<strong>MiMo</strong> on the BeAch DiStrictS north shore and norMandy isles national register districts 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 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 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 postwar population and affordable tourist lodgings for seasonal visitors. the north <strong>Beach</strong> resort historic district <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 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 clubs, a variety of thematic restaurants, ballrooms, banquet halls, meeting rooms, retail shops, enormous swimming pools, extensive sundecks, solariums, and a sweeping 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 the special character of this unique mid-century historic district. B i s c a y n e B a y the Morris lapidus/Mid 20th century historic district <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 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 most distinctive, grand, and architecturally dramatic mid-century structures designed by internationally acclaimed Miami <strong>Beach</strong> architect, Morris Lapidus. This extraordinary collection of Lapidus masterpieces, together with seven mid-century structures designed by other highly respected and successful South Florida architects, embodies the full 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 modern leisure and apartment living in South Florida and beyond.
