Tinker Field was nominated for Orlando Historic Landmark status by the Historic Preservation Board at the March 5, 2014 meet- ing. The Historic Preservation Board voted to landmark Tinker Field with the historic playing field and 1963 stand at the April 2, 2014 meeting. The property is being nominated under categories (a) and (b) of the landmark criteria contained in Section 65.720 of the Land Development Code (LDC). Specifically, the property is significant for its association with broad patterns of our history, and persons significant to our past.

Section 65.720. Designation of Historic Landmarks The Historic Preservation Board may designate by ordinance any site, building, structure or object as an Historic Landmark only when appropriate documentation demonstrates significance in history, architecture, archaeology, engineering or culture and it pos- sesses integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association and:

(a) That is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or

(b) That is associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or

(c) That embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction, or that represents the work of a mas- ter, or that possesses high artistic values; or

(d) That has yielded or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history. Review Procedure. Ordinarily, properties that are not at least 50 years old shall not be considered eligible for Historic Landmark designation. However, such properties may qualify if in the judgment of the Historic Preservation Board a property has achieved special historical, architectural, environmental or archeological significance as listed under Section 65.720. The Historic Preservation Board shall conduct a public hearing following written notice by mail posted no later than ten (10) days prior to such hearing to the last-known address of the owners of the affected property of the date, time and place of said hearing. In addition, a sign containing the same information shall be placed on the affected property no later than ten (10) days prior to such hearing. Upon recommendation of the Historic Preservation Board, the Municipal Planning Board shall consider the appropri- ateness of such recommendations and may recommend to the City Council adoption of an ordinance designating one or more His- toric Landmarks based on the same criteria considered by the Historic Preservation Board, which criteria are described in this sec- tion. Nomination. Historic Landmarks may be nominated by the Historic Preservation Board, a member of City Council, owner of the proposed landmark or an authorized agent, a government agency, any organization with vested interest in the property and a recog- nized interest in historic preservation, or any person.

T INKER F IELD H ISTORIC C ONTEXT

The National Register of Historic Places nomination notes that major league team to visit Orlando was the Philadelphia Athletics in March of 1915. They played two pre season games against the Birmingham Barons at the Fairgrounds. Orlando was a baseball-starved town and its citizens like what they saw. In June of the same year, Bert Humphries, formerly with the Chicago Cubs, organized the Orlando Baseball Club. When he left in 1920, the club hired to be their new Manager. It was not long before Tinker, also a former Chicago Cub, had the city thinking about . In March of 1921 Tinker’s team played in two exhibition games at the fairgrounds against a group of major league players organized by his friend, . Inspired by the demonstration, the city decided to build a new field. The original field and buildings at Tinker Field were begun in December of 1922. The ballpark was dedicated as “Tinker field” on April 19, 1923 and is emblematic of the rise of professional baseball in the state of and Orlando. The original field and stands, which cost $50,000.00, are located to the south of Lake Lorna Doone. The ballpark was said to be larger than the Field with a distance from home plate to the right field fence being 278 feet and to left field over 310 feet. See Ap- pendix B which is the National Register nomination for additional baseball history and information on the site. Sometime in the early 1930’s, alterations and additions were made to the buildings. The WPA appropriated money for the con- struction of a football stadium to the east of Tinker Field in 1940 which formed the beginning of what is now known as the Citrus Bowl. In 1960 the baseball stands got a $4500 facelift in preparation for the winter training season of the Washington Senators. A new grandstand was designed in 1962 and opened on March 27, 1963. One of the largest baseball crowds in the history of the Page 3 Municipal Planning Board Case Number HPB2014 -00034 May 20, 2014

