Developed by Coral Gables founder George Merrick as a black residential neighborhood, the early homes of this district were built in the late 1920s and 1930s in the vernacular style of architecture not seen elsewhere in Coral Gables. The styles include bungalows and one-story frame shot-gun homes. The land was formerly the homestead of Flora McFarlane, a white woman who, before there was a public school, taught both black and white children at The Peacock Inn, Miami's first hotel.
