Notes

Abstract:
"Fort Dallas (William English Plantation) is significant as a reflection of settlementand military occupation along the Miami River during the mid-nineteenth centuryand for its association with William English, one of Dade County’s early pioneers.The building is also an outstanding example of early masonry vernaculararchitecture and is one of only two buildings from this era to survive. Fort Dallas (William English Plantation) is the earliest surviving example of native limestone construction in Miami and represents one of the earliest manifestations of the development of a South Florida architectural vernacular. The building is one of only two structures which survive from this period and is therefore unique in Miami’s collection of historic properties"--From http://www.historicpreservationmiami.com.
