Ocean Drive in the Art Deco District
|
Description:
Step back in time to the 1870’s, and see how three coconut trees inspired an investment opportunity. Hear about a fishing trip that led to a hotel, and how race car drivers Eddy Rickenbacker and Carl Fischer got involved. WWII Soldiers rented rooms for twenty cents, but in the 1960’s, renovations sparked an effort to preserve 5 architectural styles, popular between the two world wars, collectively called “Art Deco”.
We will drive along the cafes of Ocean Drive, and the shops of Collins Avenue and Lincoln Road. See the influence of the machine age, and the construction elements brought from the transatlantic ocean liners.
Also, we will see a new architectural movement underway, known as "Miami Modern", or "MiMo"!
See why fashion designers, models, photographers, artists, and celebrities can’t resist living and playing in “South Beach”. It’s all about… style!
