, boxed eaves, and simple Colonial details on the interior. Examples may be found at 302 Druid Road (William Rehbaum house) and 312 Druid Road (McAnulty house). The buildings at 411 Druid Road (Randolf house) and 423 Druid Road (Beecher House) are variations on the Colonial Revival known as Dutch Colonial featuring gambrel roofs and shed dormers.

It emerged from the late nineteenth century Victorian architectural period, and evolved from the Shingle, Queen Anne, and other eclectic designs. This particular form traces its origins to the architecture of several California architects at the turn of the century, in particular two brothers, Charles Sumner Greene and Henry Mather Greene. Their home designs were influenced by Oriental, Swiss and American architecture. Their initial works involved highly sophisticated homes of the wealthy, using locally available materials such as redwood and quarried rock. Their intent was to develop houses which reflected the natural environment of California. I I I I The work of Greene and Greene became the influence for the popularization of the bungalow as an affordable housing form widely used in the early development of American suburban residential areas. Mail order plans were widely available; as early as 1906 plan books published by Sears and Roebuck and Montgomery Ward featured designs using the open plans and low gable features of the Greene and Greene designs. Fred T. Hodgson who provided standard house plans for both mail order companies wrote in 1906 of the bungalow: I I The more one becomes familiar with the buildings which have been erected in California of late years, the more one comes to appreciate the architectural style for its own purpose of the California Bungalow. It is not too much to say that these bungalows are on the whole the best type of cheap frame house which has been erected in large numbers in this country since the old New England farmhouse went out of fashion. I I I The popularity of the style quickly spread across the nation into every community through major magazines such as House Beautiful, Good Housekeeping, Ladies Home Journal, and Country Life in America. Plan books were published extensively between 1903 and 1930, featuring the bungalow. Some offered complete house kits available by mail order, while others were built from the plans by local builders. I I I Several bungalows are found in Harbor Oaks. These are typically one story, frame structures with gabled roofs. Porches of one or two bays are covered by a gable roof projection and are supported by square brick or wood pedestals with filled balustrades. Windows are generally paired or grouped with 3/1 double hung sash, multiple/1 double hung sash, or wood casements. The houses have wide eaves, flat bargeboards with diamond shaped blocks resembling the ends of rafters, and in many cases large elaborate brackets. ~ost of the bungalows have fireplaces with exterior chimneys, often with two small windows on either side of the fireplace. I I I 41 I I I There are many types of this widespread housing form. A typology has been developed as the result of survey research, which is useful in describing the overall characteristics of each bungalow identified. In Harbor Oaks, the Type III and Type IV are found, and are described below: I Bungalow Type III I The Type III bungalow has a gable roof facing the street over an almost square form. The floor plans of these houses are generally open. A gable projects from the facade of the house over an open porch which is often screened. Bungalow details include heavy knee brackets at the eave, low-lying gables, and multiple windows. Excellent examples of this type are found in Harbor Oaks at 301 Jasmine Avenue (Taver Bayly home) and 430 Druid Road (Price- Miller home). I I J i Bungalow Type IV The Type IV bungalow is a large one and one half story house. The gable is parallel to the street and incorporates a shed dormer on the broad roof slope. The veranda is inset under the main roof and supported by round wood posts. An example of this style is found at 416 Druid Road (J.A. Sheldon home). I I I t I I I I I I Best Copy FIGURE 22.

This practice became popular in the late 1910's as part of increased national interest in historical styles and architecture. The style became popular in Florida as a real estate promotion which attempted to create an American Riviera in Florida. It first appears in Miami in 1917 at "El Jardin," the winter home of John Brinkley designed by the firm of Kienal and Elliot of Pittsburgh. The style quickly became popular and was heavily promoted as appropriate for the Florida climate and the state's Spanish heritage. I I I Eclectic design characteristics include the use of Moorish columns, spanish barrel clay tile gable and hip roofs, stucco exteriors with terracotta decorative features, and multi-level plans, Loggias and arcades are common features with plans in a U or ell-shape enclosing a courtyard. The walls may be decorated with cartouches, tile and terracotta insets. Highly decorated entrance door and window surrounds are common featuring Spanish, Moorish, Byzantine and Baroque motifs. I I The house at 423 Magnolia Drive is a good example of this style. I I I, I I I I I I 8est Co "'""' 4 Va IIabr: 25 .

Architects developed the style based on studies of early Spanish missions in the Southwest which featured adobe and stucco construction, Spanish details, and open, spreading plans. Most importantly, buildings were void of elaborate decoration and relied on mass, arched openings, clay tile roof tiles and shaped parapets for distinguishing features. Many floor plans resembled typical bungalow plans. The popularity of this style increased in Florida with the real estate boom of the 1920's. I I I I The Mission style is more common in Harbor Oaks than the Mediterranean Revival style, even in larger homes. These are usually hollow clay tile clad in rough textured stucco. The bungalow floor plan is common. Roofs are either low sloped gables with barrel clay tiles or flat with raised parapets punctuated with small barrel tile pent roofs. The lack of external detail is evident in these houses and seems less a function of the preference of the Mission than a part of the general movement among builders toward the more simple and less decorative lines. I I I One example of the Mission style is the Eichelberger house at 410 Jasmine Way. It features rounded arched windows and a low, tiled roof. The Palsiano house at 419 Jasmine Way is also of interest. These houses feature characteristic arcades, flat roofs and balconies.

The style is actually comprised of several substyles derived from rural English themes. These include English Country, French, Norman and Tudor. The style traces its origins to the late nineteenth century when architects borrowed Medieval English house types and adapted them for large estate homes in the Northeastern United States. I I I The style is characterized by irregular or modified ell-shaped plans with steeply pitched intersecting gable roofs. Many have gabled dormers. The key elements in these houses is the use of brick in the construction with stucco and half-timbering in the gable ends. These houses reflect the loss of the eave in house construction. Their sizes range from massive and elaborately decorated structures to small cottages only hinting at the Tudor details. I I I The Tudor Revival does not appear in Harbor Oaks until the 1920's and become more popular in the 1930's. The houses tend to be fairly substantial and appear in residential neighborhoods with the other neighborhood styles of Colonial Revival and Mediterranean Revival. I A good example of this style in Harbor Oaks is the Judd house at 310 Druid Road. The Roebling House is also a good example. The simple, clean stucco lines and unbalanced roofline depart from the Norman features of the style. I I I I I I I I I 47 Best Copy Available I I I A. R C HE:' .'"

The style developed in Chicago under the leadership of Frank Lloyd Wright. This style was popularized through its appearance in magazines and plan books throughout the United States. The influence of the style was dramatic and widespread, nearly as pervasive as the bungalow. Typing this style is difficult in that it shares several elements with the Colonial Revival and simple versions only carry hints of the style. I I The Prairie style is characterized by a low hip roof with low hip dormers. Windows are paired and usually occur in a two bay arrangement or a three bay arrangement with a central bay incorporating a pivot or casement window. Porches are low hip roofed and single story. Roofs are supported by either tapered wood columns on brick pedestals or large square masonry pillars. Siding is usually clapboard, but shingles and stucco are also found. I I I A pure example of the Prairie School style may be found in Harbor Oaks at 421 Druid Road. It was built in 1924, which is rather late for this style to occur.

Fifty structures which were located in the actual Harbor Oaks subdivision were recorded for the Florida Master Site File and it was determined that the neighborhood was eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places as an historic district and a nomination for the area was prepared and submitted to the Florida Department of State. I I I I The most important result of this survey of course is listing of the area in the National Register. In conducting the survey it was first assumed that a larger area including structures to the north would be included in the nomination. After research was completed it was determined that the Harbor Oaks Subdivision was distinct from the surrounding areas and warranted nomination of a district located within the confines of the original subdivision. The buildings to the north related more to Clearwater history and less to the unique role which Harbor Oaks played and thus were considered separate resources for the purposes of this project. I I Early in the survey, several residents and the city staff suggested that the entire subdivision should be nominated to conform to the neighborhood covered by the jurisdiction of the Harbor Oaks Neighborhood Association. This possibility was considered in the course of the project, even the possibility that evidence from Fort Harrison might extend into the southern portions of the neighborhood. This was not the case and the decision was made to draw boundaries for the nomination which includes Druid Road, Jasmine Way, Magnolia Drive, excluding a portion on the eastern end, and nearly all of Lotus Path. I I I I The decision was a fairly straightforward one in that there were no contributing buildings located in these areas and their inclusion could not be justified. It should be clear that recent decisions by the National Park Service indicate that areas on the edges of an historic district which contain no contributing buildings should be excluded. In'the past it might have been possible to argue that the subdivision itself was historic, but there are no physical elements to enhance or add to the significance of the Harbor Oaks community and the inclusion of these areas could not be justified. A further reason for the definition of the district boundaries to exclude non-contributing buildings is the complications presented by the certification process for buildings which would be eligible for the Investment Tax Credit.

I non-contributing buildings in the edges of districts since they would then have to be de-certified in order for an owner to benefit from the non-historic tax credits. I In our opinion, the fact that we are recommending a limited area for listing in the National Register of Historic Places does not mean that a local ordinance should cover a district only defined by the National Register Criteria. The differences between the purposes of the Register and the local ordinance can require different boundaries. There is no doubt that the Harbor Oaks Subdivision itself is an important neighborhood and resource to Clearwater. Even the newer residences provide a pleasing and significant environment which should be protected. It is for this reason that the survey has determined that the local district should include the buildings along Lotus Path and on the eastern end of Magnolia Drive. I I ,I I In addition to the district, the survey also identified to potential historic archaeological sites. It is clear from the historical record that the site of Fort Harrison is located in the district and that there is good reason to believe that some form of archaeological remains are located in the area. It should be assumed that the later plantation and farming activities which had an ante-bellum structure and a house dating to the 1880s produced additional important historical remains particularly along the western portion of the district.

