Great Moments in Miami Architecture, as Seen in Original Newsreels
August 3, 2016 by Lucas Lechuga
Miami's most iconic architectural landmarks and styles have stood the test of time, making their lasting aesthetic values and design excellence evident through the lens of history. It's easier to judge a building's importance with a few decades to think about it . Art Deco wasn't always loved, but now it's prized above almost everything else as some of the most innovative and imaginative stuff ever designed in Miami. The Mediterranean Revival Freedom Tower was almost knocked down too, and now it's probably Downtown Miami's most iconic landmark. A symbol of Miami.
So, what did we Miamians think of our architecture when it was new? Check out these old newsreels preserved in the Lynn & Louis Wolfson II Florida Moving Image Archives, at Miami Dade College and preserved on YouTube, and see for yourself.
