History of Davis Harbor

Davis Harbor was developed by Lawrence O. Davis, who had already built his wealth operating a chain of theaters in his hometown of Hazard, Kentucky. Davis had traveled the world seeking the perfect location for his second home, and he found it in South Florida. Lawrence was well-traveled, having spent time visiting California, the Riviera sections of Europe, South America, and the West Indies islands. However, the allure of the subtropical environs of Miami convinced him to make the Magic City his second home.

Lawrence Davis’ foray into real estate development began when he met Fred J. Reppenhagen in the winter of 1937. Reppenhagen was an executive for a hardware wholesale company in St. Louis when he became enamored with Miami in 1925. A few years after he relocated to South Florida, Fred purchased a 10-acre tract of land in 1928 along N.E. 90th Street between N.E. 10th Avenue and Biscayne Bay. The land included a coral-walled inlet of tidal water known as Lake Ward, created during the building boom peak of 1925.

By 1936, Reppenhagen had begun to execute his plan to develop his 10-acre investment. He built a spec home at 9011 North Bayshore Drive, along the bay on the north side of N.E. 90th Street, completed by January 1937. It was during this time that he met Lawrence Davis.
