The Arnold

Gentile Clientele , Miami Beach
The Arnold
The Arnold Hotel of Miami Beach, Florida was situated by the ocean at 86th Street.

Most exclusive in the North Beach section of Miami Beach, also with a private beach, but more importantly, only Gentile Clientele.

Harry A. Brown was the owner of the hotel and in November 1942 agreed to rent the entire hotel to the army. I wonder what would happen if he found any Jews amongst the soldiers.

The Moors community schedules numerous social events in the summer months!

The Moors community was developed in the early 20th century, a time when Cape Cod was becoming a popular destination for affluent families seeking summer residences. The community was planned and established to cater to an exclusive clientele, with an emphasis on maintaining a certain social and economic status among its residents.

Douglas Manor, a restricted community

Postcards , Residential areas
Douglas Manor, a restricted community
Douglas Manor was a restricted area, meaning off limits to Jews

Douglas Manor, Douglaston, Long Island 

In 1906 the Rickert-Finlay Realty Company bought land from George Douglas, a Scottish ship builder and established Douglas Manor which was to be an exclusive enclave (early deed-restricted suburb). This was known as a restricted community (see the story here).

The company boasted 2500 restricted lots, meaning no Jews (and other minorities). The area was planned according to cooperative ownership of the mile-long waterfront that they had purchased. The New York Times of April 15, 1906, reported that in the first four weeks after putting Douglas Manor lots for sale, they sold off 1386 lots, showing that the restricted idea had merit.
