Edgewood Realty Co. of West Palm Beach opened the College Park development. Since the original development was marketed during the Florida Land Boom (1919-1929), within three hours 90% of the lots were sold. In order to maintain an upscale residential atmosphere, the developer restricted the minimum lot width to 50 feet and all newly constructed residential dwellings were required to cost a minimum of $5,000. Unique to ''College Park'' is the naming of each street after prominent American colleges or universities instead of numbers or letters. Several of the older homes within College Park were built during the Florida Land Boom that ended with the 1928 hurricane and the national economic depression. Several of these homes are notable for their Mediterranean Revival and Mission Style architecture. A second building boom occurred in the 1940's after World War II which included many single story, slab on grade masonry houses. These homes are characterized by their Masonry Vernacular, International and Ranch architectural styles. Our subject is has hardwood floors, Huge deck out back, carport.
