Herald building is historic on all counts

Posted by admin in Miami Herald, news



OPINION By Fabiola Santiago / fsantiago@miamiherald.com

These walls around me can talk and they have a heck of a story to tell — our history, Miami’s history.

When it comes to making the case for the historic preservation of The Miami Herald building, it doesn’t matter whether you like or hate the newspaper, or whether you like or dislike the look of the Miami Modern architecture of the building.

Preservationists want historic status for The Miami Herald building

Posted by admin in Mid-Century Modern Period, 1945-1970, Genting Group Casino, Miami Herald

BY ANDRES VIGLUCCI The Miami Herald

A preservation group will ask the city of Miami to designate The Miami Herald building, which new owners plan to demolish for a mega-casino resort, as a protected historic landmark.

A leading preservation group says it will submit an application to the city of Miami to have The Miami Herald’s bay-front building designated a protected landmark, setting the stage for intense debate over the structure’s architectural and historic value as well as the effect that saving it would have on a blueprint for a $3.8 billion casino resort on the site.

How will historic sites survive mega-casino?

Posted by admin in Locals, Visitors, Communities

It’s reassuring to see outstanding civic leaders working with the Genting Group on plans to mitigate the impact of the $3.8 billion Resorts World Miami on the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts. However, another important issue that must be addressed is the protection of historic landmarks in the surrounding area.

Included in the Genting Group’s purchase of The Miami Herald site is the historic Shrine Building, also known as the Boulevard Shops.
