The historical Freedom Tower building in Miami, Florida was designed by Schultze and Weaver. It is currently being used as a contemporary art museum and a central office to different disciplines in the arts associated with Miami Dade College.

The octagonal tower of the building, featuring Spanish Plateresque detail, was inspired by the Cathedral Tower at Sevilla Cathedral in Seville, Spain.

The Freedom Tower was originally constructed as the headquarters for the Miami Daily News.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the year 1979.

Freedom Tower was made into the reception center for Cuban refugees from 1962 until 1974.

The Freedom Tower was renovated in May 2002 to become a museum honoring the Cuban Americans that immigrated to the USA from Cuba fleeing communism.
