The southern end of Miami Beach, Florida, USA contains a rich collection of Art Deco architecture, the most famous of which are a series of small hotels facing towards the beach.
Larger and more flamboyant hotels were built after World War II as Miami Beach expanded to the north. By the late 1970s, development pressures threatened the Art Deco district.
A group of local citizens recognized the uniqueness of the area and sought to preserve the architectural heritage the buildings represented. One of their approaches was to have HABS document the district in large format photographs. Those photographs were widely published and helped to generate national interest in the Art Deco district.
Today, many of the buildings were restored to their original splendor as the area has been revitalized and once again become popular. |
