Statement of . Si nif ican_�e
The X-Ray Clinic is significant for its associations with'a
prominent physician in MiamO s early black oommunity and as
M
a reflection of life in Overtown during the first half of
the twentieth century. The building is also a typical
example of Streamline Moderne style architecture during the
193018.
Dr. Samuel H. Johnson came to Miami as a child in 1� :sink
began to,practioe medicine here in 1931. He later studied
radiology and was the first black physician in South
Florida to establish a radiological practice. The =:R`
Clinic was built to serve as his office because blacks were
not allowed to be x-rayed at the City Hospital. Shortly
after opening his clinic, Dr. Johnson is said to have
amassed the most extensive x-ray equipment of any private
black practitioner in the United States.
The construction of the X-Ray Clinic in 1939 reflects the
reality of segregated life in Miami during the early
decades of the twentieth century. Because Overtown, then
_
known as "Colored Town," was forced to be virtually a self-
sufficient community, black -owned businesses and
professional services thrived. The X-Ray Clinic is one
_
example of the types of services which were provided to
meet the needs of this once -vibrant community.
-
The X-Ray Clinic is a good example of the application of
Streamline Moderne style architecture to a modest
=..:#
commercial building. The elements of the style are
:.
particularly evident in the building's rounded corners,
horizontal band of windows, use of glass block, and central
__-
relief details.
Relationship to Criteria for Designation:
t.
The X-Ray Clinic is eligible for designation under the
.;r.
following criteria:
1. Is associated in a significant way with the life of a
:- MY
person important in the past.
The X-Ray Clinic is the most important structure..
-.
associated with the life of South Florida's first black

block building is covered with smooth stucco and is topped
with a flat roof with parapet.
The building is symmetrical in composition and features a,,:'
central entrance. The train doorway is surrounded by tinted-.
pink keystone blocks, placed to resemble quoins, and by'.
=r
glass block sidelights. A semi-eircular canopy, topp6d

Above the entrance is a central low relief panel whioh-.
features a rounded stepped motif with a strong vertical
emphasis. On either side of this panel is a round,'
ornamental, concrete vent.

V. PLANNING CONTEXT
Present trends and Conditions:
The X•Ray Clinic has been vacant since 1972 and was i?i a
deteriorated condition when it was donated to the Black
Archives in 1981. The building is located within Phase III
of the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment
Plan, an area not expected to be redeveloped for
a-ppr6ximately eight to ten years.
In order to rehabilitate the building, Black Archives has
received two grants from Metro -Dade Community Development.
Rehabilitation is underway and should be completed by May
1984. Black Archives will rent or lease the building,
possibly for use as an art gallery showcasing black art.
Conservation Objectives:
Rehabilitation should proceed according to schedule so the
X-Ray Clinic can be dedicated as planned during National
Historic Preservation Week in May. The completion of this
project will focus community attention on the possibilities
for historic preservation in Overtown.
Efforts should continue to identify appropriate businesses
to rent or lease the space so the building can be put to an
economically productive use, thus providing a sustaining
income for Black Archives.
These conservation objectives can best be achieved by
maintaining the present zoning of the property. An HC-1
zoning overlay district will maintain the existing zoning,
requiring only the review of physical changes to the
property.
