Art Deco Historic District

"The first stop for any architecture buff should be Miami Beach’s Art Deco district on Ocean Drive, though the seven-mile-square collection of islands is actually home to 14 distinct historic districts encompassing approximately 2,600 buildings. Take a walking tour by the Miami Design Preservation League to learn about the three most prevalent architectural styles: Mediterranean (popular in the 1920s), Art Deco (built primarily in the 1930s and ’40s), and Miami Modern or Mimo, a tropical version of midcentury architecture that dates to the 1950s and ’60s."
