Built by Henry A. DeLand, a New Yorker, who founded DeLand. He deeded the building to the university. Masonry Vernacular predominate. The physical development of the district began in the late 1870s, but the early buildings that survive today were built after 1886. The district has lost some physical integrity resulting largely from poor maintenance, and the alteration or destruction of some structures.
Sufficient numbers remain to convey a sense of the historic period.
Public and Private. Stone St. 1920, 1926. Italian Renaissance and Masonry Vernacular. J.T. Cairns, F.M. Miller, and Gouveneur M. Peek, architects. 2 and a half stories.