It has already been noted that an earlier attempt to establish an historic district by ordinance at the local level failed due to neighborhood opposition. Yet, there was still a feeling on the part of the city and some residents that the neighborhood needs protection and is in fact threatened. A meeting with neighborhood leaders revealed that there were a number of issues which concerned the residents of the neighborhood. These issues were thought by some to have a potential effect on the Harbor Oaks area. I I I DEMOLITIONS I In 1984, a resident demolished the house at 906 Druid Road to make way for landscaping of his adjacent residence. This event raised concern in the neighborhood that it could be the beginning of a gradual erosion of the historic resources in Harbor Oaks. Opposition to the demolition came from many residents of Clearwater who did not even live in the neighborhood. Nearly all of the residents in Harbor Oaks regret the loss of the building. Yet, there are mixed opinions in the neighborhood as to whether there should be any ordinances to prevent future demolitions. Those who oppose the imposition of any controls over demolition generally object to the legal limitations on private property 'rights. I ,I I I Demolition of resources can over time erode the character of an historic district. In Harbor Oaks, many of the homes located there are large and make major contributions to the character of the district. Should demolitions continue to occur in Harbor Oaks, eventually the special character of the neighborhood which first attracted the residents would be lost. At some point, the eligibility of the neighborhood as a National Register Historic District could be jeopardized. I I The actual threat of demolitions seems to be small in Harbor Oaks. The demolition of the house at 906 Druid Road should be viewed as an isolated case. It is not a part of a pattern nor circumstances which could produce a rash of demolitions. The real estate market in Harbor Oaks seems to place continued high values on homes there. Most the residents who have bought houses in Harbor Oaks are not going to demolish them to build another home but will renovate the existing building. I I I MAJOR ALTERATIONS I Insensitive alterations to homes appears to be a potential threat to Harbor Oaks, although it is difficult to assess the I 57 I :1 1 extent of the threat. The expensive nature of the homes in Harbor Oaks draws residents who can afford to undertake extensive renovation and the motivation is to do just that. The expansion and remodeling of homes can alter or destroy the existing character and scale of Harbor Oaks. Such alterations could include the use of inappropriate materials and details. Additions to existing houses could be extensive and also alter the homes to the point that they will no longer contribute to the character of the district. il I The extent of the threat of insensitive alterations in Harbor Oaks is unclear. The present situation indicates that the current owners have not for the most part been overly insensitive to the character of their homes and properties. Most renovation work in Harbor Oaks is sensitive and in keeping with the historic character of the district. The residents are proud of their homes and their historical value. Most of the residents are attempting to retain the significant elements of their homes. The result has been very little work which has marred the district or individual homes. :1 ;1 I 'I COMMERCIAL ENCROACHMENT FROM THE NORTH il I , ~I There is a fear among residents that commercial development may push south from downtown Clearwater. This would mainly occur in the area south of Turner Street. The Pinellas County Governmental complex contains courtrooms, the clerk of the circuit court, and other major county offices. These are used by attorneys, title firms, and other service companies which have business with the county government. The county itself, will inevitably grow and demand additional space. I I Presently, Pinellas County owns nearly all of the property north of Turner Street. There is a large area between the courthouse and Turner which is used for parking. The county does not have any present plans for the expansion of the complex to the south. However, a parking shortage in the area has created a need for the construction of a parking structure in the area. Current county plans are considering the land north of Turner Street as a good location for such a structure. I ,I I A parking structure north of Turner Street would have very little direct impact on Harbor Oaks in terms of the character of the neighborhood. It would have an effect on the area between Harbor Oaks and Turner Street. This area contains a number of churches, parking lots and bungalows. The bungalows are prime candidates for acquisition by attorneys and other service operations to support the government complex. This could eventually result in pressure for rezonings and possibly the demolition of many of the houses in the area to be replaced by office buildings. This potential is very small at present. In the immediate future, the renovation of the homes in this buffer ,I ,I I 58 I Jeffords St. HOHITA~ ...

I area would probably be the the greatest potential threat. As renovation work moves south, it could come right up to the edges of Harbor Oaks and create pressure on the neighborhood. Fortunately, most of the property along Druid is developed and thus the market values in Harbor Oaks would prevent the acquisitions of the homes along Druid for commercial purposes in the near future. I I EXPANSION OF MORTON F. PLANT HOSPITAL ON SOUTH I The residents of the Harbor Oaks are aware of the major presence of Morton F. Plant Hospital to the south. Hospitals, like governments, continue to expand and hardly ever stop new construction. This fact has created concern in the area that at some point the hospital would attempt to expand to the north and threaten Harbor Oaks. I I The consultants have talked with the Hospital planners and determined that they are aware of the value and character of Harbor Oaks. This is reflected in the fact that there are no present plans for any facilities expansion north of Jeffords other than the limited parking located on land already owned by the hospital. The hospital does not have an adopted master plan for expansion at present, but has assured the consultants that there has been no discussion of expansion towards Harbor Oaks. The fact that one board member of the hospital resides in Harbor Oaks and that several staff doctors live there will continue to provide some security to the neighborhood. I I I I Expansion of the facility to the north would seem to be impractical. The hospital does not even own an entire block along Jeffords and the possibility of acquisition of land and homes on Lotus Path would be very expensive. Such expansion would involve rezonings which would probably meet tremendous opposition and not comform to the present land use plan. I I There is an indirect threat from the hospital in the form of support services and doctor's offices along Jeffords. There are already several doctor's offices and a blood bank along this street. Their presence seems to have had little direct impact on Harbor Oaks up to now. The most immediate threat could be attempts to acquire vacant lots on Lotus Path for parking purposes and then seeking a variance for such uses. If this begins to happen, there could be erosion of property values along the street and possibly a breakdown in the integrity of the neighborhood. I I I COMMERCIAL ENCROACHMENT ALONG S. FT. HARRISON I South Fort Harrison is a strip comme~cial corridor. The blocks on the east end of Harbor Oaks contain several commercial properties and offices. The lots at the rear of these businesses are nearly all vacant. These could be acquired and converted to I 60 I I. I ancillary uses such as parking through zoning variance. If this occurs, there could be a continued creeping of such uses along all of the east-west streets in Harbor Oaks. This could result in the gradual lowering of property values as the homes adjacent to the parking or other uses become less desirable. The pressure for this to happen along South Fort Harrison will be ever present and will need close monitoring. I I DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE BAY I The only realistic potential for the development of large projects in Harbor Oaks is the area along the bayfront west of Druid Road. These estates contain large homes and expanses of landscaped area. As with the Roebling estate, these properties could become a candidate for future intensive development which could destroy the character of the large homes in the area. The current development regulations in the city and state law would possibly permit limited development in these areas. These developments would not have a major impact on the entire neighborhood, but they would have an impact on those homes on the bay. They would also increase traffic and destroy the vistas which currently exist on these properties. I I I I SOUTH WARD SCHOOL I South Ward School is a public school complex of 1906 and 1915 buildings which are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The buildings are an asset to the entire Clearwater community and is further enhanced by it's location near Harbor Oaks. This landmark helps maintain the historical environment of the district. The school has a viable educational facility. Recently the county school board considered the closing of the school. The argument is that the facility is substandard and is no longer eligible for state facilities funding. The closing of the school will remove one incentive to the maintenance of Harbor Oaks as a residential area and could adversely impact other in-town residential areas. I I I TRAFFIC ALONG DRUID ROAD I I Druid Road is currently a two lane road with moderate traffic. There is a well known concern among the residents that traffic along Druid has the potential for increasing. The road provides an indirect connection to the Belleair area and to Indian Rocks Beach Road. There is a potential for increased traffic along Druid Road as more and more motorists discover Druid Road as a defacto connector to Indian Rocks Beach Road in order to avoid the congestion along South Fort Harrison. I I The residents have also expressed concern used by ambulances for access to the hospital. are not supposed to use this route and reports that the street is These ambulances of actual usage by I 61 I I I ambulances are not numerous. A recent conversation with the hospital staff has indicated a willingness to pursue the prevention of the use of Druid for ambulance access. The current access is from Fort Harrison and not Druid Road. I TREES I Harbor Oaks is like many older neighborhoods which feature fully matured landscaping. The streets are lined with large oak trees and other ornamental plants. The trees create a soft canopy which adds to the setting of the large, stylish homes in the neighborhood. The neighborhood association is fully aware of the value of these trees and has continued a program of replanting in cooperation with the city. This program is important in order to provide for continued replacement of the aging trees which will inevitably die or be damaged causing their removal. I I I LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT ORDINANCE I In 1983, the City of Clearwater considered the adoption of an historic district ordinance in Harbor Oaks. This ordinance provided for limits on demolitions and review of all alterations and new construction in the neighborhood by an architectural review board. This proposal met with opposition from the residents and the neighborhood association. As stated above, there are some residents who oppose the limits of property rights brought on by such an ordinance, In addition, most opposed the ordinance since the review board did not provide for adequate representation from the neighborhood. The residents did not want "outsiders" telling them what they could and could not do to their homes. I I I I NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT I There has been repeated interest in the designation of the Harbor Oaks area as a National Register Historic district since the first survey work in 1975-1976. There has been a resurgence of interest in this action as late as 1983 when Gyneth Stanley sought the information which was necessary to obtain listing of the district in the National Register. There seems to be general support for such listing among the neighborhood residents. I I I ARCHAEOLOGY I Harbor Oaks was the site of a Seminole War Fort (Fort .Harrison) and an operating ante-bellum plantation. These activities have no doubt left archaeological remains in the area. Since fill activity took place around the old lake and in the area along the seawall, there is a chance that most of these sites have not been severely disturbed. To look at the present I 62 I I , 'I I streets and yards it is hard to believe that archaeological remains are present in the neighborhood, but experience shows that significant archaeological resources will survive urban development. It would seem that such is the case in Harbor Oaks. The extent or nature of such resources is unclear except that they could be associated with both occupation periods. There is also little known about the extent of aboriginal remains. The likelihood of the bluff being a site of aboriginal occupation is high and it should be assumed that there are remains of such activity in the neighborhood. !I 'I !I 'I I I 1 ,I ,I :1 1 1 I I I I 63 I -I I RECOMMENDATIONS I Harbor Oaks is not the typical neighborhood with which preservationists are used to dealing. It is a highly affluent and confined area which is not suffering from the same pressures which are usually seen in other neighborhoods. There are not large sections of decaying houses, transients, and extensive commercial encroachment. The houses are well maintained in general and the real estate market for houses in the area is very healthy. There is also a very well organized and active neighborhood association which can trace its origins to the early years of the subdivision. This association coordinates activities with city and insures that the neighborhood is maintained in its current attractive condition for the benefit of all of the citizens. I I I I Preservationists have been quick to grasp neat historic districts for inclusion in the local historic district ordinances. These ordinances were initially intended to provide additional protection for historic resources from insensitive renovation and demolition. They were an additional protection for an area where zoning and other forces were creating conditions which encouraged the demolition of the resources and their replacement with more dense development. Historic district ordinances also grew out of a period when there was very little to prevent the rezonings and the rapid increase in densities and uses in urban areas. I I I The existing growth management laws and local comprehensive plans have in some areas prevented the types of pressures which have necessitated the development of historic districts. We now have stronger tools, more enlightened city commissions, and activist residents who are determined to shape the growth and development of their communities. It is in this light and in the light of the above neighborhood analysis that the following recommendations were developed for Harbor Oaks: I I I I NOMINATE HARBOR OAKS TO THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES AS AN HISTORIC DISTRICT I The National Register of Historic Places provides recognition of the important cultural resources including historic districts. The Harbor Oaks Subdivision warrants such recognition as one of the earliest developments on the west coast of Florida with an infrastructure developed before lots were sold. It is also an important concentration of eclectic architecture which is significant in Pinellas County's development. . I I Listing of the area on the National Register will have no affect on the actions of private citizens as they affect their properties. Listing will provide limited protection from I 64 I I Federally funded, licensed or authorized projects. . I I DRUID ROAD SHOULD BE MAINTAINED AS A LOCAL STREET AND STRATEGIES SHOULD BE DEVELOPED IN THE TRANSPORTATION PLAN TO AVOID THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF THE INCREASED TRAFFIC ON THAT STREET. I Increased traffic and adjacent noise should be avoided along Druid Road. If increasing traffic along this road is not discouraged, eventually there will evolve pressure to four lane the artery and make it a major collector. This would divide the district and could eventually result in a declining desirability of the area for residential use. The evolution of traffic volume on this road will be gradual and may not be a function of any overt governmental planning. The objective of this recommendation is to insure that the new plan should make it a specific policy not to discourage the use of the road as an artery. I I I I THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SHOULD INCLUDE A STATEMENT TO MAKE IT POLICY NOT TO APPROVE THE GRANTING OF VARIANCES FOR SUPPORT USES ON VACANT LOTS ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF LOTUS PATH, ON THE EASTERN LOTS BEHIND THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY FACING SOUTH FORT HARRISON, AND THOSE PROPERTIES ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF DRUID ROAD. I I If the Comprehensive Plan will indeed prevent rezonings and other city action which is inconsistent with the policies set forth in the plan, then it is important that the city have a policy against the granting of variances in these areas. It is the potential for commercial encroachment on the north, east, and south of the neighborhood which creates the greatest threat to the area. This will provide more protection to the neighborhood than will any historic district because the city will not even foster situations which would threaten the future of the neighborhood. I 1,1 I I I AN ACTIVE TREE REPLANTING PROGRAM SHOULD BE CONTINUED AND INCREASED TO INSURE THE PERPETUATION OF THE IMPORTANT TREE CANOPY. The trees are an important element of the character of Harbor Oaks. They are not permanent fixtures and will need continued replacement to avoid major gaps in the canopy. The neighborhood and the city have had an ongoing program to undertake this activity, and it will need to be maintained. I I I I THE CITY, NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE MORTON F. PLANT HOSPITAL SHOULD JOINTLY WORK TOGETHER TO INSURE THAT ANY PLANS FOR THE AREA NORTH OF JEFFORDS, OWNED BY THE HOSPITAL, IS USED AND DEVELOPED IN SUCH A MANNER THAT IT DOES NOT THREATEN THE INTEGRITY OF THE SOUTH SIDE OF LOTUS PATH. 65 I neighborhood concerns such as development and the potential problems with ambulances along Druid Road are taken into consideration. They are very willing to cooperate and work with the neighborhood and should not be viewed in an adversarial manner. The upcoming revision of the comprehensive plan will provide a good opportunity for a joint planning effort to be accomplished in this area. It is also recommended that a representative of the hospital be invited to a neighborhood meeting to answer any questions which the neighborhood may have about the hospital's future plans or current activities. II I I I THE CITY OF CLEARWATER SHOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY DESIGNATE THE HARBOR OAKS NEIGHBORHOOD AS AN HISTORIC DISTRICT, BUT INSTEAD SHOULD FIRST ADOPT A CITYWIDE HISTORIC PRESERVATION ORDINANCE WITH PROVISIONS FOR THE DESIGNATION OF DISTRICTS AND LANDMARKS. I I There remains extensive opposition to the designation of Harbor Oaks as an historic district for various reasons. It is also evident from the analysis that there is really no great immediate need for the implementation of an historic district ordinance. I The City of Clearwater does have other historic resources and districts which might need protection under a historic district ordinance or landmark ordinance. It is advisable that the city have in place a historic commission which could recommend the designation of districts and landmarks under an ordinance. To that end, the recommendation is to pursue the adoption of an enabling ordinance which will set up a historic commission and set guidelines for the designation of historic districts and landmarks.

