7. Completion of Work. An application must complete all work within 30 months following
the date of approval by the city commission. An approval for ad valorem tax exemption
shall expire if the building permit for the approved work is not issued within the
timeframes specified under the corresponding certificate of appropriateness, or if a full
building permit issued for the approved work should expire or become null and void, for
any reason. The approval for ad valorem tax exemption shall be suspended if such
permit is issued but the property owner has not submitted a final request for review of
completed work within 30 months following the date of approval by the city commission.
The Historic Preservation Board, for good cause shown, may extend the time for
completion of a substantial improvement for a period not to exceed two years from the
completion date in the original approval by the city commission, or such lesser time as
may be prescribed by the board.
8. Review of Completed Work. The applicant shall submit a request for Review of
Completed Work to the Planning Department no Tess than 30 calendar days prior to the
effective date of expiration of approval by the City Commission, as may be extended by
the Historic Preservation Board. The Planning Department shall conduct a review to
determine whether or not the completed improvements are in compliance with the work
approved by the City Commission, including any approved amendments. If the Planning
Department determines that the work is in compliance, the final request for Review of
Completed Work shall be approved and issued in writing to the applicant. If the Planning
Department determines that the work as completed is not in compliance, the applicant
will be advised in writing that the final request for Review of Completed Work has been
denied. A written summary of the reasons for the determination will be provided,
including recommendations concerning the changes to the proposed work necessary to
bring it into compliance. The applicant may file an appeal of the decision of the Planning
Department within 15 days of such decision. The appeal shall be in writing and shall be
to the Historic Preservation Board and shall set forth the factual and legal bases for the
appeal.

recorded restrictive covenant, the Planning Department shall transmit a copy of the
approved request for Review of Completed Work, the exemption covenant, and the
resolution of the City Commission approving the final application and authorizing the tax
exemption to the Miami -Dade County Property Appraiser's Office. Final verification of
substantial completion of the improvements shall be determined by the Miami -Dade
County Property Appraiser's Office. If final verification of substantial completion and
approval are given by the Miami -Dade County Property Appraiser's Office, the
exemption shall take effect on the January 1 following substantial completion of the
improvements.

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Matti Herrera Bower and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jorge M. Gonzalez, City Manager A
DATE: November 17, 2010
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING A
PRECONSTRUCTION APPLICATION FOR HISTORIC AD
VALOREM TAX EXEMPTION FOR A SINGLE - FAMILY
PROPERTY AT 2740 NORTH BAY ROAD, AND AUTHORIZING
THE MIAMI -DADE COUNTY PROPERTY APPRAISER'S
OFFICE TO GRANT THIS TAX EXEMPTION FOR THE CITY'S
PORTION OF AD VALOREM PROPERTY TAXES FOR
QUALIFYING IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY
FOLLOWING SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT
AND COMPLIANCE WITH CERTAIN CONDITIONS.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration is requesting that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the
proposed resolution, thereby approving a Preconstruction Application for Historic Ad
Valorem Tax Exemption for a single - family property located at 2740 North Bay Road.
HISTORIC SINGLE - FAMILY AD VALOREM TAX EXEMPTION
On December 8, 2004, the City of Miami Beach enacted legislation that authorizes an
exemption for its portion of ad valorem taxes for improvements to historically designated
single - family homes (Sections 118 -600 to 118 -612 of the Miami Beach City Code). This
legislation allows for the City's portion of property taxes to be "frozen" at the rate they
were assessed before qualifying improvements are made to an historic single - family
home for a period of ten (10) years. The "freezing" is accomplished by removing from
the assessment the incremental value added by the qualifying improvements. Only the
incremental value of the qualifying improvements shall be "frozen" for the ten year
period.
Qualifying improvements are the result of restoration, renovation, rehabilitation and /or
compatible additions to an historic single - family property. In order for an improvement to
qualify for an exemption, the improvement must be determined by the Historic
Preservation Board and City Commission to be consistent with the Secretary of the
Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and the Certificate of Appropriateness Criteria in
Section 118 -564 of the Miami Beach City Code. However, the Miami -Dade County
Commission Memorandum of November 17, 2010
Historic Single- Family Ad Valorem Tax Exemption
2740 North Bay Road
Page 2 of 6
Property Appraiser's Office will make the final determination of whether an improvement
qualifies for an exemption.
