Cottage Museum - was restored through a joint effort
by the Delray Beach Historical Society and the City of Delray Beach in 1988. The
cottage was built in 1915 by Reverend John R. Cason, a community leader and Methodist
minister, whose descendants live in Delray Beach. It is a vernacular style home with
craftsman cottage details, solidly constructed of Dade County pine. The Historical
Society maintains the museum as a permanent exhibit that reflects Florida lifestyle circa
1915-1935. At present, until our new bungalow is in place and restored, tours of Cason Cottage are by appointment. Please call (561) 243-0223 or (561) 274-9578 to arrange a date. |
