The building is an exceptional example of Art Deco-style architecture constructed in Miam i
Beach during the 1930s. Designed by the prominent local arch itectural firm of Kiehne! & Elliott
in 1935, the building features symmetrica l facades, a stepped ziggurat parapet wall at roofline,
rounded corner balconies with wrought iron balustrades , horizontal stripe, bas relief ornament,
flagpole, oolitic limestone frame around entryway on Park Avenue , chevron banding, bas relief
ornament and abstract geometric patterned balustrade on ground level. In 1942 , the United
States Army Air Forces Technical Training Command took control of the then hote l which was
used as housing for soldiers training for World War II . The hotel was returned to its owners on
July 27, 1944 .
Although the building was originally used as a hotel, it was later util ized as a residential
building when acquired by Miami Beach Community Development Corporation in May 2007.
The Barclay Plaza Apartments later fell in disrepair and substantial renovat ions were needed .
The City acquired the vacant building on January 30, 2015. The building was subject to arson