The application for Historic Ad Valorem Tax Exemption is a two step process. The "Part
1 — Preconstruction Application" is normally submitted to the Planning Department prior
to any construction or demolition for an eligible single - family property. The "Part 2 —
Review of Completed Work" is submitted to the Planning Department upon substantial
completion of the project.
Upon submittal of a completed Part 1 - Preconstruction Application, the Planning
Department will schedule the request for approval of Historic Ad Valorem Tax Exemption
from the Historic Preservation Board at their next regularly scheduled meeting. The
Board will review and make a recommendation to the City Commission to grant or deny
an application for tax exemption.
The Planning Department will transmit the request for approval of Historic Ad Valorem
Tax Exemption, together with the Part 1 — Preconstruction Application and the
recommendations of the Historic Preservation Board and staff, for final consideration by
the City Commission at a regularly scheduled meeting. A majority vote of the City
Commission is required to approve an application for tax exemption.
For final approval of an Historic Ad Valorem Tax Exemption, the applicant must submit
to the Planning Department the Part 2 — Review of Completed Work upon substantial
completion of the project. A review will be conducted by Planning Department staff to
determine whether or not the completed improvements are in compliance with the work
approved by the City Commission in the Part 1 - Preconstruction Application. To qualify
for a tax exemption, the property owner is required to enter into a covenant or
agreement with the City guaranteeing that the character of the property and its qualifying
improvements will be maintained during the period that the exemption is granted.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION
The subject property is located at 2740 North Bay Road on Lot 10 in Block 12 of
"AMENDED PLAT OF SUNSET LAKE SUBDIVISON," according to the Plat thereof, as
recorded in Plat Book 8 at Page 52, of the Public Records of Dade County, now known
as Miami -Dade County, Florida, excepting the following described parcel of land:
Beginning at the Northeasterly corner of Lot 10, in Block 12, at SUNSET LAKE
SUBDIVISION, according to the Plat thereof, as recorded n Plat Book 8 at Page 52, of
the Public Records of Dade County, now known as Miami -Dade County, Florida, said
corner being in the Westerly line of North Bay Road at a distance of 80.1 feet South from
the intersection of the Southerly line of West 29 Street and the Westerly line of North Bay
Road, as measured along in said Block 12, for a distance of 258.75 feet more or Tess to
the Northwesterly corner of said Lot 10; thence Northeasterly for a distance of 241.88
feet more or Tess to a point in the Westerly said North Bay Road, said point being 25 feet
South, as measured along the Westerly line of said North Bay Road, from the
Northeasterly corner of said Lot 10; thence Northerly along the Westerly line of said
North Bay Road for a distance of 25 feet to the Point and Place of Beginning.
EXISTING STRUCTURE
Built in 1929 and designed by architect, August Geiger, the subject residence is a good
example of the Mediterranean Revival style of architecture. The distinctive two -story
Commission Memorandum of November 17, 2010
Historic Single- Family Ad Valorem Tax Exemption
2740 North Bay Road
Page 3 of 6
residence is characterized by an asymmetric street facade, complex massing, multiple
barrel tile gable and rounded - arched front entry door. Many well defined original
architectural features of the house add artistic value and character to the structure and
the neighborhood. The carefully executed design was clearly done with the highest
regard to the character of the house and the neighborhood in which it rests, as
evidenced by the careful attention to detail expressed throughout the design, both on the
exterior and interior.
BACKGROUND
On May 11, 2010, the Historic Preservation Board approved a request by the applicant
for the individual designation of the single- family property at 2740 North Bay Road as an
historic structure. The Board also voted to approve a request for approval of a
Certificate of Appropriateness for the partial demolition, renovation and restoration of the
existing home and the construction of a new addition.