I I I I I I 87 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I APPENDIX 2 RECOMMENDED AMENDMENTS TO THE CLEARWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS 88 I I RECOMMENDED AMENDMENTS TO THE CLEARWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS I A portion of this project involved an analysis of the existing regulatory framework regarding land development in Clearwater. The Clearwater Comprehensive Plan and the Clearwater Land Development Regulations were examined to identify possible areas where language could be added or changed that would further the goals of neighborhood conservation in Harbor Oaks. I I The Comprehensive Plan plays a very important role in the City's and residents' efforts to protect the neighborhood. The Plan legally establishes the City's official policy with regard to the protection of residential areas from encroachment and in furthering the goals of historic preservation. All zoning regulations must be in conformance with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. All ordinances adopted by the City must also be consistent with the Plan. In addition, the various elements of the Plan must be internally consistent. I I I The Plan is comprehensive; it addresses the future needs and impacts of traffic circulation, future land uses and intensities, environmental factors such as coastal development or tree protection, and the planning of community institutions, such as hospitals. The protection and enhancement of the historic neighborhood of Harbor Oaks may be properly and effectively approached through the local comprehensive planning process. I I The historic preservation enabling ordinance proposed as part of this project serves a different but related purpose in protecting the neighborhood as well as city-wide historic resources. The enabling ordinance will permit the City to recognize and designate historic landmarks or historic districts in the City. Designated properties may be protected from demolition. The alteration of designated properties will be regulated by a review process designed to protect and enhance the historic character of the resource. I I I The historic preservation enabling ordinance will also serve as a public awareness tool to help educate the public of the value of Clearwater's architectural heritage. I The following recommended amendments are derived from the preceding analysis of issues facing the Harbor Oaks neighborhood. I 1. Clearwater Land Development Regulations. I Chapter 133. Subdivisions. It is possible that in the future, if enough land were assembled, that a re-subdivision could take place in Harbor Oaks, similar to the Spottis Wood project. This section of the code should be amended to require that the presence of and potential impact to historic and archeological resources should be a matter of consideration in the granting of subdivisions. I I 89 I I I Chapter 137.010. Site Plan Requirements. Many things are taken into consideration when a site plan is under review for a proposed development. The presence of historic or archeological resources should be a required item on site plans so that the project impact to these resources could be considered. I 2. Land Use Plan. In approaching the potential problem of encroachment on the south side of Lotus Path, the western lots of Ft. Harrison Rd. frontage, and the north side of Druid Road, a policy prohibiting the granting of variances for parking or other accessories, or more intensive uses would bar such non- residential encroachment from the area. I I The policy may be worded as follows: I I Where commercial or office uses abut residential historic districts, it shall be the policy of the City of Clearwater to deny variances or special exception requests that would permit parking lots, accessory uses, or more intensive uses within the residential area. I 3. Traffic Circulation Element. It is normal for a municipal government to upgrade the classification of roads and physically increase the capacity to accommodate increased traffic. However, in the case of Druid Road within the neighborhood, increasing the capacity of the road would be detrimental to the quality of life and character of the neighborhood. Therefore, a policy of maintaining the existing classification and not upgrading Druid Road to handle more traffic is recommended. I I The policy may be stated as follows: I I t shall be the pol'icy of the Ci ty of C learwa ter to maintain the existing classification of Druid Road within Harbor Oaks without upgrading to a higher volume classification.

Located on the west side of Mandalay Avenue between Baymont and Ambler Streets, the Hotel in its present Frame Vernacular appearance assimilates four states in the development of the hotel. Initially constructed as a vacation home circa 1918, the origi- nal Roux home typified the Arts and Crafts Bugalow in the English tradition, popularized by Voysey at the turn of the century. The home's sweeping gable roof, its uncluttered lines and ranges of wooden casement windows, as well as its generous proportions, were all charcteristic of this English vernacular architecture. A (sleeping) porch and carport encompassed three sides of the dark green, eight bedroom, two-story structure.l Although most of the exterior of the home is now concealed by the hotel's later additions, the first floor of the interior remains somewhat intact. The original fireplace, exposed posts and beams, window openings, and two-thirds panelled walls all remain as part of the present dining room.2 Casement windows on the east first and second floors of the home are still visible. Subsequent to this initial period, Mr. Roux added a three-story dormitory-type wing adjacent to the south end of the home.3 Though demolished in 1976, this wing was connected to the Roux home by a two-story hallway before the College took over the Hotel.4 The connector wing blended well with the home, using the same wooden casement windows and simple, uncluttered lines. With the innovations of Mr. Kelleher, the Clearwater Beach Hotel shifted to its second stage of development, one which involved substantial additions and slight modifications to the original structure. In 1936 the sleeping porch on the north side was enclosed with French casement windows: a new entrance on the east side was elaborated with a covered walkway.S With the construction of thirty eight room north wing in the latter part of 1937, the sleeping porch was relocated to the Gulf side of the home, and the carport was demolished.6 Attached directly to the Roux home on the North, the 130' x 38' three-and-one-half story wing was designed by Theodore Skinner, constructed by W.A. Walker, and completed in December 1937;7 "the finish of the new building will be simple and plain, to correspond with the pre- sint structure~8 Colonial Revival best describes the structure with its eight coupled dormers, overhanging eaves, and boxy proportions, but the wing also has distinctive dormer windows, wide interior corridors, and high-ceilinged guest rooms. A second phase in the second stage of the Hotel's development added eighteen more rooms to the second and third stories on STATE OF FLORIDA DfPARTMENT OF STATE DrVISlon of Arc:h,v~s.

