a. Spring Garden was advertised as “the most exclusive subdivision
in Miami” when the first lots were offered for sale in 1919. Property
along the Seybold Canal and the Miami River provided deepwater access,
but the subdivision's prime location near downtown Miami and the Royal
Palm Golf Course was its biggest selling point. Deed restrictions attached
to the sale of each lot have helped preserve the character of the neighborhood,
which includes Frame and Masonry Vernacular houses along with examples
of Craftsman, Mission, and Streamline Moderne style homes built from the
1920s to the 1940s.
