Miami Shores has always played an important role in
the formation of the Miami area's growth and stability.
'Biscayne', as it was named in the early 1870's, was
the first county seat, and had the privilege of having
the first road in the county traverse it. Throughout
its early years, Biscayne was the home to different
industries of various intensities, many farming.
In the 1920's, the housing boom impacted the area
and Biscayne became Miami Shores, "America's
Mediterranean ", introducing an Italian inspired de-
velopment with inland waterways. Similar develop-
ments were growing in the area such as Coral Ga-
bles and Miami Beach, with the same theme. These
developments would impact the real estate market
and alter the architectural character of South Florida
and the entire region.
Growth plans changed after the hurricane of 1926,
and the Great Depression would have a vast
effect on the area, when construction came to a
standstill. Miami Shores had been mostly built out
by the sixties but commercial development in sur-
rounding areas, especially to the north, in the 1980's
would challenge the continued prosperity of the Mi-
ami Shores downtown area.
Currently, Miami's downtown is facing an extensive
period of new construction and redevelopment.
The Village is concerned with the redevelopment
of their Downtown and how this has and will impact
the character of main street. With this in mind, the
Village of Miami Shores has hired Redevelopment
Management Associates, RMA, as consultants to
evaluate and assist in the implementation of Archi-
tectural Guidelines. These Guidelines will safeguard
the architectural elements that have distinguished
the downtown as the heart of their village and en-
sure that any new construction that will be built on
Main Street will be designed in a consistent style.
As part of their study, RMA conducted a survey of
all the buildings on the main street in an effort to
HISTORY OF MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE
The earliest "pioneer" settlers and those thought to
be the first inhabitants to the Village were the Stur-
divants, Barnotts, Potters, Sears, Woods, and Hunts
families. These early homesteaders were instru-
mental in founding the area, which was named Bis-
cayne in the early 1870's. William H. Gleason and
William H. Hunt moved from the early city center,
downtown Miami, transferring the Miami Post office
and renaming it the Biscayne Post Office. Since the
Dade County government was often where Gleason
was, Biscayne became the titular county seat. How-
ever, by the 1880's, most of the early inhabitants
were gone, forcing the post office to close by 1888.
The first road in Dade County from Lantana to Lem-
on City was built in 1892, crossing through Biscayne,
giving ample reason to reopen the post office. The
earliest types of commerce included a starch mill, to-
mato packing plant, saw mill, a pineapple plantation,
and a grapefruit grove. Later a railroad depot and
school were built.
The earliest significant landowners were Major Hugh
Gordon, who owned land bordering the bay, and T.V.
Moore whose holdings were in what is the Village
business district. Major land acquisitions of Moores'
land by Lee T. Cooper in 1922, then by the Shore -
land Corporation in 1924, would change the name
from Biscayne to Bay View Estates and finally to Mi-
ami Shores,
Miami Shores was established in a time when South
Florida was booming. Visionaries such as George
Merrick founded and was building Coral Gables,
Carl Fisher was building Miami Beach, and devel-
oper and owner of the Shoreland Company's, Hugh
Anderson, had set his vision on what he called Miami
Shores. Planned was a community of magnificent
Mediterranean Revival homes, lushly landscaped
streets and world -class recreational facilities, de-
scribing it as "America's Mediterranean ". In 1925,
Anderson chose an area that hugged the shores of
Biscayne Bay, just north of the City of Miami, with
acres of farms, pineapple fields and avocado groves,
previous homes to pioneers since the 1800's. Canals
were dredged, the shoreline was filled, streets were
built, and new homes were constructed in anticipa-
tion of the new town.
determine which style would be most appropriate for
the Village to regulate for any new construction to
take place in Downtown Main Street.
Results showed that the buildings are mostly one
and two stories in height, with varying styles. Al-
though most buildings in the study area are a fu-
sion of styles, strong distinct components can be
traced and identified as part of particular architectur-
al movements.
