Down Town: Miami's Freedom Tower - Cuban Heritage sight

    • The Freedom Tower is located in downton Miami is where the countless Cuban refugees were processed and began their new life in the United States.
    It was here where my family was processed after arriving into the Opa Locka airport and transfered by bus to this magnificent building.
    Today it is a museum and a tribute to the many hardships of the Cuban people and their desire to flee a Communist Cuba.
    It is also architecturally interesting having being designed in a Mediterranean style common to Coral Gables and Coconut Grove and is now on the historical registry.

    Miami's downtown skyline is considered one of the nation's most beautiful, or at least
    most colorful.

    Most of the streets are lined with shops
    selling electronics, laggague and clothing to Latin American visitors, and the place dies very quickly after 5pm, when office towers disgorge their yuppies.

    Brickell Avenue which stretches south of downtown along the bay is one of the most desirable areas to live in the city. The condominium towers compete with each other in architectural igenuity, and the lush tropical landscape along this corridor complements it.

    The museum is a wonderful surprise, directly behind the Miami beach Public Library, west of Collins Park.
    The star of the show here is the tapestry collection, to which the paintings play a definitre second fiddle.

    County Court House
    by pulgaron
    The Dade County Courthouse is significant in the history of government, community development, and architecture in Miami. Built between 1925 and 1928, the Courthouse has continuously served as Dade County’s seat of government since that time. The courthouse was also designed to serve as the Miami City Hall, and facilities included necessary courtrooms, record rooms, judicial chambers, law library, and jails for both government entities. Construction of the Courthouse spanned the “boom” and “bust” years of 1925 to 1928. The Dade County Courthouse is also significant in the architectural history of South Florida and is an outstanding example of the application of Neo-Classical style architecture to a 27 story building. The choice of Neo-Classical design was in keeping with contemporary ideas that the workings of the judicial systems of government were a solemn business to be housed in the dignified manner of the “ancients.” The choice of a skyscraper met the desire for a “modern” building, as well as the County and City’s needs for expandable space.
    Designed by prominent Atlanta architect A. Ten Eyck Brown, who was responsible for numerous courthouses throughout the South, the Dade County Courthouse featured many innovative solutions to meet the needs of local government. As an example, an underground garage provided parking spaces at a time when parking was beginning to be recognized as a problem.
