James & Marie Murph House
Mr. James and Marie Murph moved to Boynton Beach in the 1930’s. At that time, 13th Ave. was an unsurfaced dirt path. Mr. Murph worked at a lumber yard where he had access to sawdust which he used to surface 13th Ave. and other neighborhood streets. Mr. Murph also built a house for his mother on NE 13th Ave.
The James Murph House is a single-family Frame Vernacular residence that was built c.1938 on NE 13th Ave. The house had weatherboard siding, a gable roof, wood frame double-hung sash windows with a 6/1 lighting configuration, louvered shades over the windows, exposed rafter tails, and a car port.