The originally intended predominant style in the Vil-
lage was Mediterranean Revival, many residential
examples still exist. Art Deco was introduced with
the construction of the elementary school. In the
downtown, however, there were a variety of addition-
al styles that emerged as time progressed and na-
tional sentiment evolved. By the 1940's and 1950's,
these styles were mainly Mediterranean Revival (re-
maining buildings in this style have been renovated),
Commercial Vernacular, Streamline Modern, Miami
By 1926 one hundred homes were under construc-
tion, and an additional one hundred were being
planned. While the commercial building program
was in progress, sidewalks and roadways were be-
ing laid out and lighting and landscape work was well
underway. Record setting sales and resale of proper-
ty were being recorded.
The devastating hurricane of 1926, along with other
unforeseen circumstances, led to Shoreland's bank-
ruptcy the following year. In 1928, the development
was taken over by the Bessemer Properties and the
Phipps family of New York. Leading the project was
Roy H. Hawkins, who by 1931, applied for and was
granted the charter to make Miami Shores an official
municipality.
Although the Great Depression and World War II
brought growth to a halt, construction exploded
thereafter, combining a mix of residential architectur-
al styles. Growth was steady in the following years
and the community emerged as the type of devel-
opment Shoreland had envisioned, with a variety of
architectural styles instead of the original Mediterra-
nean Revival vision.
Modern or MiMO and Mid Century Modern.
The 1960's brought on the construction of the bank build-
ing in the Colonial Revival style, following the then popu-
lar sentiment of a civic and historical presence. This style,
however, is not a vernacular to the South Florida region,
using materials and architectural vocabulary more appro-
priate to the northern climate.
At the conclusion of the Architectural Analysis, RMA host-
ed a public meeting for all residents and presented the in-
formation, with the goal of creating a style guide for new
construction and renovations in Downtown Main Street.
After the presentation of the analysis on the character of
main street, the residents agreed that the Streamline Mod-
ern and Miami Modern (MiMO) styles were the most ap-
propriate for future construction, since these seemed to be
the most influential on the main street. Following, is a brief
history of the Village, continued with a brief description of
the Streamline and MiMO styles, follow by the architectural
guidelines for both styles.
The community retains many of its original characteristics
such as location, serviced by major highways, tree -lined
streets, a downtown area, well- maintained homes, efficient
services and a variety of community activities. The con-
struction of important community institutions such as the
Village Hall, the Country Club, the Community Center, and
Brockway Library signaled the completion of Miami Shores
as a community by the 1970's.
Commercial development on Biscayne Boulevard and in
Aventura would affect the downtown business district in the
1980's. It was truly only recently that years of challenging
times seemed to end for downtown, with the reconstruction
of NE 2nd Avenue and a renewed desire amongst commu-
nity leaders to bring "Village Place" back to life.
Today, Miami Shores has over 10,000 residents, and main-
tains itself as a modern active community, with active city
life, a responsive local government and safety program. To-
day the village calls itself the "Village Beautiful ".

Streamline Moderne: The introduc-
tion of this style is described as another
movement aimed to bring American Archi-
tecture closer to the mainstream of Mod-
ernism. The term "streamline" refers to the
shape that facilitates the rapid displacement
of a body through air or liquid. As speed and
travel were among the growing influences
of society in the 1930s, designers depicted
the laws of aerodynamics in their brand of
architecture. Building forms are inspired by
automobiles, trains, ocean liners and air-
planes. Building massing in abstract, simpli-
fied forms, absent of most applied decora-
tion is the main vehicle for the Streamline
Moderne.

MiMO: Miami Modernist Architecture or better known as
MiMO, is a style of architecture from the mid 1940's to the late
1960's that originated in and is unique to Miami and Miami
Beach as a resort architecture. Rooted in the Bauhaus move-
ment of early 20th - century Germany, it was a popular architec-
tural style after WWII, signaling an era of prosperity, optimism.
