<strong>MiMo</strong> on the BeAch<br />

north shore and norMandy isles national register districts<br />

Miami <strong>Beach</strong>’s northern neighborhood, known as North <strong>Beach</strong>, has one of the largest and most cohesive concentrations of <strong>MiMo</strong> buildings in South Florida. <strong>The</strong> two districts<br />

that were recently honored with listing on the National Register of Historic Places are made up of over 800 small apartment buildings, hotels and neighborhood commercial<br />

buildings. Unlike the luxury oceanfront hotels located nearby, the North Shore and Normandy Isles districts developed out of a need for modest housing for the burgeoning<br />

postwar population and affordable tourist lodgings for seasonal visitors.<br />

the north <strong>Beach</strong> resort historic district<br />

<strong>The</strong> North <strong>Beach</strong> Resort Historic District is located along Collins Avenue between approximately 63 and 71 Streets. After World War II, this area developed into a major<br />

tourist and entertainment attraction with large, luxurious resort hotels fronting the Atlantic Ocean. <strong>The</strong>se resort hotels usually featured grand lobbies, cocktail lounges, supper<br />

clubs, a variety of thematic restaurants, ballrooms, banquet halls, meeting rooms, retail shops, enormous swimming pools, extensive sundecks, solariums, and a sweeping<br />

array of highly popular private beach cabanas. <strong>The</strong>se grand hotels, which include the Deauville, Carillon, Casablanca, Sherry Frontenac, and the former Monte Carlo, define<br />

the special character of this unique mid-century historic district.<br />

the Morris lapidus/Mid 20th century historic district<br />

<strong>The</strong> Morris Lapidus / Mid 20th Century Historic District is situated within a one-mile long stretch of Collins Avenue between 44 Street and the 5300 block. Twelve of the<br />

fourteen properties located here contain architecturally significant mid-20th century structures, all built between 1954 and 1966. A remarkable five of these are among the<br />

most distinctive, grand, and architecturally dramatic mid-century structures designed by internationally acclaimed Miami <strong>Beach</strong> architect, Morris Lapidus. This extraordinary<br />

collection of Lapidus masterpieces, together with seven mid-century structures designed by other highly respected and successful South Florida architects, embodies the full<br />

aesthetic, social, economic and historic impact that this one single mile stretch would have on the evolution of “Miami Modern” design, and indeed the future of post war<br />

modern leisure and apartment living in South Florida and beyond.<br />