field came to see the opening game between the Twins and the New York Yankees. The new grandstands were de- signed by Reynolds, Smith and Hills, Architects and Engineers and cost $310,000 with $67,000 spent on lighting. The grandstand is a V-shaped steel beam and truss grandstand that wraps around the home plate and the right and left lines. The lower structural system for the seating areas is precast concrete panels, concrete block and poured concrete. The design is typical of vernacular style grandstands built after World War II. The 1962 drawings by Reynolds, Smith and Hills, Architects and Engineers show one area as “existing press box” which appears to remain today in a somewhat altered state. According to the National Register nomi- nation form, 909 of the grandstand seats came from in Washington, D.C. Griffith Stadium was built in 1911 after a fire destroyed an earlier stadium and the last game was played in 1961 and the stadium demolished in 1965. The historic wood slatted seats are located on the upper levels of the covered portion of the Tinker Field grandstands where they are more protected from the elements. The remainder of the seats use a similar iron, folding frame but the seat slats are made of gold anodized alumi- num which would be typical for the early 1960’s. It is unclear whether all the frames are from Griffith Stadium or the iron frame was still available in 1963. This new grandstand had additional concrete block buildings on the west and south sides that served as ticket booths and concession areas. Tinker field was renovated again in 1990 at a cost of $1.7 million. The earlier concrete block ticket and concessions buildings were demolished and this renovation added the metal roofed, concrete block entry buildings, ticket offices, restrooms and conces- sion stands that surround the west and south side of the 1963 grandstand and create an interior court. Comparing the original 1962 construction drawings and the 1990 construction drawings, it appears that few changes other than a replacement metal roof and wall panels, paint and additional minor modifications were made to the 1963 grandstands. The 1963 open press box portion of the stands has had some minor modifications to openings in the metal wall material at the rear of the stadium at the upper level. The 1963 grandstand continues to have architectural integrity as the modifications made in 1962-63 were not significant.

National Register of Historic Places Listing

Tinker Field was placed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on May 14, 2004 (see Appendix B). The successful nomination was based on the playing fields association with baseball which met criterion a of the National Park Service NRHP crite- ria for designation in the area of Entertainment/Recreation. Additionally, the field was associated with Joe Tinker which met crite- rion b as well (see Appendix A). Only the playing field was included in the NRHP nomination as contributing and the 1963 and 1990 structures were considered non-contributing resources and were included in the boundaries of the nomination because they create the appropriate setting for the ballpark. At the time of the 2004 nomination the 1963 grandstand was not yet 50 years of age. The 12 non-contributing resources surrounding the historic field in the National Register nomination were: concessions buildings (1990), Grandstand (1963), Old Press Box, Dugouts, Metal Bleachers, Practice Pitching Mound, Batting Cages, Wooden Bleachers, Warning Track, Wall and the Clark Griffith Memorial (1968). The metal bleachers, practice pitching mound, batting cages, wooden bleachers, warning track and much of the outfield wall have been removed. The Griffith memorial has been vandal- ized and the plaque is missing; however, the granite monument base with granite baseball remains.

Request for local Landmark status

The Historic Preservation Board has asked for Landmark Status for the entire field area with the historic field, 1963 grandstands and earlier press box as contributing structures. The nomination criteria used by the National Park Service for the National Regis- ter of Historic Places (see Appendix C) is the same as that used by the City of Orlando for nomination of landmarks (see Appendix D) and the field as described in the NRHP nomination would qualify for nomination as an Orlando landmark as it meets criterion a and b of the Orlando Landmark designation code for the association with baseball as an important cultural entertainment and with Joe Tinker for who the field is named. The NRHP nomination dealt only with the association of the field with baseball as a culturally important pastime and people associ- ated with baseball (Joe Tinker) and only included events up until the year of Tinker’s death in 1948. The field continued to host important baseball figures up until 1999. There are other important events such as the speech by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. which was integral to the civil rights movement which is an important cultural event (criterion a).

1963 Grandstand and old press box

The 1963 Grandstand and the old press box meet the age requirements as they are more than 50 years of age. While there is no historic association with Joe Tinker as the Grandstand was built after his death, there were a large number of games and events at this stadium. The continued to play at the field using the 1963 grandstands until 1990. Many well known base- Page 4 Municipal Planning Board Case Number HPB2014 -00034 May 20, 2014

ball players played there during the spring training games. Many Baseball Hall of Famers including , , , Hank Aaron, , Joe DiMaggio and played on Tinker Field after the 1963 grandstand was constructed. The field was also used by the Minnesota Twins minor league team as well as by other teams as part of the Florida State League and the Southern League. The grandstand and old press box are an integral part of that association with the broad cultural history of baseball that was noted in the NRHP nomination. Baseball was an important cultural phenomenon in Orlando and games were advertised on the traffic tower that was originally located in the intersection of Orange Avenue and Central Avenue (See Photo on Page 8).

