Event Details

Thanks to the Miami Design Preservation League, Miami remains home to the largest concentration of Art Deco architecture. We will explore the iconic buildings located on Lincoln Rd, Washington Ave., Collins Ave and of course Ocean Drive. Some of the buildings on this tour include the Colony Theater, The Fillmore, Miami Beach US Post Office, The Cadillac, the Breakwater, Hoffman Cafeteria Building and more. You will learn about the key features of Art Deco and the most famous architects. In addition you will learn what lead to the decline of Miami tourism in the 70s and 80s and the people responsible for saving these architectural gems from the wrecking ball.
