Ocean Drive, Miami Beach, FL - a photo on Flickriver

**Miami Beach Architectural District** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 79000667, date listed 5/14/1979

Roughly bounded by Atlantic Ocean, Miami Beach Blvd., Alton Rd. and Collins Canal

Miami Beach, FL (Miami-Dade County)

The Miami Beach Architectural District can be divided into three major neighborhood types based on function and use -- the seasonal hotel area, the commercial strips, and the residential area. Architecturally, these zones are easily recognized and coincide with the long-established street configuration. The seasonal hotel area is concentrated along Ocean Drive from 5th Street to 15th Street and along Collins Avenue from 6th Street to 23rd Street.

The Miami Beach Architectural District is significant because the approximately 125 square block area (bounded by 6th Street on the south, Alton Road on the West, Lincoln Road and 23rd Street on the north and the Atlantic Ocean on the east) contains the largest resort architecture in the concentration of the 1920s and 1930s era resort architecture in the United States. More than 800 architecturally significant buildings have been identified which date from the 25-year period (roughly 1920-1945) when the city of Miami Beach was being promoted and developed as a tropical playground.

Ocean Drive (which terminates at 15th Street) has the only hotels which actually face the Atlantic Ocean. These period hotels front Lummus Park, a public park and beach which extends from 5th to 15th Street, in an uninterrupted line of nearly uniform scale, set back and architectural style. (1)
