Downtown Miami In The 1970’s - a photo on Flickriver

Downtown Miami In The 1970’s

            The iconic Coppertone sign, painted on "Parkleigh House" apartments at 530 Biscayne Boulevard  was a famous landmark in the 1970's. I lived there for several years. Studio apartments, furnished with all utilities and a beautiful view of Biscayne Bay included. The tall brown building at right is the  U.S Freedom Tower.  The historic building was originally home to the "Miami News" then was was a main welcome center for accepting Cuban refugees in the 1960's, then was abandoned and became home to the homeless.  Today it is completely restored and  part of the Miami Dade college system, serving as a museum.  One Biscayne Tower, the tall dark building with communication antennae was recently built but still under construction inside.  Taken with an antique fold-out billows Voigtlander.
