Built in 1925, the Curtiss Mansion was originally the home of pioneer aviator Glenn Curtiss who, along with James Bright, turned part of their 12,000 acre ranch into the developments of Hialeah and Miami Springs. Curtiss and Bright selected the Pueblo theme for Miami Springs, which was inspired by the architectural vocabulary of Arizona and New Mexico during the 1920s. The Curtiss Mansion is one of the finest examples of this hybrid style that was built in Miami Springs. Today restoration work is underway and when completed, the Curtiss Mansion will be used as a museum dedicated to Glenn Curtiss’ contributions to aviation history and for social events.
