Miami City Hall is the local government headquarters for the City of Miami, Florida. Since 1954,[2] the city government headquarters has been located in the former Pan American Airlines Terminal Building on Dinner Key, which was designed by Delano & Aldrich and constructed in 1934[3] for the former International Pan American Airport.[4] This building is located in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of the city. Prior to 1954, the city government headquarters had been located in Downtown Miami for 58 years.
History
[edit | edit source]An early city hall located in downtown on Flagler Street (formerly "Twelfth Street") just southeast of the Florida East Coast Railroad Miami depot and designed by Walter De Garmo was in use from 1907 until 1928.[5] Miami's city hall was then relocated one block north, and housed in the newly constructed Dade County Courthouse from 1928 until it was moved to its current Coconut Grove location in 1954.[6]
The terminal building was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on February 20, 1975.[7]
Pan Am's final flight to Dinner Key took place August 9, 1945 as seaplane use decreased with the construction of landing fields (airports) in Latin America.[4]
