Miami Beach – Art Deco District
Miami Beach’s Art Deco District (aka South Beach) comprises of nearly 1000 Art Deco, Mediterranean, and Streamline Moderne buildings. The city created stringent preservation laws in the late 1970’s that saved many of these structures from the wrecking ball. The majority of these buildings have been restored to their former glory.

Fellow forumer UncleRando was in town and we set out on a tour of the Deco District. The weather was less than ideal for photography and Mother Nature cut the tour short. Nevertheless I was able to get in some decent shots.

Lincoln Road Mall











Washington Ave.





Been there done that...









Ocean Drive





































Collins Ave.











The Loews Hotel









The beach near 13th St.







Extras:

Downtown Miami



The Port of Miami and Downtown

I never realized Miami Beach was around that long. I'm glad they were able to preserve the older structures. Nice shots!! Great tour!!

I think South Beach is easily the crown jewl of architecture in all of Florida. I LOVE everything about it. Art deco is so sweet!

South Beach is stunning. The pastel colors, sleek lines, and palm trees are a great match.

As dorky as this is, I recognize a lot of these buildings from watching Miami Vice.

God bless art deco

Nothing like all the Art Deco on South Beach. Tons of it and all looking fantastic. Only in Miami can you get away with those pastels and neon. Great pics and Thanks for taking the time to shoot and post!
