History

The Art Deco District in South Beach emerged during the building boom of the 1920s and 1930s, when architects embraced sleek lines, pastel colors, and futuristic design to create a modern coastal resort unlike anything in the country. After facing decline in the mid-20th century, the neighborhood was rediscovered by preservationists in the 1970s and 80s, who fought to save its distinctive buildings. Thanks to their efforts, South Beach now holds one of the largest collections of Art Deco architecture in the world, transforming the area into a celebrated historic district and a vibrant destination for visitors today.