Name CONTINUATION SHEET Present & Original Physical Appearance the east side of the connector wing as well as an oval sun room on the ' ground floor.9 Theodore Skinner and W.A. Walker implemented this phase of development also, incorporating the simple white weatherboard but . using tripled window placement instead of coupled.lO A third story of rooms was also added to the Roux home, interiorly connected to all additions but with a separate rooftop.ll The oval sun room extends East toward Mandalay from the 1940 room additions, and is Art Moderne in character: glass block transom, ribbon metal casement windows, brick In base. The east entrance wtih its oval-paned, half-panneled, double doors and its matching sidelights remains intact. In 1976, an attempt to blend the old with the new resulted in the addi- tion of new, white stucco lobby and office spaces on the south end of the Hotel and one-story kitchen and laundry facilities on the west end of the north wing.12 In addition, aluminum siding and window stripping now conceals the origianl heart-of-pine siding, eaves and rafters, and plain window details of the old Hotel.13 The porch on the Gulf side was extended for additional lounge space.14 Some replacement of win- dows and roof covering also occured in 1976. The portions of the current hotel complex for which inclusion in the Florida ~1aster Site File and eventual National Register designation is being sought are ai follows: 1) the remainder of the origianl two story home dating from 1918 and the remainder of the original one-story porch dating from the same time, which now serves as the main dining room, 2) the two-story 1920 addition directly east of this, along with the third story constructed above the addition in 1940, as well as the one- story oval sun-room also constructed in 1940, and 3) the 1937 three- story wing addition directly to the north of this. Refer to the accompanying map on the following continuation sheet for a visual representation of these portions of the hotel. The remainder of the hotel complex consists of a new entrance lobby,and hotel and efficiency units in out-lying buildings constructed between 1955 and 1976. While these are constructed of concrete block, they are relatively unobtru- sive and visually compatable in scale and placement, if not in style, to the older portions of the hotel. 935== STATE OF FLORIDA DFPARTMENT OF STATE DIvision of Archives, History and Records Management DS,HSP 3E 9-74 Site No. Site Name Clearwater Beach Hotel CONTINUATION SHEET -~~-- -~--.-.."- ~----- .--- -- ~ ._.':t:-X~-'~~"" . . h" :f:~',:,';:"o"""",," ) i \ . l 3-story wing add. 1937 Kitchen add. 1976 --------------------~ I I I I I I I o nal I 1 u>ry I d:h I Ci 1918 I I I I r-- __u_ ----.,- -- I I I I I I I I 1 I I I I I Original Z-story hoae Circa 1918 Now Main Dining Room Original ~FirePlace I 3-story add.

With the exceptions of one or two summers as a vacation home and a year and a half as the Florida Southern College quarters, the Clearwater Beach Hotel has continuously operated as hotel (since 1923). The oriented development of Clearwater Beach and altered its facilities in order to compete for seasonal and year-round occupancy required to stay in operation. Even though altered, enough of the original Roux home and the early Hotel additions survive to deem the Clearwater Beach Hotel a landmark signifi- cant in the development of the West Coast of Florida. Edwin Timanus Roux,a prominent lumberman from Bartow, was partner in the Clearwater Island Bridge Company which incorpo- rated in 1915 to "build, own, and operate hotels, bath houses, and places of amusement" and to lease and sell the above.l The Bridge Company built the first wooden bridge to link Clearwater and its beach in 19l6.L At that time, development on Clearwater Beach consisted of only a few dwellings, mainly used as summer homes for mainland residents. In 1917 Clearwater Beach was platted for the first time for development by the Bridge Com- pany.3 E.T. Roux bought lots 7,8 and 9 of Block 10 in February 1918.4 That same year, be built an eight bedroom, two-story summer home on the property for his family's private use.5 Not more than a block down the beach from the Roux home stood the Clearwater Beach Pavillion; owned and operated by the Bridge Company, the Pavillion served as the focus for beach recrea- tion pf Clearwater residents. After 1917, development on Clear- Water Beach began to flourish as the Bridge Company sold more and more lots, built roads to provide access to those lots, and as the bridge itself made the island and its beaches more accessible to all.6 Mr. Roux transformed his summer home into a hotel for local guests in 1920 by adding a three-story wooden wing, (demolished in 1976), adjacent to the house.7 Shortly after, in January 1921, the quarters of Florida Southern College at Sutherland burned and Mr. Roux, a trustee of the College, offered his hotel as temporary quarters.8 A two-story structure connecting the house with the three-story wing was constructed prior to the arrival of the College.9 Florida Southern College occupied the Clearwater Beach Hotel for a year and a half, (February 1921- June 1922),10 except for intermittent summers when the Facili- ties reverted back to a hotel for local residents.ll As a gesture of gratitude for his generosity, the library at Florida Southern College's Lakeland campus was named for Mr. Roux. This building is part of the Florida Southern College Architectural District, a collection of buildings designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, ~hich was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. 911 = = STATE OF FLORIDA DfPARTMENT OF STATE D,vIsIOn of Arc:hl\l~S.

The Hotel sought out and catered to the seasonal visitors who frequented the West Coast of Florida, and helped to foster Clearwater's chief industry, tourism. The growth of the tourist industry enhanced the demand for development on the island, coinciding with the Florida land boom. In partnership with E.T. Raux in the Clearwater Island Development Company, L.B. Skinner invested in the island and dredged and filled its northeastern half to twice the original size.13 Subsequently, Mandalay Subdivision emerged along with Mandalay Avenue, the main thoroughfare on the northern end of the island. Mr. Skinner's vision of the "Isle of a Thousand Palms", fell on hard times with the depression, but his deve- lopment was only a fore-shadowing of the future of the island.14 The Clearwater Beach Hotel witnessed and out-lived the land boom and the derpession, remaining the only hotel on the Beach. With the economic recovery in 1934, new construction resumed with the Carlouel Subdivi- sion at the northern end of the island, and it was never to be dormant again.lS William Russell and Goodman Kelleher, hotel men from Lake Placid, New York and Sanford, Florida took over the hotel management in September 1935 and immediately began "building and improving", simultaneous with the upswing in construction.16 Mr. Kelleher took out a second mortgage from Mr. Raux in November 1937 in order to add a 38 room wing on the north side of the Raux home.17 "Money spent on construction work in Clearwater in 1937 surpassed that of 1936" and "most of the construction work was done on the Beach"; "the largest single expenditure was for work done on the Clearwater Beach Hotel,..18 To sum up "bui lding in Clearwa ter reached its peak in 1926", but the "depression years brought a sharp slump in construction, which hit the bottom in 1933".19 Building showed a steady upward climb every year after 1933, and the Clearwater Beach Hotel moved with the times.20 In 1940 Frank Tack, then-president of the Chamber of Commerce, said, "Clearwater Beach is the one attraction the city has to sell to the nation's resort seekers" and the "pointed out the ultimate welfare of Clearwater was dependent on the welfare of the Beach".21 Along these lines, Goodman Kelleher expanded the Hotel to include 18 rooms (attached on the East to the connector wing) and an oval sun room, also on the East.22 With these additions in 1937 and 1940, the Raux home was assimilated into one large Hotel, attracting winter visitors and summer locals to the "health center of Florida".23 In January 1944 Mr. Kelleher leased the Clearwater Beach Hotel to Marius J. Pauchey, another experien~~d hotel man from New York City, for 10 years with an option to buy. The Hotel perpetuated itself with additional outlying cottages and low rise motel units erected on the property. In keeping with the development trend, commercial stores and other motels sprung up around the hotel, filling in the landscape of the island. 911== STATE OF FLORIDA DfPARTMENT OF STATE DIvIsion of Archives, Hlllory and Record. Manapement DSHSP,JE 9-74 Sita No. Site Name Clearwa ter Beacn-~- Hotel CONTINUATION SHEET Statement of Significance page 3 In 1953 "500 Mandalay" purchased the hotel from Kelleher and it was sub- sequently sold in 1955 to the Florida Clearwater Beach Hotel Company, the hotel's present owners.25 Further expansion to the property trans- formed the old hotel to a seasonal structure and made the motel surrounding it a year-round facility, as is the case today. As the nature of the tourist industry changed, the Clearwater Beach Hotel adapted its quarters and expanded to year-round motel units, but the winter traffic continues to fill the old Hotel each season. An inherent threat to the old Clearwater Beach Hotel stems from another trend in Clearwater Beach's development, the high-rise chain hotel. In 1976 the Hotel owners proposed to demolish the old structures and re- place them with a 10-story Quality Inn, but plans were halted by principal owner, Ed Hundter.L6 Not more than two blocks away from the Hotel, a Holiday Inn Convention Center has been constructed. The site of this Holiday Inn had for 40 years been occupied by the Seashell Hotel with its distinctive dome-shaped pavilion, which fell victim to the combined influences of time and insensitivity. The threat of demo- lition of the Hotel is still prevalent due to the high value of the property on which it is situated. The Clearwater Beach Hotel is the sote survivor of the Beach's histork, commercial in nature;it has adapted its facilities. It bears the mar s of the development of Clearwater Beach, a major Florida tourist attraction and the primary source of revenue in Clearwater, Florida. As the first hotel the Clearwater Beach Hotel holds a significant place as a recursor of the State's modern hotel industr. True to the words o Mr. Tack in 1940, t e tourism economy has remained the mainstay of the City's economy. Currently, Clearwater Beach has an inventory of over 5,000 hotel/motel units. Economic growth has meant increases in scale as well as numbers, with attributes such as charm and individu- ality being replaced by high-rise chain hotels. The importance of retainin visible links with the ast meets two separate needs:providing reSI ents wit a touchstone for t e contInuIty 0 local Istory an sharing this sense of continuity with the hundreds of thousands of people who visit Clearwater each year. 911== STATE OF FLORIDA DfPARTMENT OF STATE OlVI$IOn of ArchIves, Hlllorv end Records MenBlI"ment DSHSP3E 9.74 Site No. Site Neme Clearwater l5e3cn- Hotel CONTINUATION SHEET Statement of Significance page 4 FOOTNOTES - Statement of Significance 1.

