The Bryan Building, which has also been known as the Shepherd Building and as the DeSoto Hotel, is a historic site in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It is located at 220-230 Brickell Avenue. In 1997 it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.[1]

Building

It is a two-story masonry vernacular building. It has brick detailing and brick columns in its front facade.[3] The brick facade is unusual in south Florida, most buildings there are constructed of poured concrete or hollow clay tile.[3] It is a rectangular building that faces west with five storefronts, separated by brick pilasters that have large plate glass windows.[3] The upper floor has eight windows with brick framing resembling a simplified Greek key design.[3] The first and second floor are divided by a cast stucco course with a projecting pediment, below which is an arched door.[3] The south side of the building has four ground floor windows and two doorways the back one leading to a stairway to the second floor and the one on the southwest corner served as the entrance to offices.[3] On this side the first and second floors are divided by a single band of raised brick. The upper story windows are detailed similarly to those on the west side.[3] Primary access to the upper floors has been via a stairway inside the west-facing arched doorway.[3] The upstairs floor and ceiling were constructed of Dade County Pine.[11]

History

It was built by Thomas Bryan after the 1912 fire in downtown Fort Lauderdale and it is the least altered building of its era in the area.[3] Thomas was the son of Nathaniel Bryan who supervised construction of the extension of Henry Flagler's Florida East Coast Railway from West Palm Beach to Miami.[3] He was active in the development and city affairs of Fort Lauderdale and is his activities helped lead to the establishment of Broward County.[3] The area the building is located in was Fort Lauderdale's original downtown commercial center.[3]

Usage

The Post Office was located in the building from 1914 to 1925, about this time The Fort Lauderdale Bank also occupied the ground floor.[3] From the 1920s to the early 1990s the second floor was a hotel or rooming house.[3] Hotels in the building included the Hotel DeSoto (1919 to at least 1927), the Lee Hotel (1936-1938), the Hotel Boriss (1940-1946) and the Dorsey Hotel (1950-1965) a men only hotel with a cowboy motif.[3] The law offices of attorney and City Judge Ennis Shepherd occupied a portion of the ground floor from 1947 to the early 1900s.[3][20]{{notetag|name=note|A newspaper article gives the dates that Ennis Shepherd had an office in the building as 1944 to 1996.[1]}} Read's Dry Goods where locals often purchased materials to make clothes, other dry goods merchants, beef purveyors, real estate offices and insurance agencies were among other tenants.[3] Fort Lauderdale's downtown business district declined in the 1960s due to suburbanization.[3] The building got a historically appropriate renovation about 1998.[3][11] The renovation and application for designation as historic was part of a deal a local developer made allowing the demolition of another old local building, the Oliver Building.[26]