On September 14, 2010, the Historic Preservation Board held a public hearing and voted
unanimously (5 to 0, 2 absent) in favor of recommending that the Mayor and City
Commission approve a Preconstruction Application for Historic Ad Valorem Tax
Exemption for qualifying improvements to the historically designated single - family
property at 2740 North Bay Road.
SCOPE OF PROJECT
The applicant is requesting that the Historic Preservation Board recommend approval of
an application for Historic Ad Valorem Tax Exemption for the single - family property at
2740 North Bay Road. Staff recommends the improvements to the historic residence
and site indicated below.
A. Exterior Architectural Features
(For clarification, staff identifies qualifying additions to an historic home to be
which are fully attached to the existing house, are necessary to bring the existing
structure up to a level of livability more comparable to new surrounding homes,
and do not remove or adversely alter significant historic architectural features.)
1. A single -story, 191 square foot addition will be constructed on the ground
level of the northwest side of the existing home. This addition will contain a
portion of the enlarged kitchen.
2. A second -story, 2,330 square foot addition will be constructed above the
existing, single -story attached, three car garage at the northeast corner of the
property. This second story addition will contain a bedroom, bathroom and
playroom.
3. A 35 square foot covered balcony will be constructed at the northeast portion
of the home at the second level.
5. A 412 square foot rear covered terrace will be constructed on the ground
level at the west side of the home.
6. The original arched wood door made up of wood spindles located at the east
elevation will be retained and restored.
Commission Memorandum of November 17, 2010
Historic Single- Family Ad Valorem Tax Exemption
2740 North Bay Road
Page 4 of 6
7. All existing windows will be removed and replaced with impact resistant
windows to match the original window configuration. A new structural
concrete perimeter frame will be installed in order to anchor the new impact
windows into the existing walls.
8. The existing chimney located at the west side of the home will be retained
and restored.
B. Interior Architectural Features
(The interior features indicated below may not be considered by the Miami -Dade
County Tax Appraiser to be qualifying for the tax exemption.)
1. The original wood colonnade which spans the width of the living room from
east to west will be retained and restored.
2. The original balconet (including the railings and French doors) located along
the second floor hallway which overlooks the living room will be retained and
restored.
3. The original carved keystone fireplace mantel located within the living room
will be retained and restored.
4. New mechanical and electrical systems will be added throughout the
structure to ensure energy efficiency compliance with current code and
standards.
5. The existing ground level, single story 898 square foot garage will be
converted into air - conditioned habitable space.
C. Landscape Features
(The landscape and site improvements indicated below are not considered to be
qualifying for the tax exemption.)
1. The existing swimming pool will be retained and repaired and the pool deck
and patio will be resurfaced with a new paving material.
2. A single -story 294 square foot gazebo at the western portion of the property
will be constructed.
FISCAL IMPACT
According to the applicant, the estimated cost of the entire project is $3,550,000 and the
value of the proposed qualifying improvements for the subject single - family property is
$3,125,000. The project commencement date is scheduled for November 2010 and the
estimated project completion date is June 2012.
Please note that the revenue implication calculation provided below is a rough
approximation. It assumes that the Miami -Dade County Property Appraiser's Office will
not reduce the actual square footage of the additions to adjusted square footage. It
Commission Memorandum of November 17, 2010
Historic Single - Family Ad Valorem Tax Exemption
2740 North Bay Road
Page 5 of 6
assumes that the City's millage rate, the building market value, as well as the building
class and grade value will remain the same. It is also based solely on the estimated
value of the new additions and not to any repairs to the historic residence.
The Miami -Dade County Property Appraiser's Office determined in 2009 that the subject
property has an adjusted square footage of 6,119 and a building value of $932,948. The
lot size is approximately 28,245 square feet with a land value of $3,758,582.
The Property Appraiser's Office advised that the subject property has an effective
building value per adjusted square foot of $152 which is based upon its building class
and grade. According to the applicant, the proposed actual square footage of the
qualifying building additions for the site is approximately 3419 square feet. Then the
estimated value of the proposed increase in qualifying square footage only, would be
$521,056. This figure does not include any other qualifying improvements that the
County Tax Appraiser may determine to add value to the property. The County Tax
Appraiser may determine certain improvements to the existing structure to be
maintenance and therefore not adding building value to the property. In FY 2010/11, the
adopted millage rate for the City of Miami Beach is 6.2155.