It Is a significant architectural and historical resource for the entire city and the county. The neighborhood was established by an experienced New York real estate developer and featured Innovative land use controls and Infrastructure development which was not common for Florida real estate projects In that era. --- TEXT SUPPORTING SUMMARY OF PRESENT AND OHIGINAL, PHYSICAL APPEARANCE Harbor Oaks Is located in Clearwater, Florida In Plnellas County. The city Is the county seat. The neighborhood is located In the western portion of the city on Clearwater Harbor. It sits on a high bluff, reported to be the highest bluff In on the West Coast of Florida. The main business core of Clearwater Is to the north buffered by a few blocks of older residential homes. Fort Harrison Avenue, a major north/south artery Is located on the east with mixed residential and commercial uses on the lots along Fort Harrison and on the opposite side. On the south side of the neighborhood Is the Morton Plant Hospital Complex a dense and extensive series of buildings. Further to the south Is the famous Bel leview Biltmore Hotel In Bel leair, an 1897 resort hotel complex listed on the National Register of Historic Places. At the northwest corner of the neighborhood Is the Donald Roebllng Estate, also listed In the National Register of Historic Places. The character of the Harbor Oaks historic district is defined by several Important features such as architectural style, lot size and coverage, landscaping, scale and materials. It Is the combination of these elements which create the ambiance and quality of this Clearwater neighborhood. The streetscape of Harbor Oaks Is significant to the character of the neighborhood. The broad streets have wide parkways with sidewalks. Bay Avenue features an esplanade which creates an east-west division In the neighborhood. The streets are lined with palm and oak trees most of which were planted In 1915-16. Although there are overhead street lights, there Is a system of ground level street lights which date to the beginning of the neighborhood. The parkways have one of two types of Classical street lamps. It appears that some of the original classical poles have been replaced but this lighting feature has been lost In most communities In Florida and they are Important to the general character of the neighborhood. These features were a part of the original development and have become an Integral part of the neighborhood's special character. At the entrances of the neighborhood are massive brick pillars which have become landmarks to the neighborhood by designating the limits of this special area. The layout of the subdivision Is typical of most subdivisions. There are four east/west streets two blocks long and two north/south streets. West Druid Road runs along the north and curves around to the south. The lots vary In size but most are 60' x 130'. Along the west side on the bay are a series of large lots which vary from 400' to 500' and are 60' wide. Many of the houses are located on parcels which consist of at least two lots which form a frontage of from 80' to 130'. These lots consist of wither paired lots or a full lot and portions of adjacent lots. The houses generally are sited laterally on the lot with the wide portion parallel to the street. The I arge lot configurations a I lowed this to happen. The setbacks are uniform with the general front setback at about 25' from the sidewalk.

It Is important as one of the community's few neighborhoods which survives nearly Intact from the pre World War I I period. The area is significant to the areas of architecture and community planning. The eclectic styles present in the district are the best in historic Clearwater and are fine examples of several eclectic styles Including Mediterranean Revival, Colonial Revival and Bungalow. Harbor Oaks is significant since the developer, Donald Alvord, installed al I the public services and facilities along with a large esplanade at the center at a time In Florida history when planned communities did not feature these amenities. TEXT SUPPORTING SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Harbor Oaks portrays the senses of time and place present In pre-World War I I developing neighborhoods in Florida. The excel lent collection of eclectic styles coupled with broad parkways, street lights, sidewalks and large oak trees clearly represents the best of development from that period of Florida history. It Is also exceptional In Clearwater where most of the other neighborhoods which are contemporary to Harbor Oaks contain less significant buildings and generally suffer from Insensitive Intrusions, extensive alterations, and have fewer of the amenities of Harbor Oaks. Except for the commercial strip along St. Harrison, there are no Incompatible Intrusions Into the neighborhood thus preserving the important sense of place found there. The Harbor Oaks district has been home to the military, early Clearwater settlers, and some of America's leading Industrialists and literary figures. The earliest known use of the area was as a military post during the Second Seminole War. Fol lowing that conflict, the property was acquired by a series of owners who bul It homes and raised agricultural products on the land. In this century, the area became a major residential subdivision where leading national figures and important local individuals bul It homes. Fort Harrison was the first documented activity on the site of H~rbor Oaks. This installation was established April 7, 1841 as the headquarters for the Sixth Infantry. The main purpose of the fort was to provide protection for local settlers from possible Indian attack during the Second Seminole War. This was part of Colonel William J. Worth's strategy for defense of the settlers In Florida, which resulted In over one hundred forts being establ ished during this period. The installation c02sisted of a series of buildings located on the bluff west of Orange Avenue and northwest of Druid Road. (There is a plaque located on the wal I adjacent to the Donald Roebllng Estate on Druid Road which marks the general area of the fort.) The complex was constructed for five companies consisting of 300 men in April and May of 1841. The structures were log and consisted of at least a headquarters, officer's quarters, general quarters, jail, hospltal'3a mess hal I and a bakery. The stables were constructed of a pine wood frame and a palmetto thatched roof. DESCRIPTION CONTINUED P~E2 The character of the neighborhood is defined by these large lots, uniform setbacks and house configuration coupled with general house characteristics. Most homes in Harbor Oaks are two stories and either wood or stucco. The facades are usually three bay with a central entrance. Wide eaves supported by heavy modil lions are typical of the many houses in the neighborhood. These eaves are a feature which is derived from the Prairie School. It is not clear why so many of the houses in the neighborhood have this feature but is a common in various styles. Windows vary from wood double hung sash to casement, al I set in simple surrounds. The Colonial Revival is the major picturesque influence in Harbor Oaks. These homes generally date from 1915 through 1926. They are formal and balanced in design and plan. Many have central ~tair hal Is and formal room layouts. They generally have gable ends of brick, stone or wood. Smal I classical columns are found on smal I front porches. Stylized colonial frontispieces are often the only decorative feature of otherwise plain exteriors. The most common form in Harbor Oaks is the tiled, low pitched hip roof. This feature is emphasized by broad eaves supported by heavy modil lions (blocks). The main form of the Colonial Revival features a central entrance flanked by paired double hung sash windows with multiple I ights. Shutters were non-functional. Construction materials range from wood frame clapboard to hol low clay ti Ie and stucco. Tile is found more frequently in the 1920s. Exterior finishes are generally stucco with occasional examples of brick veneer. Architectural detai ling is limited to a simple classical frontispiece, boxed eaves, and simple Colonial detai Is on the interior. Examples may be found at 302 Druid Road (William Rehbaum house) and 312 Druid Road (McAnulty house). The bui Idings at 411 Druid Road (Randolf house) and 423 Druid Road (Beecher House) are variations on the Colonial Revival known as dutch Colonial featuring gambrel roofs and shed dormers. Several bungalows are found in Harbor Oaks. These are typically one story, frame structures with gabled roofs. Porches of one or two bays are covered by a gable roof projection and are supported by square brick or wood pedestals with fi I led balustrades. Windows are generally paired or grouped with 3/1 double hung sash, multiple/1 double hung sash, or wood casements. The houses have wide eaves, flat bargeboards with diamond shaped blocks resembling the ends of rafters, and large, elaborate brackets. Most of the bungalows have fireplaces with exterior chimneys, often with two smal I windows on either side of the fireplace. There are many types of this widespread housing form. A typology has been developed as the result of survey research, which is useful in describing the characteristics of each bungalow identified. In Harbor Oaks, the Type I II and Type IV are found. The Type I I I bungalow has a gable roof facing the street over an almost square form. The floor plans of these houses are generally open. A gable projects from the facade of the house over an open porch which is often screened. Bungalow details include heavy knee brackets at the eave, low-lying gables, and multiple windows. Excel lent examples of this type are found in Harbor Oaks at 301 Jasmine Avenue (Taver Bayly home) and 430 Druid Road (Price-Mi I ler home). The Type IV bungalow is a large one and one half story house. The gable is parallel to the street and incorporates a shed dormer on the broad roof slope. The veranda is inset under the main roof and supported by round wood posts. An example of this style is found at 416 Druid Road (J.A. Sheldon home). The Mediterranean Revival is a prominent style in Harbor Oaks. The homes generally feature the use of neo-classical details along with terra-cotta or tile detai ling. The use of decorative bans and architrave at doorways is seen in several examples. The roofs are hip with barrel tile. The houses feature terraces with classical balustrades surrounding them. The house at 423 Magnolia Street is a good example of this style. The Mission Style is more common in Harbor Oaks than the Mediterranean Revival style, even in larger homes. These are usually hol low clay tile clad in rough textured stucco. The bungalow floor plan is common. Roofs are either low sloped gables with barrel clay tiles or flat with raised parapets punctuated with smal I barrel tile pent roofs. The lack of external detai I is evident in these houses and seems less a function of the preference of the Mission than a part of the general movement among bui Iders toward the more simple and less decorative lines. One example of the Mission style is the Eichelberger house at 410 Jasmine Way. It features rounded arched DESCRIPTION CONTINUED PAGE 3 windows and a low, ti led roof. The Palsiano house at 419 Jasmine Way is also of interest. These houses feature characteristic arcades, flat roofs and balconies. The Tudor Revival and English Cottage styles are also part of the eclectic composition of the neighborhood. These structures are characterized by irregular or modified el I-shaped plans with steeply pitched intersecting gable roofs. Many have gabled dormers. The key elements in these houses is the use of brick in the construction with stucco and half-timbering in the gable ends. These houses reflect the loss of the eave in house construction. Their sizes range from massive and elaborately decorated structures to smal I cottages only hinting at the Tudor details. The Tudor Revival does not appear In Harbor Oaks until the 1920s and become more popular In the 1930s. The houses tend to be large and appear in residential neighborhoods with the other neighborhood styles of Colonial Revival and Mediterranean Revival. A good example of this style in Harbor Oaks is the Judd house at 310 Druid Road. The Roebling House is also a good example. The simple, clean stucco I ines and unbalanced roofline depart from the Norman features of the style. The Prairie School Style is seen more as an influence in many of the other eclectic styles than In its pure form with about two exceptions. The style in this district is characterized by a low hip roof with low hip dormers. Windows are paired and usually occur In a two bay arrangement or a three bay arrangement with a central bay incorporating a pivot or casement window. Porches are low hip roofed and single story. Roofs are supported by either tapered wood columns on brick pedestals or large square masonry pillars. Siding is usually clapboard, but shingles and stucco are also found. A pure example of the Prairie School style may be found in Harbor Oaks at 421 Druid Road. It was bui It in 1924, which is late for this style to occur. Harbor Oaks has been maintained as a residential neighborhood since it was first developed. The major changes in the district have included the construction of new homes in the 1950s through today on vacant lots. These lots were obviously historical features which have changed because new construction. However, most of the vacant areas and new houses are located outside the district on Lotus Path which is a part of the historical subdivision but was excluded from the district boundaries by the presence of of ranch style and eclectic revival homes from recent years. Other changes from the original appearance of the neighborhood are in the streets. They were originally concrete paved which has been replaced by asphalt as a part of normal maintenance. The properties in Harbor Oaks are for the most part in excel lent condition. This Is a high income neighborhood and the homes are not ignored or al lowed to decay much. The neighborhood was the probable site of Ft. Harrison of the Second Seminole War. It is unclear from available maps whether the fort extended to the north beyond the northwest corner of the neighborhood. There is also historical data to indicate that at least three houses were built and located in the same northwest quadrant of the district. The type of construction would indicate that there are indeed potential archaeological remains from this occupation. There has been no prehistoric archaeological work in the district and so nothing is known about the probable occurrence of this type site. The non-contributing bui Idings in Harbor Oaks are in general In keeping with the style and scale of the remainder of the resources. There are fifteen non-contributing sites in the total of sixty-three resources. The houses in general are concrete block ranch style homes with a few Neo-Colonlal styles. In April 1986, Florida Preservation Services was retained by the City of Clearwater to complete a survey of the Harbor Oaks and the surrounding area to identify buildings and sites which would contribute to the Harbor Oaks Historic District. The firm's responsibilities Included the preparation of a developmental history of the neighborhood, compi lation of a bibliography on Harbor Oaks history, architectural field work, research of potential sites, preparation of Florida Master Site Fi Ie Forms for submission to the Division of Historic Resources, and the preparation of a final report on the project including recommendations for a preservation plan, ordinance, and a nomination for the district. Contributing buildings for this survey consisted of those structures bui It before 1940 which were generally intact and represented the types of housing from the different periods in the neighborhood's DESCRIPTION CONTINUED P~E4 development. Initially it was thought that a larger area which Included several smal I subdivisions to the north should constitute the National Register district. It was determined that the developmental history of Harbor Oaks was distinguished from the remaining portions of Clearwater and so the decision was made to confine the district to the original boundaries of Harbor Oaks. This meant that the houses outside of the subdivisions would not be evaluated for their contributing significance but on their Individual significance. The boundary of the district Is defined by the historical construction patterns. As stated above the Initial survey work Indicated that the confines of the original subdivision were a minimum as a boundary since the surrounding homes do not relate in style and scale or historical significance to those in Harbor Oaks. It was further decided to exclude the area along Lotus Path since there were no contributing resources along that street. The same Is true along Ft. Harrison. The new commercial bui Idlngs located along that street do not contribute to the significance of the area.

