MacFarlane Homestead Historic District, Historic residential district in Coral Gables, Florida

MacFarlane Homestead Historic District is a historic district in Coral Gables, Florida, bounded by Jefferson Street, Frow Avenue, Brooker Street and Grand Avenue. It holds 32 historic buildings, mostly homes built by Bahamian immigrant laborers after 1925, when Flora McFarlane sold the land to George Merrick's company.

Flora MacFarlane, an early settler and teacher, sold land to George Merrick's development company in 1925. This led to rapid building and development of the neighborhood with new homes.

The district's name honours Flora McFarlane, though the official spelling "Mac" is apparently an error. She was the area's first solo female homesteader and its first schoolteacher, born in New Jersey to British parents. After she sold the land in 1925, many Bahamian immigrants, particularly Afro-Bahamians, built homes there.

The district lies within the bounds of Jefferson Street, Frow Avenue, Brooker Street and Grand Avenue in Coral Gables, in Miami-Dade County. Its 32 historic buildings line these residential blocks, so the streets themselves are the way to see the houses. Flora McFarlane's own home site, at today's Douglas Road and Day Avenue, is outside the district and no longer stands.

The official name contains a misspelling: the district honours Flora McFarlane, the area's first solo female homesteader and first schoolteacher, but the designation reads "MacFarlane". Born in New Jersey to British parents, she settled 160 acres from March 16, 1891; her home site at today's Douglas Road and Day Avenue is gone.
