From introduction: "By considering buildings as evidence, dynamic change in Tavernier becomes visible and reminds us of times worth remembering. Change in Tavernier is associated with weather, people, and transportation improvements. Change also appears in the transformation from an agricultural economy to a real estate and tourism service economy. The architectural evidence also shows uses of space, re-organization of space, and shifting spatial experiences in Tavernier. The streets and buildings tell of local entrepreneurs and families and how their needs influenced architectural choices. By looking at Tavernier through the lens of architectural history, we can see how events and buildings have not only shaped the Tavernier landscape, but how they have combined to imbue that landscape with special significance for the community. Funding was provided in part by a 2007 Historic Preservation Fund grant to Monroe County (project number FL-07-011) administered by the Florida State Historic Preservation Office (grant number 12-07-21613) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