It Is also exceptional in Clearwater where most of the other neighborhoods which are contemporary to Harbor Oaks contain less significant buildings and generally suffer from insensitive Intrusions, extensive alterations, and have fewer of the amenities of Harbor Oaks. Except for the commercial strip along St. Harrison, there are no incompatible intrusions into the neighborhood thus preserving the important sense of place found there. The Harbor Oaks district has been home to the military, early Clearwater settlers, and some of America's leading Industrialists and I iterary figures. The earliest known use of the area was as a military post during the Second Seminole War. Following that conflict, the property was acquired by a series of owners who built homes and raised agricultural products on the land.

The complex was constructed for five companies consisting of 300 men in Apri I and May of 1841. The structures were log and consisted of at least a headquarters, officer's quarters, general quarters, Jail, hospital, a mess hall and a bakery. The stables 3 were constructed of a pine wood frame and a palmetto thatched roof. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE CONTINUED PAGE 2 Troops stationed at the fort were involved in several smal I forays and campaigns. The location of the camp on the coast made it easy to transport troops from the post up and down the coast to hot spots. They ranged north to C~dar Keys where they were involved in inland campaigns and obtained rest at Cantonment Morgan on Sea Horse Key. The fort did not last long. In October 1841, it was abandoned. This may have been the result of damage from a hurricane ~hlch struck on October 19, 1841 and destroyed Fort Dulaney at the Caloosahatchee River to the south. The abandonment may also have been because the theater of the war had shifted to the south and threats to settlers in the area near Fort Harrison had lessened. The bluff at Harbor Oaks became a popular settlement spot in the early years of statehood. The first settler on the site was John Stevens. Stevens homesteaded the property in December 1842, and had his claim confirmed in 1848. He took over the buildings from the fort for his personal use. The homestead which Stevens owned6was located west of Fort Harrison Avenue between Jeffords Street on the south and Rogers Street on the north. Stevens occupied the old fort site until 1850 when he sold the property to John S. Taylor. Taylor was a planter from Brooksvil Ie who established his residence on the 165. It Is not clear from the record wheth7r he located his home In the portion of the acreage involving Harbor Oaks or whether he I ived at another site. Taylor raised cattle and hogs which ran loose in the surrounding woods and was assisted by at least four slaves In the operation of the farm on the bluff. He occupied the property until 1858 when he sold it to Nancy Campbel I who immediately sold the property to William T. Collier. Campbel I was9the grandmother of A. C. Turner who played a major part in the development of Clearwater north of Harbor Oaks. Collier establlsr8d his home In Harbor Oaks In 1859. He also managed cattle and hogs and raised vegetables and corn. Between 1859 and 1862 Collier remained on the farm and contlnuf~ his agricultural pursuits even as the Civi I War began. In 1862, Collier sold the farm to Wi I liam Lowe. Collier left the west coast and probably settled in New Symrna during the war. After the war he moved his fami Iy t~2Monroe County where he established a home and a famous coasting trade with his son based at Marco Island. There is no record of the act!vities of the next two owners of Harbor Oaks. Wi I Ilam Lowe sold the property in 1865 to William Kemp. Kemp remained unti I 1874 when he sold it to Wi I Ilam F. and Green F. Spurlin.14 No records can be found of Kemp's activities although it must be assumed that he operated much as his predecessors running cattle and growing subsistence crops. William F. and Green F. Spurlin of Wilcox County, Alabama developed the property into a home. The partners started in 1874 by probably building a home on the property. It is also possible that they planted an orange grove during this period. 5 Their grove and house also apPfgr on an 1886 chart of Tampa Bay which indicates that the house was at the southwest corner of Harbor Oaks. The Spurlins sold the property to Augustus B. Ewing and David B. Gould of St. Louis, Missouri in 1887. Ewing and Gould built several houf;s and continued the development of the orange grove. They constructed a rail fence around their property. These two St. Louis families probably maintained the property as a winter home and a producing grove which was a common practice among many northern businessmen. David B. Gould died in the 1890s and his heirs continued to operate the 9~ove with the Ewings. In 1904, the Gould heirs and the Ewings formed the Ft. Harrison Orange Grove Company. This company replaced the rai I fence with a barbed wire fence. There was also a la,~e gate constructed at the entrance to the grove which had shingle roof supported by large square posts. In the early 1880s Clearwater was Isolated with the major access by boat from Cedar Key and Key West but it did not remain that way. Across the bay in Tampa, Henry B. Plant completed the South Florida Railroad to that town in 1886. bn 1888 the Orange Belt Rai Iroad was completed to Clearwater from Oakland in Orange County by Peter A. Demens.2 This connection furnished easy access to transportation encouraging the rapid expansion of the citrus industry in the area. This was surely why it Is easy to understand that the Ewing/Gould grove was one of many located in the Clearwater at the time. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE CONTINUED PAGE 3 The 1880s was the time when Clearwater expanded and became a town. It had been a post office stop since 1859, but remained a cluster of smal I farms. In 1880, the first hotel was bul It and a second was constructed In 1885. These brought tourists and more settlers. Clearwater had severa~ plats of lots for a town laid out by 1887, Including those of A. O. Turner just to ~2e north of Harbor Oaks. 1 In 1891, Clearwater was Incorporated and the limits Included Harbor Oaks. To the south of Harbor Oaks was a tract of land which Henry B. Plant acquired In the 1890s. He developed the Hotel Bel Ivlew which opened In the 1897 after his death. The project also Included the development of a model town which did not get completely realized until 1925. The amenities included a bicycle race track, golf course and smal I private cottages and attracted wealthy industrialists, socialites, financiers, and railroad executives. This hotel brought Increased attention to the small community of Clearwater and eventually Harbor Oaks. Clearwater was not the largest city In Pinel las County. It was a smal I community with a population of 300 in 1895 and 343 In 1900. It had grown to 1,171 by 1910. The central business district was to the north of the Gould Grove along Cleveland Street between Fort Harrison Avenue and Osceola Street. Fort Harrison was a dirt road which extended south of town on the east of the grove. Large residences dotted the bluff overlooking Clearwater Bay where large homes were built with a multitude of docks projecting Into the bay. The area behind these houses and to the east of town contained many orange groves which became the largest portion of the peninsula's Industry. Plnellas County was created In 1912 from the western peninsula of HI I Isborough County. After some fierce fighting, Clearwater became the county seat. The first courthouse was constructed near Cleveland Street In 1912. Residential sections grew in a helter-skelter fashion north and south of the business district as smal I parcels were divided and sold for house lots. A. C. Turner was typical of the men who sold land In this way. He developed several parcels just north of the Gould Grove around Turner Street. The county also ~~I It new schools. One replaced the 1906 South Ward School northeast of the grove on Fort Harrison Avenue. When the city became the county seat Its Infrastructure and amenities were few. EI~~trlclty and water were furnished to the central business district by J. G. McClung's Clearwater Ice Plant. The streets Including Fort Harrison Avenue were dirt with parkways which were generally ful I of weeds and without curbs except In the downtown. Most yards were fenced to prevent animals from getting In as much as to prevent their getting out. A long wooden pier projected from the end of Cleveland Street where many dances and events took place. Community awareness of the need for public improvements and facilities became widespread In Florida during the 1910s. Bond Issues passed throughout Florida for roads, schools, uti Iltles, and libraries. Clearwater began major road Improvements after a bond Issue In 1912. Most of the major roads were bricked and curbed during the decade. The uti Iltles were extended to r~5identlal areas. To the south of the old Gould Grove the Morton F. Plant Hospital was constructed In 1915. The first awareness of the need for community planning also began to appear In the 1910s. Plnellas County retained the Frederick Law Olmstead firm to develop the first Pinel las County master plan. This plan called for road Improvements, new schools and managed growth. It strongly urged the acq~~sltlon of waterfront property by the county for protection of the bay and to develop parks for the community. It was this developing climate of the respect for growth management and facilities Improvement that the community of Harbor Oaks came to be. In 1910 events took place which would result In the development of Clearwater's first and exclusive modern subdivision, Harbor Oaks. Dean Alvord was a major developer In New York City and on Long Island. He started out working with several number of Investors who asked him to go to New York and Invest In r~91 estate for them. At first he became involved In the renovation of older homes In Garden City, Long Island. His first ~Svelopment project involved the Roslyn Subdivision where he established his own home on a thirty acre tract. His other projects Included the development of several sections in Brooklyn Including Prospect Park STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE CONTINUED PAGE 4 ----I I I 29 South and Flatbush. On Long Island he developed Bel Ie Terre and Dean Alvord Estates. Most of Alvord's projects were for upper class homes which brought him and his son Donald Into close contact with wealthy Industrial ists, financiers, and attorneys. Like many of his fel low New Yorkers, Alvord was Interested In Florida. He visited the state on several occasions. At one point ~8 became acquainted with Henry Flagler who took him to Miami to get advice on real estate development there. After much careful examination Alvord ~Tclded to establish a permanent winter home In the state and around 1910 or 1911 he decided on Clearwater. E. H. Coachman had recently purchased the grove from the Ft. Harrison Orange Grove Co~~any and had just sold the fruit. Alvord did not want al I the I and, but on I y enough to bu II g3h Is winter home. Coachman wou I d not se II I tin sma II parts and so A I vord acquired the entire property. Dean Alvord constructed one of the first homes (800 Druid Road) In Harbor Oaks just ~~st the point where Druid Road turns south. This house was a simple Colonial Revival stucco structure. Alvord decided to undertake the development of an exclusive neighborhood designed to attract wealthy residents and protect the values of the property which was purchased. Sophisticated development was not the norm In Florida during the 1910s. Most developers merely sold surveyed land with graded roads and without amenities such as paved streets, curbs, sewer and water. This was, however, the age In Florida of rapid expansion of public facilities as residents became more sophisticated and demanded more services for their money. Promoters found that qualitative features such as roads, sewers, water and landscaping could be promoted to discriminating buyers who recognized the value of such Improvements. Alvord was used to Instal ling such facilities In his urban projects In New York and set out to develop his new subdivision complete with roads and sewers. He turned the land and the project over to his son Donald who was young but becoming an astute real estate salesman. The subdivision was developed out of land which Included waterfront, an orange grove and a marshy pond. Druid Road, named for t~5 wel I known English religious cult, was named by Dean Alvord and became the first major Improve~~nt. The road was graded and paved. These Included curbs, gutters, pavement, and sidewalks of concrete. Brick pillars were Instal led at several entrances to the project. A complete sewer system was Installed which drained Into a large septic tank system at the southwest corner of the development. The overflow originally ran Into the bay. At some point, probably in the 1920s a tennis court was adg7d to the neighborhood's amenities near the corner of Bay Avenue and Magnolia Drive. It was later removed. Underground utilities were installed along the streets in 1915 by J. G. McClung the owner of the Clearwater Ice Plant which supplied electric power to the city. The underground utilities were mainly buried cable which supplied power to 27 street lights. There was no street front electrical wiring. The electricity for the lots was placed at the rear lot lines and originally instal led on power poles painted green. These I ines went underground In conduit where they crossed the main roads. Alvord also acquired oaks and palms which were set out along the parkways. A channel was dredged to the pier at the end of Magnolia Avenue and the spoil was used to fill behind a bulkhead along the shore. The fil I was also used to fi I I a marshy area which probably contained a spring near the southeast part of the subdivision. Alvord had to fill the area three times before the streets were usable in that area. This marsh and smal 13~ake was the location of the drowning of one of E. H. Coachman's sons before the fl I ling work was complete. The development was opened by January 1914. Several large advertisements in the Tampa Tribune, Clearwater Sun and the St. Petersburg Times called Harbor Oaks liThe Riviera of the Sunny South" and the "finest shore development on the We3~ coast of Florida." The description indicated that portions of the development were completed by 1914. This was probably the portion along Druid Road and Jasmine Way and Magnolia Drive since most of the houses on these streets date from that period. Alvord offered a relatively new and innovative approach to development in Florida, the deed restriction. Such restrictions were the precursor of zoning and land use controls in a period before governments attempted to institute them through their police powers. The need for such controls became obvious in rapidly developing communities. Restrictions were needed to prevent residential areas from becoming commercial with the resulting construction of incompatible new structures which, in those days would have reduced property values. The restrictions included permitted uses, setbacks, and cost of house bui It. