Overview

About Del-Ida Park Historic District

Del-Ida Park was platted in 1923 as one of Delray Beach’s first planned developments, and it still looks it. Its diagonal streets break the city grid, with curving corners, triangular blocks and small pie-shaped parks.

The district runs from NE 4th Street to NE 8th Street (George Bush Boulevard), with Swinton Avenue on the west and the Florida East Coast Railway and NE 3rd Avenue on the east, just north of downtown and Old School Square. It is inside the City of Delray Beach, which designated it a local historic district in 1988.

Most of its buildings went up from the 1920s through the 1940s in the Mediterranean Revival, Mission Revival, Minimal Traditional and frame vernacular styles, with bungalows and Craftsman cottages mixed in, according to the state historical marker and the Delray Beach Historical Society. Ranch and contemporary houses followed in the 1950s and 1960s.

Most parcels are single-family homes, with some small apartment and office buildings along the edges. Because it is a city historic district, exterior work and new construction go through the city’s historic preservation review; we confirm what applies to a specific property.
