Those old pictures, including the aerials, are something I've never seen before. I could tell at one point in the article that the author was citing Jim's book, which I'm in the middle of reading. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susanna Girl Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Shouldn't the city/county or planning commission ask these developers why they haven't done what was promised in preserving the Bas Relief panel? Seems like it's been quite some time since these new buildings have been finished. While the new project required the demolition of the Art Moderne building, the partners agreed to save as much as they could from the Bas Relief panel, as well as, replicate the entrance and place it at the corner of SW Seventh Street and SW Second Avenue. In addition, there was a suggestion to provide a historic marker along the river recognizing the role that the Miami Shipbuilding Corporation served during World War II. However, to this day, there is no recognition of the historic significance of the parcel of land anywhere on the Latitude on the River complex. While there was no contractual agreement to do what was promised or suggested, it is a shame that a parcel of land with so much history has no evidence of its importance to Miami’s past. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How cool is that, to have your work included as a reference in a publication. Hope he gave you reference credit?
