From introduction: "In 1974, the Historic Preservation Master Plan for Tallahassee identified the Country Club Estates neighborhood as a viable and cohesive early twentieth century neighborhood and recommended its preservation. In 2001, the City of Tallahassee designated the neighborhood—consisting of Country Club Estates, the Capital City Country Club and golf course, Myers Park, Golf Terrace Unit 1, Golf Terrace Unit 2, parts of Woodland Drives, and other nearby sites —as the Myers Park Local Residential Historic District. Located approximately one mile south-east of the capitol building, the Myers Park Historic District (MPHD) was created just outside the city limits during the post-World War I land boom. Today, the downtown neighborhood still retains the country estate-like character that the original developer planned. As one of the city’s earliest planned residential neighborhoods, MPHD has consistently been home to many of Tallahassee’s civic and business leaders as well as governmental officials. The area’s City Beautiful setting and its history and architecture create the special character that warrants its designation as Tallahassee’s first local residential historic district. The guidelines that follow will help the residents of MPHD and the Tallahassee- Leon County Architectural Review Board (ARB) to work together to maintain that special character." Funding was provided in part by a 2005 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of Tallahassee (project number FL-05-013) administered by the Florida State Historic Preservation Office (grant number 12-05-20411) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Tallahassee, Florida is a Certified Local Government.