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE CONTINUED PAGE 5 The advertisements for the project made a point of lot the lot restrictions. P~8spects were promised that the restrictions constituted "fully one third the value of residence property." An October 1914 advertisement noted that several new residents had ~Ten forced from other areas of Clearwater because due of a lack of control over the adjacent uses of property. The arrangement of the lots and their purchase price were fairly typical of the period. The lots were 60' wide by 130' deep except for the large lots along the west side of Druid Road which were 400' deep. These lots were platted to the water and Included a drop In elevation of twenty five feet at the ~~uff. Terms of purchase were twenty percent down and ten percent semi annually with six per cent interest. Harbor Oaks was not the largest or most active of the developments In the county but It was exclusive and attracted many well known Individuals. The first houses In the neighborhood were completed by 1915. Most of them were homes for current residents. Taver Bayly (~Sl Jasmine Way), a local citrus man and banker, bul It a bungalow at the corner of Druid Road and Jasmine Way. This bungalow became a prominent feature In Alvord's promotional material on the neighborhood. John B. Lyon, a lumberman bul It a home at 1005 Druid Road which was 44 also featured in the local advertisements. Sewel I Ford (803 Druid Road), a nationally famous writer, constructed a home In the project and called It Casa de Sa25Antonlo. He was the first of several nationally known figures who established winter homes in Harbor Oaks. In all, seven houses were built during the first years of the development. The development of Harbor Oaks continued at a slow pace over the fol lowing ten years. A !~w homes were bui It each year with 1918 being a busy one when five homes were bui It by local residents. It was not unti I the peak of the Florida Boom in 1925 that many of the better known residents bui It homes In Harbor Oaks. Many of those who bought lots in Harbor Oaks were acquaintances of the Alvords. Dean Alvord and his son circulated in wealthy circles in the New York area and were close friends with many financiers and Industrialists. These contacts produced prospects for their many projects including Harbor Oaks. For example, Edmund Lyons who purchased the original Alvord house on Druid Road was a close friend of Dean Alvord. The family also became close friends with the Browns and the Judds along Druid Road. In a recent Interview, Donald Alvord admitted that he sold many lots to people who he knew and that these were the best clients for such a development as Harbor Oaks. Today, any real estate salesman w~~ld agree that friends and word of mouth produce the best prospects and so it obviously did seventy years ago. Clearwater became a part of the rapid real estate land boom In Florida In the 1920s. In 1920 there were 2,247 residents and by 1925 there were 5,004 In the city. The large citrus Industry in the area was damaged by a hurricane in 1921. Many of the owners replaced their groves with subdivisions as they moved out to cash In on the fever of real estate buying occurring throughout the state during the decade. Large subdivisions grew everywhere with elaborate advertising and promotion. L. B. Skinner developed Mandalay on Clearwater Beach in 1922, the Fort Harrison Hotel was finished in 1926. There was ~g extensive development project in Belleair to the south as well as areas a II a long the southern peninsu I a. By early 1925 only twenty lots were left unsold in Harbor Oaks.49 These were mainly along Magnolia and Lotus Path. During the winter and spring of 1925 Alvord ran nearly dally advertisements In the Clearwater Evening Sun promoting the remaining lots. He used new advertisements at least three times a week. Many of them featured photographs of the houses of prominent residents. Alvord was using his wel I established real estate company to promote the development. He was also involved In several other projects In Clearwater and on Clearwater Beach. His firm operat58 as a broker for other properties in the community and at one point operated an office in St. Petersburg. Alvord also owned a gladlolas farm which was eventually developed 51 Into a subdivision known as Skycrest. The advertising campaigns were directed at obvious markets. In the winter it was that winter tourist who was In the mood for a permanent winter residence. The advertisements promoted the fact the bUY5~s of Harbor Oaks lots could live near "America's best known men and women in literature, art, and finance." The spring campaign was directed at local buyers. Several advertisements featured local residents wh~3Purchased lots and bui It homes to emphasize that "prominent" local men had chos~n Harbor Oaks for their home. The campaign was STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE CONTINUED PAGE 6 successful and by the fal I only nine lots were left and by early 1927 the project had been sold out. Donald Alvord was also Involved In building several speculative houses In the subdivision. In 1925 he had three houses on Magnolia Drive under construction and for sale. These houses Included Los Robles (429 Magnolia Drive) which was designed by Franklin O. Adams of Tampa'5lasa Del Mar (423 Magnolia Drive) was another of the mission style houses which he built on the street. These two houses were featured In several advertisements which offered the homes for sale as wel I as several newspaper articles. It Is probably safe to assume that other houses were bul It this way. Alvord himself said that his fa!ger had a habit of building houses and I iving In them a few years and sel ling it and bui Iding another one. Robert S. Brown acquired the original Alvord Estate during the decade. He added extensive wings to the north and south of the main house, changed the configuration of the original windows and made extensive alterations to the Inside. Elaborate gardens were constructed down the bluff. He constructed a large bel I tower and Instal led an extensive organ system in the bui Idlng. In 1929 another estate ws completed nearby which rivaled the Brown estate. This large and Imposing Tudor style house was bui It for Donald Roebl ing who was from New York City. He became an Important engineer, phi lanthropist and Inventor. He would ~gter become famous for his Alligator amphibious vehicle which he designed and built during World War II. Florida was a destination of many of America's leading Individuals In the 1920s. Large winter homes were constructed in Harbor Oaks by prominent figures, particularly along Magnolia Drive. Important persons included James Studebaker, I II (413 Magnolia Drive), a banker and member of the famous automaker's family; Robert Ingersal I (322 Magnol ia Drive), founder of the machinery firm which was predecessor to the Ingersal I/Rand Corporation; and Charles Ebbetts (301 Druid Road), owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers. It is likely that several of these individuals knew Alvord from New York and could explain their presence in the town. Another writer, Rex Beach, shared a home with A. B. Crews for several years In the 1920s. Prominent local individuals also bui It homes In Harbor Oaks in the 1920s. These included M. A. McMullen (302 Druid Road) who was circuit judge and son of a pioneer families of the area. W. F. Rehbaum (302 Druid Road), who owned West Coast Hardware and was Instrumental In developing packaged mal I order fruit, bul It a home on Druid Road. Two local builders were active In the neighborhood. Robert Thompson bul It several homes in the neighborhoods in the 1930s and late 1920s. G. A. Eichelberger (410 Jasmine Way) bul It his own home on Jasmine Way and was Alvord's official but Ider. The neighborhood became a tightly knit community which was structured to Insure the maintenance of the special qualities of the subdivision. Alvord lead the way by Insuring that each homeowner would participate In the continued maintenance of the streets and landscaping. On February 17, 1920'5~he Harbor Oaks Association was formed by the residents pursuant to the requirement of their deeds. The association functioned as a neighborhood owners association. There were mandatory assessments which were used to pay for the maintenance of the streets, curbs, plants and trees. This organization was formed to perform these activities without the help of the city. In most communities, the city was not Involved in continued maintenance of amenities. This mechanism became popular as a sales tool and provided security to the Investments of the residents. This approach to development became prominent in the 1920s but in 1914, in Florida was stll I rare and makes the organization and development of Harbor Oaks significant. This association continues to operate today and works to maintain the character of the neighborhood. It may be one of the oldest neighborhood associations in Florida. The organization of the association provided for an extremely representative form of government. The nine member board was elected so that each street in Harbor Oaks was represented. Standing committees were established for finance, police and fire protection, streets and sidewalks, taxation, public utilities, and law. The board had ~ge authority to set yearly assessments which were used to maintain the roads and parkways in the neighborhood. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE CONTINUED PAGE 7 In establishing Its purpose, the association sought to perpetuate the qualities which made Harbor Oaks attractive to its first residents. The by-laws stated that the benefits of the association were derived from: The charm of Harbor Oaks, which is lacking in many residential districts of even larger cities I ies in the uniformity of planting and the continued upkeep of the plants, palms, trees, and parks. General municipal and state taxation has never been sufficient to properly plant much less continually keep up the street parkway In front of each home -- hence the usual heterogenous growth of weeds and grass found there. Harbor Oaks funds are expended entirely upon the street parkways In front of the bui Idlng line of each ~~ot and the entire time of a gardner employed yearly by the Association is necessary for this work. The association continues in effect today. It is probably one of the oldest neighborhood associations in Florida. Although the deed restrictions including the mandatory assessments have long since expired, the purpose of the association Is the same. Harbor Oaks has continued to be a wel I maintained, quality neighborhood. The original street lamps, parkways and public areas are generally intact. This is much to the credit of the association which works hard to represent the community before the city on neighborhood problems and needs. There are several exceptional homes in Harbor Oaks which are landmark examples of architecture in their own right. The Harrison/Plunket House (205 Magnolia Drive) and the Dean Alvord House (208 Magnolia Drive) are exceptional examples of the Mediterranean Revival style. Both houses feature elegant detailing such as quions, elaborate entrance architraves, and large terraces. Both houses anchor the west end of Magnolia Drive. The Bowen House (421 Druid Road) is an exceptional example of the Prairie School. The use of the broad, low hip roof and the rectilinear pilasters are the main features of this house. It appears that this structure may have been a one of a kind design and not derived from popular plan books. Of course the Alvord/Brown House (802 Druid Road) is an interesting transformation. Brown created a magnificent eclectic home from the simple Prairie School influenced home of Dean Alvord. Eventually Brown improved the gardens and added a campanile tower on the water front. The Price House (301 Lotus Path) Is an Interesting combination of Classical and Prairie School designs. The house bears the typical broad eaves with modil lions. It also Incorporates the distinctive belt course between the first and second floors which was so common to the Prairie School. Yet it also incorporates classical balustrades and classical detal Is on at the entrance. Preservation activities in Clearwater and Harbor Oaks began with a private effort. In 1976 an Volunteers In Preservation was formed to undertake a survey of much of the area In central Pinel las County, particularly In Clearwater. The group was supported by assistance from the Division of Archives, History and Records Management through an historic sites specialist. The project identified fourteen bui Idlngs considered eligible for the Florida Master Site Fi les and a recommendation was made to pursue the development of an historic district. A local survey form was developed for the project and research on each house In the neighborhood was collected by several volunteers. Jan McNutt undertook the detai led work of tracing tax rol I Information on the various properties. No final Florida Master Site FI Ie forms were ever submitted for this project. The City of Clearwater first adopted an Historic Preservation Element for its Comprehensive Plan In 1979 and revised the plan In 1984. This plan recognized the significance of Harbor Oaks as a neighborhood which contained the "finest examples of period architecture and material use." It recommended the designation of the community as an historic district designated under a local historic district ordinance. As a fol low-up to the plan, the City Planning staff proposed an ordinance to designate the area as an historic district. This ordinance included the appointment of an architectural review board. The proposal met with neighborhood opposition and it was never brought before the City Commission. The city later decided to seek a grant from the Division of Historical Resources to fund a survey of Harbor Oaks to prepare a proposal for the nomination of the area to the National Register of Historic Resources. The project was also Intended to prepare an ordinance which would be acceptable to the neighborhood and which would provide for recognition and protection of the resources in the neighborhood. In 1985, the city was awarded this grant to undertake the survey. FOOTNOTES 1. Don Sheppard. "Historic Sketch of Fort Harrison" (Paper for HY216, University of South Florida, 1967), p.l. 2.

