Delray Beach landmarks showcase rich architectural history

Drive across downtown Delray Beach, and you'll see landmarks featuring all styles of architecture, a reflection of the city's 104-year history.

There's the Sundy House, built in the distinct Florida vernacular style in 1902 and now a popular Sunday brunch spot. The two-story building, and its defining wraparound porch, was once the home of Delray's first mayor.

There's Cannery Row, a residential townhome development, and the Seagate Hotel, each of which showcases shutters and second-story balconies in conformance with the Anglo-Caribbean style.

Now, under a new proposal, the architectural styles downtown may endure for generations to come.