For the sole purpose of providing an estimated savings to the property owner (based on
solely on the square footage of qualifying additions), we will assume there will be no
change in millage rate over the ten year period in which the exemption is granted. When
using the estimated 6.2155 millage rate for FY 20010/11, the applicant will save annually
approximately $3240 from Miami Beach's portion of property taxes. Again, this
calculation is a rough estimate of the revenue implication to the City due to many
variables.
ANALYISIS
Staff commends the applicant for the retention and designation of the single family
home, designed by August Geiger and constructed in 1929. An earlier proposal for the
subject property was previously reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board,
which substantially demolished the majority of the existing historic residence, including
all of the roofs in order to raise the entire structure up to the minimum flood elevation. In
reconsidering this proposal, the owner became concerned with the loss of the
remarkable design identity and intimate character of the home, and instead met with
staff to seek its designation.
While staff is supportive of the application, there are certain improvements listed by the
applicant which staff does not consider to be qualifying. These improvements either
remove or adversely alter significant architectural features of the historic home, are not
restorative in nature and are not necessary to bring the existing structure up to a level of
livability more comparable to newer surrounding homes. Staff has brought these
recommendations to the attention of the applicant during the initial review of the
application.
Staff does not recommend the following improvements to be qualifying for the tax
abatement:
1. A second -story, 328 square foot addition will be constructed at the west side
of the home consisting of a sitting area and terrace with hot tub located
Commission Memorandum of November 17, 2010
Historic Single- Family Ad Valorem Tax Exemption
2740 North Bay Road
Page 6 of 6
adjacent to the already generous master suite of rooms.
2. A 39 square foot vestibule and A/C closets will be added at the east side of
home which will require the removal of original fenestration and exterior wall
at the primary facade.
3. A 988 square foot loggia will be added at the east side of the home at the
ground level which will significantly alter the original primary facade of the
historic structure and which will remove significant architectural features
including the original front entrance door.
4. A 188 square foot new covered porch will be added to the ground floor at the
east side of the home adjacent to the existing courtyard and original entrance
porch. This will alter the original significant entrance courtyard area.
5. A 167 square foot covered terrace will be constructed on the second level of
the proposed master suite at the west side of the home providing a new
sundeck above the new breezeway and requires the removal and
replacement of significant architectural features of the primary facade.
6. A single story, 864 square foot garage will be partially attached to the east
side at the primary facade of the home at the ground level. The existing
home already incorporates a 3 car garage which is proposed to be converted
into multiple bedrooms and staff quarters on two levels.
The applicant is to be greatly commended for the retention and restoration of the subject
home. It is very important that the current owner has chosen to preserve and expand
this historic home, rather than to demolish and replace it. The historically significant
home is an asset to the neighborhood, and as such staff recommends approval of the
tax exemption application.
RECOMMENDATION
In view of the foregoing analysis, and consistency with the Secretary of the Interior's
Standards for Rehabilitation and the Certificate of Appropriateness Criteria in Section
118 -564 of the Miami Beach City Code, staff recommends in favor of the application for
Miami Beach Historic Ad Valorem Tax Exemption for the single - family residence at 2740
North Bay Road.

I. REQUEST
The applicant, Delphine Dray, is requesting that the Historic Preservation Board approve a request
for the designation of an existing single - family home as an historic structure.
II. DESIGNATION PROCESS
The process of designation for historic structures is delineated in Section 118- 591(f) in the Land
Development Regulations of the City Code. An outline of this process is provided below:
Step One: An application for the individual designation of a single - family home as an historic
structure is submitted by the property owner to the Planning Department for
recommendation to the Historic Preservation Board. The Board will make a
determination as to whether the single - family home may be designated as an historic
structure based upon the requirements and criteria of Section 118 -592 in the Land
Development Regulations of the City Code.