Futuristic symbols, added glamour and fun, bringing material
excess to otherwise stark, minimalist, and efficient styles.
MiMO building examples were heavily concentrated in middle
and upper Miami Beach along Collins Avenue, as well as, along
the Biscayne Boulevard corridor starting from Midtown, through
the Design District and into the Upper East side. The MiMO His-
toric District runs roughly from 50th Street to 77th Street along
■
Biscayne Boulevard. Today, the area along Biscayne Bou-
levard is the designated MiMO Biscayne Boulevard Historic
District or also known as "MiMO on BiBO ", for "Miami Modern
on Biscayne Boulevard ".
One of the most famous architects of the style, Morris Lapi-
dus, whose Fontainebleau, Eden Roc, Seacoast Towers,
Deauville, and Di Lido (now the Ritz - Carlton South Beach),
set the stage for MiMO. Other prime examples of "MiMO" ar-
chitecture include the Fontainebleau Hotel, Eden Roc, Sea-
coast Towers, Deauville, and Di Lido hotels by famed archi-
tect Morris Lapidus and Norman Giller's Carillon Hotel which
was voted Miami Beach's "Hotel of the Year" in 1959, and the
original Diplomat Hotel in Hollywood, Florida.

Streamline Modern influence buildings are characterized as
having an abstract massing, and simplified forms. Any applied
decoration is abstract, using shapes in their purest forms.
At the time this style became popular, during the 1930's, the on-
set of new transportation methods were highly publicized, thus
inspiring building forms in the shapes of automobiles, trains,
ocean liners and airplanes. The angularity of the Art Deco style
was replaced by soft forms and rounded corners.
Building facades were designed in a symmetrical manner, inte-
grating various size and proportions of openings in the compo-
sition.
Spire or trylon I
Porthole wind(
Casement wind
Rounded built
corner
Horizontal compositions, banding of windows, racing stripes and
flat roofs with parapets were among the major features of this
architectural movement.
A major characteristic of these buildings was the cantilevered
slabs which served as canopies or "eyebrows" over the win-
dows, reducing the penetration angle of the sun. Porthole win-
dows, pipe railings, sun decks, and flag poles were some of the
ocean liner symbols widely employed.
Materials such as vitrolite, glass blocks, chrome, stainless steel
and terrazzo, neon and indirect lighting, were all important ele-
ments of the Streamline Modern style.

Miami Modern, better known as MiMO, is a style of
Architecture from the Post World War II era (1945 to
mid- 1960s). Originated in Miami and Miami Beach, it is a local
adaptation of the various modernist architectural movements
that flourished in other parts of the world combined with the pop-
ular shapes comprising the current events of the time.
Buildings typically responded to the subtropical climate and the
flourishing resort economy, characterized by courtyard style
buildings, with wide openings, ambitious shapes and use of
materials. Typical style incorporated playful architectural fea-
tures like acute angles, delta wings, sweeping curved walls, and
soaring pylons. Building shapes were characterized by the use
of poured concrete accordion -like folded plane roofs and walls,
acute or subtle angles, dynamic parabolas, delta wing shapes,
sweeping curved walls, and soaring pylons.
Casement windows
Decorative railing
Rounded Eyebrow
Steel Pipe Columns
Materials such as plate glass, steel pipe columns, stone, glass
mosaic tile, architectural screen block played important roles in
establishing the modernistic effects of the style.
The main facade was a composition of mixed textured surfac-
es (i.e. stucco with stone, brick, or tile, as well as contrasting
smooth and patterned stucco surfaces). The style featured ma-
terials that lent themselves to the tropical environment such as
brise - soleils, or architectural screen block, in a wide
variety of design patterns lending itself so well to natural air flow.
Other commonly occurring design elements and materials were
architectural accents with exotic themes, and wall sculptures
in relief. Cast concrete decorative panels were displayed with
geometric patterns.
