Overview

About Adams Addition

Adams Addition is the county’s plat for Dunbar Road and the south side of Wells Road, the last in-town streets before the North End. A cluster of its houses dates to the 1910s and 1920s, and the oldest on the roll was finished in 1915.

The county roll lists 54 parcels under Adams Addition: 52 single-family houses and 1 vacant lot. Houses here run large, from about 3,100 to 8,700 square feet.

Building came in two waves on the roll: the 1910s and 1920s, and the 1980s through today. Older houses here can fall under the town’s landmark rules, which we check for a specific home.

The plat sits at the north edge of what brokers call In-Town, from Worth Avenue to Wells Road; the North End starts across Wells Road. Both are brokerage terms, not official town boundaries. Royal Poinciana Way and the Flagler Museum are a short drive or a long walk south.