Step Two: Upon receipt of a completed application package, the Planning Department prepares
a Designation Report that will be presented to the Historic Preservation Board at a
regularly scheduled meeting. The Designation Report is an historical and
architectural analysis of the proposed historic structure.
Step Three: The Designation Report is presented to the Historic Preservation Board at a public
hearing. If the Board finds that the proposed single - family designation application
meets the criteria set forth in Section 118 -592 of the Land Development Regulations
in the City Code, it may formally adopt the single - family home as a local historic
structure. No public hearing is required before the Planning Board or City
Commission. Upon the designation of a single - family home as an historic structure,
the structure is subject to the Certificate of Appropriateness requirements of Article X
of the Land Development Regulations in the City Code, with the exception of the
interior areas of the structure (which are not be subject to such regulations).
III. RELATION TO ORDINANCE CRITERIA
1. In accordance with Section 118 -592 in the Land Development Regulations of the City Code,
eligibility for designation is determined on the basis of compliance with the listed criteria set
forth below.
(a) The Historic Preservation Board shall have the authority to recommend that
properties be designated as historic buildings, historic structures, historic
improvements, historic landscape features, historic interiors (architecturally
significant public portions only), historic sites or historic districts if they are significant
in the historical, architectural, cultural, aesthetic or archeological heritage of the city,
the county, state or nation. Such properties shall possess an integrity of location,
design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling or association and meet at least one
(1) of the following criteria:
(1) Association with events that have made a significant contribution to the

feeling, or association for the following reasons:
Satisfied; The construction of the home located at 2740 North Bay Road in 1929, at the end
of the Florida Boom and the same year of the stock market crash, was clearly significant in
the successful development history of the City of Miami Beach. The design and construction
of the home brought a architectural style of high aesthetic appeal and stature to the
neighborhood, as well as highly prominent local architect, August Geiger, who was qualified
to execute it. The proposed historic home still possess the integrity of its original location
at2740 North Bay Road, despite more than eighty years of hurricanes, storms, and
economic crises. Further, the original building still retains many of its historic materials,
details, and workmanship as well as the feeling of its late 1920s period of construction in
Miami Beach.
(a) Staff finds the proposed historic site to be eligible for historic designation and in
conformance with the designation criteria for the following reasons:
(1) Association with events that have made a significant contribution to the
history of the city, the county, state or nation;
The single family residence located at 2740 North Bay Road, built on the
brink of the Great Depression, is a last gasp of the Florida Boom of the
3
EXHIBIT `A'
1920s, when wealthy northern industrialists flooded into Florida, building their
palatial winter residences and investing in real estate speculation. Specific
to Miami Beach, this house was an early component of Carl Fisher's Sunset
Lake Subdivision.
(2) Association with the lives of persons significant in the city's past history;
The original owner Val Duttenhofer Jr. was not only a well known industrialist
from Cincinnati, Ohio, but also became a prominent investor in properties in
Miami and Miami Beach.
(3) Embody the distinctive characteristics of an historical period, architectural or
design style or method of construction;
This house is a good example of the Mediterranean Revival style of
architecture, the predominant style in Florida in the 1920s. Some of its
characteristics seen here are the clay barrel tile gable roofs, round - arched
doorways, balconies, decorative medallions and door surrounds. The later
garage addition was designed to blend compatibly with the original house.
(4) Possesses high artistic values;
Valued at $30, 000 in 1929 and designed by a prominent architect, this house
was of high - quality design and construction with many fine details, and built
in an upper -class neighborhood.
(5) Represent the work of a master, serve as an outstanding or representative
work of a master designer, architect or builder who contributed to our
historical, aesthetic or architectural heritage;
August Geiger was one of the City's finest architects, favored by Carl Fisher
himself. He designed many prominent buildings in Miami Beach from the
1910s through the 1940s, although many have now been demolished. The
Skinner brothers, who designed the garage addition, were well known for
their work in Coral Gables, and later for their many civic buildings. They
designed several Contributing buildings in Miami Beach's historic districts.