The old press box was built prior to 1963 and according to the NRHP nomination may date to as early and 1925, however, there is no definitive date of construction. Staff speculates that it may have been built in the 1930’s as part of some work that is noted to have occurred then. Additionally, the design of the building has some elements of the Streamline Modern style popular during the 1930’s. The old press box has been altered with many of the windows filled in with concrete block and the area between the press box and the eastern dugout was covered. The interior of the old press box is in poor condition and has lost much of its historic architectural integrity. The grandstand is in fair condition and it retains much of the architectural integrity that it had in 1963.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave a speech at Tinker Field on March 6, 1964 to a crowd of approximately 2000 people urging “integration now” which is described in a Morning Sentinel newspaper article from March 7, 1964. As noted in the most recent Florida Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan by the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources, King was an important figure as part of the Civil Rights Movement in Florida. King was in Orlando attending a Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and made two appearances. King addressed a workshop at the Shiloh Baptist church and then later spoke at the public rally at Tinker Field. King remained in Florida and participated in the St. Augustine Movement which played a major role in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This was King’s only public speech in central Florida. In October of 1964 King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for combating racial inequality through nonviolence. This event at Tinker Field meets criterion (a) for Orlando Landmark status as King’s visit and speech was an integral part of a broad and important cultural event, the civil rights movement.

Summary

Based on the above analysis staff finds that the playing field at Tinker Field is eligible for local Orlando landmark status as it meets Orlando landmark designation criteria (a) and (b) previously set forth in the National Register of Historic Places nomination. The 1963 grandstand meets Orlando landmark designation criteria under criterion (a) for landmark status. The Old Press Box has been so significantly altered and has lost much of its architectural integrity that it does not meet Orlando landmark designation criteria. The 1990 additions to Tinker Field do not quality for landmark status as they are only 24 years of age. The landmark ordinance should include the entire ball park complex with the historic playing field and the 1963 grandstand as contributing structures and the remaining structures and objects as non-contributing supporting resources.

The Historic Preservation Board voted at the April 2, 2014 meeting to designate Tinker Field as an Orlando Historic Landmark and have the landmark ordinance include the entire ball park complex with the historic playing field and the 1963 grandstand as con- tributing structures and the remaining structures and objects as non-contributing supporting resources.

At the April 28, 2014 City Council meeting, City Council voted to approve the minutes from the April 2, 2014 Historic Preservation Board meeting as summarized by the following excerpt from the minutes: “Commissioner Daisy W. Lynum moved to accept the Historic Preservation Board Minutes of April 2, 2014, approve the recommended approval of HPB Case No. 2014-0031, and ac- knowledge the HPB recommendation for Tinker Field while instructing the MPB to consider recommending an Orlando Landmark designation only for the "diamond" of the existing Tinker Field, seconded by Commissioner Robert B. Stuart. Discussion ensued. The vote was 5-2 with Commissioner Patty Sheehan and Commissioner Samuel B. Ings voting “No.” “

II. NATIONAL REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION

Criteria for Evaluation

The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, and:

A. That are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or

B. That are associated with the lives of significant persons in or past; or

C. That embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or

D. That have yielded or may be likely to yield, information important in history or prehistory.

Criteria Considerations

Ordinarily cemeteries, birthplaces, graves of historical figures, properties owned by religious institutions or used for religious purposes, structures that have been moved from their original locations, reconstructed historic buildings, properties primarily commemorative in nature, and properties that have achieved significance within the past 50 years shall not be considered eligible for the National Register. However, such properties will qualify if they are integral parts of districts that do meet the criteria or if they fall within the following categories: a. A religious property deriving primary significance from architectural or artistic distinction or historical importance; or b. A building or structure removed from its original location but which is primarily significant for architectural value, or which is the surviving structure most importantly associated with a historic person or event; or c. A birthplace or grave of a historical figure of outstanding importance if there is no appropriate site or building associated with his or her productive life; or d. A cemetery that derives its primary importance from graves of persons of transcendent importance, from age, from distinctive design features, or from association with historic events; or e. A reconstructed building when accurately executed in a suitable environment and presented in a dignified manner as part of a restoration master plan, and when no other building or structure with the same association has survived; or f. A property primarily commemorative in intent if design, age, tradition, or symbolic value has invested it with its own exceptional significance; or g. A property achieving significance within the past 50 years if it is of exceptional importance. Municipal Planning Board Case Number HPB2014 -00034 May 20, 2014

APENDIX D CITY OF ORLANDO DES IGNATION OF HI STORIC LANDMARKS CRITERIA Sec. 65.720. Designation of Historic Landmarks.
