Consultant Summary
In October 2005, the Archaeological and Historical Conservancy, Inc. (AHC) conducted
an archaeological and historical assessment of the 600 Brickell Plaza parcel for 600
Brickell LLC Development.
This assessment was conducted in response to the parcel's location within the Miami
River Archaeological Conservation Area, as described in the City of Miami Historic
Preservation Ordinance 16-10, Chapter 23.
Numerous residential structures were once located on the parcel prior to its current use as
a commercial office and parking lot. All of the original structures have been demolished.
Archival records indicate that homes were constructed there as early as 1907. The parcel
encompasses 19 lots totaling 3.49 acres.
No archaeological sites are recorded on the parcel but the western component of
archaeological site DA12 is located 100 feet to the north (Figure 2). No subsurface
testing was conducted during this assessment because of the active parking lot, but the
archaeological management plan includes monitoring the stripping of asphalt prior to
new construction and Phase 1 archaeological testing. Archaeological monitoring will be
conducted during the demolition of the 600 Building and also during the proposed
construction related excavations of the parcel. Detailed management guidelines are
presented in the "Archaeological Management Plan" section of this report.

Project Setting
The 600 Brickell Plaza parcel encompasses 3.49 acres, representing 19 lots that are
bounded by Southeast Sixth Street to the north, by Lots 8 and 16 to the west, by Brickell
Avenue to the east, and by Southeast Seventh Street to the south. The parcel is located in
Section 38 of Township 54S, Range 41E, and the relevant USGS map is the Miami
Quadrangle (rev. 1969).
Natural Setting
The project parcel is about 1000 feet south of the Miami River. The parcel occurs within
the Atlantic Coastal Ridge, a natural formation of oolithic limestone that. extends
north -south along the southeastern coast of Florida. Natural soils are sandy, probably
representing 20 to 50 cm of sandy sediment on top of oolithic limestone bedrock in most
places.
Prior to clearing and development activities the floral community of the project parcel
may have included hardwood hammock, probably part of the Brickell Hammock, which
extended from the Miami River southward to Coconut Grove. The parcel has been
highly altered and the clearing of natural vegetation that began as early as the early 20th
century by settlers.
Currently, the project parcel is occupied by a commercial office building and parking lot.
Cultural Setting
The project parcel is located in the Glades Cultural area, a distinctive geographic area of
southern Florida first classified by Matthew Sterling (1936: 351-357). Archaeologist
John Goggin further refined this culture area, recogizing distinctive sub areas, including
the Tequesta sub -area that encompasses all of southeast Florida which includes the
project parcel (Goggin, ND).
The earliest documented visit to the Miami area by an archaeologist was in 1869 by
Jeffries Wyman, who made some cursory notes on his visit and conducted limited
investigations of aboriginal mounds and middens on both sides of the Miami River (Eck
2000, Gifford 1978).
The earliest systematic investigation of archaeological sites on the Miami River occurred
in 1884 when Andrew Douglass, on his ship Seminole, visited six different mounds in the
area and excavated a sand burial mound south of the mouth of the river, uncovering only
a ceramic bowl. Douglass classified the Miami mounds into two categories: sand and
rock, and was of the opinion that only the sand mounds were of significance (Douglass,
1884). One of the mounds he visited was 8DA14, located near the north boundary of
MDM Miami project, Parcel B, prior to its destruction by the construction of the Royal
Palm Hotel.
3
In 1949, archaeology st Join Go�gin created Florida's first site inventory and recorded
seven sites at or ne:n- the mouth of the Miami River, including the historic village of the
Tequesta, 8DA1I. an the north bank of the river, and 8DA12 at Brickell Point on the
south bank. Goggin and. several of his students did some limited testing at Brickell Point,
although he published no reports on this work (Goggin, ND).
In 1979-1980, the Dade County Historic Survey was conducted, which resulted in the
documenting of several hundred sites across the county and the creation of a county
historic preservation ordinance in 1981 (Carr, 1981b). In 1980, the Dade County Historic
Preservation Division directed salvage excavations at the site of the last Brickell House,
part of 8DA12, prior to the construction of a Holiday Inn (now the Sheraton Hotel), as
well as the recovery of archaeological material during the excavations of pilings for the
Hyatt swimming pool (8DA11). In 2001, an assessment was done in Brickell Park (Can
et al. 2001).
In 1998-1999, the Miami Circle, once buried beneath fill and an underlain black dirt
midden, was uncovered after the demolition of the Brickell Apartments at Brickell Point
(Carr and Ricisak 2000). This represents the northeast component of the Brickell site,
8DA12.