(b) A building, structure (including the public portions of the interior), improvement or
landscape feature may be designated historic even if it has been altered if the alteration
is reversible and the most significant architectural elements are intact and repairable.
The single- family residence at 2740 North Bay Road maintains high degree of
architectural integrity with limited modifications. Restoration and appropriate renovation
can be successfully completed of this fine residence by careful analysis of on -site
conditions and available historic documentation.

VIII. ARCHITECTURAL BACKGROUND
Mediterranean Revival (circa mid -1910s to early 1930s)
Mediterranean Revival architecture was the "style of choice" for the first major land
development period in Miami Beach. Its connotation of Mediterranean resort architecture,
combining expressions of Italian, Moorish, North African, and Southern Spanish themes,
was found to be an appropriate and commercially appealing image for the new Floridian
seaside resort; it was a style that was simultaneously being used expansively in California
and other areas of similar climate.
During the mid -1910s through the early 1930s, the style was frequently applied to hotels,
apartment buildings, commercial structures, and single - family residences. Its architectural
vocabulary was characterized by stucco walls, low- pitched terra cotta and historic Cuban tile
roofs, arches, scrolled or tile capped parapet walls, and articulated door surrounds,
sometimes utilizing Spanish Baroque decorative motifs and Classical elements. Feature
detailing was occasionally executed in keystone or patterned ceramic tile.
Application of the architectural vocabulary in Miami Beach ranged from sparing to modestly
exuberant, and building massing varied from a simple rectangular form to stepped massing
with recessed wall planes and tower -like corner features. Wooden casement or double -
hung windows of several configurations provided additional detail to the facades.

2740 North Bay Road
The subject house occupies Lot 10 in Block 8 of the Sunset Lake Subdivision of Miami
Beach, platted by developer Carl G. Fisher's Miami Beach Bay Shore Company in April of
1923. This is a waterfront lot on Sunset Lake that Fisher dredged in order to isolate rival
Stephen A. Lynch's land, which became the Sunset Islands.'
2740 North Bay Road is one of two houses for which permits were issued on the same day,
October 7, 1929 (shortly before the stock market crash), to the same owner, Valentine
Duttenhofer Jr. The other house was located directly north of 2740 at 2760 North Bay Road,
Lot 11 in Block 8. Both residences were designed in the Mediterranean Revival style by
architect August Geiger (see Biography following), each cost $30,000 to construct.
Duttenhofer himself had a winter residence located on Lot 9 in Block 8 at 2700 North Bay
Road, built in 1925. He was one of the many northern industrialists who contributed to the
Florida Boom of the 1920s. In 1905, Valentine Duttenhofer Jr. (1862 - 1939), together with
his younger brother John, founded the Val Duttenhofer's Sons Company, well known shoe
manufacturers in Cincinnatti, Ohio. Val Jr.'s purchase of the Clyde Court Apartments in
Miami for $500,000 in the 1920s was "the largest all -cash sale in Miami up to that point. " In
later years his son Clifford owned both the Clyde Court and the Mildred Lee Apartments in
Miami Beach (now demolished). Although the Florida Boom crashed after the 1926
hurricane, Duttenhofer continued to invest in building these two elegant homes in 1929. The
subject house was occupied by James W. Eustis of Boston in the 1930s.
August Geiger's plans for the residence were found on Microfilm #3292 in the City of Miami
Beach Building Department records. The plans show an irregularly shaped, two -story house
of reinforced concrete, with multiple gable roofs and one -story shed -roof elements. The
front entry door, characterized by rounded arch and fan window, leads into a double- height
living room and a loggia, also with rounded arches, overlooks Sunset Lake. The central
section of the house has an east -west axis and contains a bedroom, stairway, kitchen,
pantry, and dining room. The original garage is located at the north side of the property, set
at an angle to the main house.
The original plans clearly show barrel tile roofs, and the windows appear to be six -pane
casement with wooden frame details. Other exterior features include decorative medallions
on the roof gables; second story balconies on the front and rear, with wood spindle railings
and masonry door - surrounds; and a similar wood - spindle gate into an open entry porch.
