Overview

About Marina Historic District

The Marina Historic District is the old neighborhood around the City Marina, on the Intracoastal just south of East Atlantic Avenue. The Delray Beach Historical Society dates most of its buildings to 1922 through 1943.

It is bounded by East Atlantic Avenue on the north, SE 4th Street on the south, SE 7th Avenue on the west and the Intracoastal Waterway on the east. The styles run from Mediterranean and Mission Revival to Monterey, Florida cottages and Art Moderne, with work by the architects Gustav Maas, Sam Ogren Sr. and John Volk.

The Historical Society names The Anchorage and the Boyd Building on East Atlantic Avenue among its buildings. The city designated it a local historic district in 1988, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 2, 2014.

It is inside the City of Delray Beach, a few blocks from the bridge to the beach. Because it is a local historic district, exterior changes, additions and demolition go through the city’s historic review; we confirm what applies for a specific home.
