The Cape Dutch Village was one of a number of
villages planned for the City of Coral Gables by
developer George Merrick in the 1920s to add
diversity to its predominantly Mediterranean
homes.

The assemblage of houses was designed by Marion
Sims Wyeth and constructed by the American
Building Corporation just prior to the hurricane
of 1926.

The Village was patterned on the early farm
houses of the Dutch colonists who settled in Cape
Town, South Africa in the seventeenth century.

the fifth is a freestanding structure located on
the corner of Maya Avenue and Le Jeune Road.

The project involved the complete restoration of
the historic house and included the design of a
stoep- an elevated covered terrace, originally
proposed along the rear façade of the house but
never built, as well as the design of a new
garden and outbuildings.
