Miami Beach Condo Project
An Architectural Tour of Lincoln Road in Miami Beach VideoBob Vila discusses and visits Lincoln Road, with architectural historian Allan Shulman. Carl Fisher, “Mr. Miami Beach”, imagined Lincoln Road as a grand thoroughfare in 1915, along the lines of Fifth Avenue or Avenue de la Paix in Paris. Lincoln Road was home to elite shops, department stores, hotels, and theaters until its decline in the 1950s. It was reborn as a pedestrian mall through the vision of architect Morris Lapidus, who recreated Lincoln Road as a pedestrian mall and city garden for Miami with exotic plants and fanciful pavilions scattered throughout. In this century, Lincoln Road has once again been rediscovered and renewed. Today it is a Miami hot spot for shopping, dining, and people watching. Shulman describes the theatres, hotels, restaurants, and stores and how the buildings have evolved architecturally throughout Miami’s history.
