MacFarlane Homestead Historic District
MacFarlane Homestead Historic District, Historic residential district in Coral Gables, Florida
The MacFarlane Homestead Historic District spans 40 acres between Jefferson Street, Frow Avenue, Brooker Street, and Grand Avenue in Coral Gables.
Flora McFarlane, the first female homesteader and schoolteacher in the area, sold 20 acres of land to George Merrick's company in 1925.
The district includes 32 historic buildings constructed by Bahamian immigrant laborers, representing early 20th-century Mediterranean Revival architecture in South Florida.
The neighborhood maintains strict preservation guidelines to protect its architectural features while allowing visitors to explore its streets through walking tours.
The district's buildings display original design elements such as decorative tile work, archways, and wrought-iron details from the 1920s construction period.
