Boca Chita Key Historic District
Boca Chita Key Historic District, Historic district on Boca Chita Key, Florida, United States.
The Boca Chita Key Historic District spans 110 acres within Biscayne National Park, featuring limestone structures and a 65-foot tall lighthouse along the shoreline.
Mark C. Honeywell, an industrialist, established this retreat in 1937, constructing multiple buildings including a chapel, pavilion, and generator room between 1937 and 1940.
The district's architecture, designed by the August Geiger Firm, incorporates Miami oolite limestone and concrete in a modern style that reflects 1930s Florida construction methods.
Access to the historic district requires boat transportation, with several launching points available at nearby marinas within Biscayne National Park.
The lighthouse, despite its impressive construction, never received operational approval from the U.S. Coast Guard and remained non-functional throughout its existence.
