City Commission in December 1984. In 1992, the U.S. Department

National Register of Historic Places. Platted in the early
1920's by James Nunnally, a candy baron from Atlanta who founded
the Bay Shore Investment Co... Before the first house was sold,
Nunnaly planted 4,000 trees to guarantee a lush environment and
a sense of place. .. He also insisted that the only building
materials be rock, stucco or brick. He was part and parcel of
Miami's great building boom that saw, in1925 alone, Miami's
Freedom Tower, Coral Gables' Biltmore Hotel, Trinity Episcopal
Cathedral and Hialeah Race Track open.
