85 items (2 linear in.).
Papers arranged in folders by subject; $3 photographic prints arranged

Correspondence, pamphlets, photographic prints and clippings document
Charles Deering's interest in plant introduction, research and cultivation

states; material on the building of the Cutler dwelling, with letters
from its architect, Phineas Paist; and a folder of pamphlets issued by
National Audubon Society, chiefly dated 1912-1916.
Industrialist Charles Deering (International Harvesters) built his first
home in Miami in 1910, when he was not quite 60. This was Buena Vista,
located in what is now Bay Point. By 1914 he was buying land in south
Dade County and in 1920 was owner of 380 acres of bayfront in Cutler,
where he added a three story stone house to existing buildings. Among
these was the old Richmond Inn which had been in business before the turn
of the century. After his death in 1927 his widow continued living at
the Cutler estate until her death in 1943. In 1985 the Nature Conservancy
purchased it as a nature preserve and historic site. It is now managed
by Dade County Parks.

Buena Vista estate ; Japanese life and customs : scrapbooks, 1900-1909?
2 v.
Folder of preconstruction sketches for the Deering estate on the bay north
of Miami, and a turn of the century photograph album on Japan. Buena Vista
material includes two floor plans headed: Preliminary studies of house
for Mr. Charles Deering, Miami, Fla.; a photographic print of a building
model; and eight watercolor sketches of different rooms, elevations, etc.,
signed by the architect Clinton McKenzie of New York City. The Japanese
album consists of a series of hand colored photographic prints showing
traditional Japanese artisans, farmers and street scenes. They are numbered
in Japanese and appear to have been commercially produced.
Charles Deering's first Miami residence, Buena Vista, was built in 1910
in what is now Bay Point. The Japanese album is not dated, but Deering
was an escort for Ulysses S. Grant on an Asian tour in the 1880s and may
have made other visits to Japan. The content of the prints, many of which
are faded, would be compatible with a span of years around the turn of
the century.

By 1920 Charles Deering had completed his purchase of 380 acres of South
Dade land. The 1923 May 8 letter shows that ten boxes of furnishings were
being shipped from New York to Evanston, and another 18 sent to Miami,
probably for the new property, where Deering would add a three story stone
residence to the existing wood frame Richmond Inn.