An addition costing $2,500 is documented on the original Building Permit Card and plans for
were located on Microfilm #9645. The addition was designed by brothers John and Coulton
Skinner (see Biography following) and appears to be a one -story, three -car garage situated
to the north of the main house. Its footprint can be seen in the 1952 plat map. When this
new garage was constructed, the original attached garage was converted to living space.
Later alterations to the residence documented on the Building Permit Card include the

installation of central air - conditioning and other interior work in 1976, and the addition of a
swimming pool in 1987.
While no archival photographs have been found to verify that the house and garage addition
were built according to plan, site inspection of the building reveals that the property largely
conforms to the plans by both Geiger and the Skinners, and most of the original features
remain intact.
Architect Biographies
August Geiger (1888 -1968) was from New Haven, Connecticut. He was educated at
Boardman's Manual Training School, and by apprenticeship; he came to Miami in 1905 and
became Florida's tenth registered architect. Geiger started his own practice in 1911, and in
his early career designed a number of bungalow residences, the Bulmer Apartments in
Miami (demolished), the Miami City Hospital (now "the Alamo" at Jackson Memorial
Hospital), and public schools at Homestead, Arch Creek and Dania.
As a master of the Mediterranean Revival style with a strong Beaux -Arts influence, he
became Miami Beach developer Carl Fisher's favorite architect, and designed both of
Fisher's residences, one of which still stands at 5010 North Bay Road. Other buildings he
designed for Fisher include the 1916 clubhouse for the Municipal Golf Course, now one of
the oldest buildings in the City; the Lincoln Hotel (now demolished) and the Lincoln Building
(now the Van Dyke) on Lincoln Road. His work also includes the Allison Hospital (later St.
Francis) and the La Gorce Golf Clubhouse, both now demolished.
From 1935 to 1948, Geiger worked as architect for the Dade County School Board, and in
this capacity worked on the Ida Fisher High School at 1410 Drexel Avenue, North Shore
Elementary School at 711 41 Street, and Biscayne Bay Elementary School at 800 77
Street. His 1947 neoclassical -deco style Chase Federal Savings Bank Building at 1100
Lincoln Road has now been rehabilitated as a Banana Republic store.
In Miami, Geiger designed the Woman's Club at 1737 North Bayshore Drive; the grand
neoclassical Christian Science church at 1836 Biscayne Boulevard; and, in 1925, he was
one of the architects of the Dade County Courthouse on Flagler Street. In addition to
architecture, Geiger was active in many civic organizations, and also was the developer of
the Fairgreen Subdivision in Miami Beach.
(William) Coulton Skinner (1891 -1963) and his brother John L. Skinner (1893 -1972) were
from Cleveland, Ohio. Both brothers graduated with degrees in architecture from the
University of Toronto. Coulton went into practice in Toronto and Detroit, while John studied
toward a Master's Degree at Harvard in 1920. After graduation, John headed the
architecture department at Georgia Tech in Atlanta. In 1925 the brothers came to Miami to
work on George Merrick's Coral Gables development, eventually designing 18 residences in
the "Villages" section. From 1927 to 1932, John Skinner served as the first head of the
architecture department at the newly created University of Miami.
In Miami Beach, the Skinner brothers designed two Mediterranean Revival style houses in
the Palm View Historic District: 1835 Michigan Avenue (1931) and 1800 Jefferson Avenue
(1936). In addition, they designed the Koulton Arms Apartments at 932 15 Street, the
Barbizon Hotel at 530 Ocean Drive and the Bentley Hotel at 500 Ocean Drive, all
constructed in the 1930s.

EXHIBIT `A'
In 1941 the Skinners joined architect Harold D. Steward as the firm of Stewart & Skinner.
This firm worked on a number of civic and municipal buildings in the Miami area, including
the retrofitting of the Nautilus, Pancoast, and Biltmore Hotels as military hospitals during
World War II; several new buildings at the University of Miami; the Miami Seaquarium; parts
of Miami International Airport; an addition to Jackson Memorial Hospital; the former Miami
Public Library; and the Dade County Auditorium.