B Longwood, Fl 32779 RE: NORTH ACCESS TO OUTPARCELS PARK PLACE OFFICE PARK CLEARWATER, FLORIDA Dear Lyder: We have reviewed your plans to construct three restaurants on Gulf To Bay Boulevard, particularly the planned north access to your outparcels through our parking lots, and am wr i ting to you to express the concern of the owners of Park Place. Upon review of the development plan, and the existing easements, we are unable to find any reference to an easement which allows for cross access through our parking lots and the restaurants. We are not opposed to your development plan, however, we feel strongly that it is not in the best interest of the office park to allow access through our parking area which is designated as private property. To deter access by trucks and other vehicles, we will be erecting landscaped barricades at the three proposed access points in the near future. Lyder, we have no desire to create any conflicts with you regarding the development of your property, but we feel that it is in the best interest of Park Place and its tenants to create a permanent buffer. I hope you understand our position in this matter. Respectfully Yours, CLINTON INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC. ~~ Roxanne M.

GUIDELINES ENVIRONMENTAL AREA I ENVIRONMENTAL AREA II Environmentally sensitive lands have been designated in order to identify those portions of the County that either perform al important environmental function in their natural state; serve as, or enhance a natural resource; and/or are characterized by a natural hazard to development. There are numerous public benefits associated with the protection of these areas, including: flooQstorage, water quality protection, shoreline stabilization, drought protection, and wildlifehabitat (wetlands); groundwater quality and quantity protection (aquifer recharge); M public safety (flood hazard areas). RECOMMENDED DEVELOPMENT DENSITIES WITHIN ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE LANDS ARE GOVERNED BY THE ENVIRONMENTAL AREA DESIGNATION RATHER THAN THOSE OF THE PARENT SECTOR. ' NOTE: As these maps are summaries of tbe growth management guide and atlas, use for planning purposes only. For site design{sife-specificinformation is required. Environmental Area I: Very sensitive lands that not only provide many public benefits in their natural state, but also pose numerous difficulties to development. Residential den~~ies are recommended at no more than one (1) unit per ten (10) acres except in the Prime Aquifer Recharge Areas, where up to one (1) unit per acre can be allowed, provided/he aquifer recharge function is protected. Where more than ten (10) acres are involved,development proposals shall utilize the PUD concept or a binding concept plan. In certain circumstances when there is an overriding public benefit derived from the preservation, restoration, and/or enhancement of those natural functions which define and make u? the Environmental Area I designation, a transfer of density at the rate of no more thanone (1) unit per acre may be permitted, No more than fifty percent (50%) of any Envir!nmental Area I should be permitted to be residentially developed in any manner exce~t to provide an overriding public benefit, Environmental Area I includes the following;, . Lower Water's Edge Wetlands: Wetlald and beach areasof the rivers, creeks and lagoons, extending from the water's edge landward to the upland limit of the coastal wetlands vegetation, . . Upland Water's Edge Wetlands: Frlshwater wetlands adjacent to significant water bodies, which are predominant!l in the St. Johns Marsh. . Prime Aquifer Recharge Areas: A Cliss I recharge area that is either presently recharging aquifers being utilized as ~ublic drinking water supplies, or has the proper combination of elevation and slils so as to potentially serve this purpose, . The Twenty-Five Year Flood Hazard Ana: Defined as the area in which flooding is expected at least once every twenty-fhe years. ty .,;~)i' I Environmental Area II: Sensitive lands requiring some protection, f:r.'j',. but where development densUes or density transfers greater than those above may be permitted. Residential developnent in these areas should involve large lots, but should not exceed two (2) dwelling unitl/acre, Environmental Area II includes the following: * . Perched Wetlands: Wetlands which due to soil, geological and hydrologic conditions, have a seasonal high waer table at the surface, are continuously flooded during part of the year, and ;upport the growth of wetland vegetation, Development within these areas shoulc be prohibited and filling minimized, · The Twenty-Five to One Hundred Year flood Hazard Area: That portion of the one hundred year floodplain not lying withh the twenty-five year floodplain. . Class I Aquifer Recharge Areas: Ar~s that exhibit excellent conditions for the recharge of the surficial aquifer, such as areas with highly permeable soils, and elevation sufficient to hold enough wat\r so as to serve as a potable water source, NOTE: *For a more complete discussiol of these area guidelines, reference the Conservation/Coastal Zone Protection and Future Land Use Elements of the Brevard County Comprehensive Plan. ~ Airport Noise Contours: The airport noise contour lines represent ~ the application of one of fOH noise standards methodologies: Noise Exposure Forecast (NEF); Day/Night AverageSound Level (Ldn); Composite Noise Rating (CNR); and Community Noise Equivalent L~el (CNEL), Development of lands located within these contours are regulated by the afo'ementioned noise standards. Application of these standards will establish the type and intensity of land use development that is compatible with individual airport noise chara,teristics, Reference the Ports, Aviation and Related Facilities Element for details of noise standards application, /' "c~~,.
