The historic Shrine Building is a two
–
story, 20,571 sq. ft. building constructed in the then popular Art Deco
architectural style of the 1930’s. Once dubbed the “Fifth Avenue of the South”, it was part of a striking ensemble
of modern retail buildings that
lined the newly created Biscayne Boulevard in Miami, FL and defined it as a high
end shopping district. The quality of the design is particularly noteworthy because of its ornamentation, use of
coral rock, veneer and inclusion of sculpted Seminole Indians
are architectural characteristics specific to South
Florida.
The restored building serves is awaiting its new tenant with all fresh interior paint, new mechanical systems, new
hurricane windows and restored marble floors