Other field investigations in the project area have included the discovery of scattered
prehistoric artifacts and historic refuse. Specific discoveries have included the discovery
of a Busycon shell adze in Simpson Park by park staff and refuse found by Carr during
new home construction along South Miami Avenue. Larger midden sites have been
investigated along the bayshore (i.e. DA1082, DA1656, and DA2132), and they have
included deep black dirt middens as well as human graves (Carr, 1981 a; Carr, Iscan and
Johnson, 1984). Recent monitoring and testing at an adjacent parcel, 500 Brickell,
uncovered extensive evidence of prehistoric habitation (Carr et al. 2005). No previous
archaeological assessment has been conducted on the subject parcel.

Land Use History
The project parcel lies near the confluence of the. Miami River and Biscayne Bay, but the
proximity to these bodies of water did not greatly influence development of the parcel as
Much as its proximity to the Brickell Avenue. The recorded historyof the parcel begins
in the early days of the City of Miami.
The project parcel was originally part of a 640-acre parcel granted to John Egan in 1808
by the Spanish government, which was deeded to his wife Rebecca after his death
(Robbins et al., 1907). Egan was later mistakenly spelled as Hagan, and the land became
the "Mrs. Hagan Donation" to the City of Miami. This record of title was corrected in
1888. The land was sold to R. Fitzpatrick in 1831, who in turn sold it to William English
in the mid -nineteenth century. The Brickell family bought all of English's land south of
the Miami River when they moved to Miami in December 1870 (Parks, 1987; Gaby,
1993).
At the turn of the nineteenth century, the area south of the river was known as
"Southside." Brickell Avenue'was the northern end of the Coconut Grove Trail, which
was a rocky, dirt road so narrow that passing through the hammock south of the project
parcel was like traveling through a "green wall" (Peters, 1984:20). It was notorious for
being infested with rattlesnakes and panthers. In 1896, William Brickell's ferry service
was the only way to cross the river from the city into the Brickell area. -
The Brickells had the Southside area platted in 1905, and the project parcel became part
of the Mary Brickell Subdivision Addition B-113. In 1906, there were few people living
in the subdivision. Besides the Brickells on Brickell Point, one of the only other
residents was S. Bobo Dean, the editor of the Miami Metropolis, who lived on Nineteenth
Street (now Southeast Seventh Street) with his family so that he could raise cows and
chickens, which he could not do in the city (Peters, 1984).
The first documented resident to live on the project parcel was C. D. Leffler, a grocer,
who lived ; at 1808 Brickell Avenue on Lot 1, as early as 1907 (City Directory, 1907;
Appendix 1). Southside experienced a boom around 1909 and residents soon formed the
Southside Improvement Association, which worked on, among other things, establishing
a school in the area (Peters, 1984).
By 1910, there were eight residences (many with associated garages and smaller
buildings) situated on the project parcel (Sanborn Map Co., 1910). All of the three lots
fronting Brickell Avenue were already occupied with residences by that time. Only one
of the lots on 19th Street (what would become SE 7th Street in 1921) was developed,
while three out of the eight lots on 18th Street (later SE 6th Street) were occupied by
residences.
In 1921 the street names in Miami were changed: 19th Street became SE 7th Street and
18th Street became SE 6th Street. Brickell Avenue remained the same.
6
The first Brickell Bridge was built in 1926, creating easy access to the Brickell area from
downtown Miami. Brickell Avenue was paved in the 1930s (Murrell, 2003), but the
project parcel did not change much through the 1930s and 1940s. Much of the parcel
was buffered from activity on the Miami River to the north by parcels owned by the
Brickell heirs.
The four lots along Brickell Avenue (Lots 1, 2, 19 and 18) remained entirely residential
until the mid-1950s when the Downtown Southwinds Motel was constructed on Lot 18.
By 1960 a large commercial building, the American Bankers Insurance Company of
Florida Building, was constructed across Lots 1 and 2. Both the Downtown Southwinds
Motel and the American Bankers Building are listed as occupying the lots along Brickell
Avenue in 1976, the year of the last published Miami City Directory.
The earliest known structure occupying the project parcel along SE 6th Street (formerly
18th Street) belonged to George Romfh. Mr. Romfh is listed as living at 226 18th Street
as early as 1908. By 1914, two other residences had been constructed along SE 6th
Street. The lots there remained mostly residential until the mid-1950s, although the
Marigold Tea Room was in operation by 1925 at 38 SE 6th. Street (Lot 10). By 1956 at
least two of the buildings listed in the City of Miami Directory on SE 6th Street rented
furnished rooms. Throughout the 1960s and 70s most of the lots were converted from
residential to commercial use, including apartment buildings. By 1971, part of the
project parcel along SE 6th Street was being used as a parking lot.
The land use history for the lots along SE 7th Street included in the project parcel is very
similar to that of SE 6th Street. The first occupant listed in the Miami City Directories as
living at 301 19th Street is G.W. Merrett in 1913. However, a residence is depicted on
the 1910 Sanborn map occupying Lot 11, what would later be listed as 301 19th 'Street.
Also by 1913, H.T. Whaler, a jeweler, is listed as living at 223 19th Street. Mr. Whaler's
home occupied Lot 15. By 1914 two other residences had been constructed along SE 6th
Street. These four homes occupied fairly large parcels that would later be split into seven
smaller lots (Lots 11-17), a division that occurred by 1925. However, it was not until
around 1940 that each lot was occupied by an individual structure.
The lots along SE 7th Street remained residential until the mid-1940s when some of the
homes were apparently converted to and rebuilt as furnished rooms or hotels. The first
hotel listed on SE 7th Street belonged to Fred Maxwell as listed simply as the Maxwell
Hotel in the Miami City Directory for 1945. The Maxwell Hotel remained in operation at
least until 1966. By 1956, four of the seven lots along SE 7th Street were occupied by
either residences renting furnished rooms or by small hotels and motels. It wasn't until
the mid-1960s that other commercial enterprises such as insurance and lawyers offices set
up shop along SE 7th Street. By that time most of the original structures had been
demolished and at least one third of the parcel was used as a parking lot.

Results and Conclusions
An archaeological and historical assessment of the 600 Brickell Plaza parcel indicates that no
recorded archaeological sites occur on the parcel. However, one prehistoric site, 8DA12, occurs
on the 500 Brickell Avenue (Carr et al. 2005) parcel and one historic site, the Ferris House (a.k.a.
the Hattie Carpenter House), was located north of the project parcel at 59 Southeast Sixth Street,
but was subsequently demolished. There is evidence to suggest that archaeological sites,
features, and artifacts might occur on the subject parcel. It would seem unlikely, however, that
well preserved midden deposits have survived on the parcel considering the numerous episodes
of clearing, building, and demolition that have occurred there in the past 100 years, with the
important exception of possible deeper archaeological deposits within solution holes. At detailed
archaeological management plan is provided in the subsequent section.
Archaeological Management Plan
An archaeological and historical assessment of the 600 Brickell Plaza project parcel resulted in
determining that no archaeological materials or sites have been documented on the parcel. Much
of the project parcel is extensively disturbed because of almost 100 years of construction and
demolition activities.
Lots 3, 4, 5 and 12 had the least history of development, and so have the highest potential for
undisturbed archaeological materials. The remainder of the parcel (Lots 1, 2, 6 — 11, 13 — 19)
has a moderate to low potential for containing archaeological materials because construction in
the early part of the last century, and the subsequent demolition episode has disturbed the parcel,
greatly impacting the likelihood of finding intact soils.
Because of the parcel's proximity to documented discoveries of scattered artifacts and sites, a
phase one archaeological testing will be conducted prior to construction activities and
archaeological monitoring by a professional archaeologist will occur during the early
construction phases. Specific management guidelines areas follows:
1. A phase 1 archaeological investigation will be conducted prior to construction
activities to recover and document any possible archaeological materials that occur
on the parcel.
2. All demolition activities including stripping of the asphalt parking lot will be subject to
monitoring by an archaeologist.
3. During initial construction excavation activities including clearing, trenching, tree
removal or relocating and excavating, archaeological monitoring will be conducted
across the parcel. The archaeologist for the City of Miami will be provided with notice of
construction activities by the applicant at least 48 hours prior to the inception of work.
4. If a significant discovery is made, written notice will be provided to the City
Archaeologist within 48 hours of discovery. If human remains are uncovered, then
the provisions of Florida Statute 872.05, the Unmarked Human Graves Act, will apply.
5. Any archaeological sites or features uncovered during construction activities will be
fully documented by the consultant archaeologist.
6. All recovered historical materials will be donated to the Historical Museum of
Southern Florida.
7. Two copies of the final archaeological report will be provided to the City Archaeologist
and to the City Historic Preservation Officer.
A phase 1 archaeological investigation is recommended but an exact schedule of construction
and monitoring has not yet been provided by the applicant.
