ANALYSIS
The City of Miami Beach is developing the design and construction documents relating
to the Miami Beach Convention Center Renovation and Expansion Project. Part of the
redesign of the Convention Center is to demolish the existing 21't Street bandshell
structure and recreation center building located within the boundaries of the 21't Street
Community Center Historic Site.
There are currently four buildings located within the boundaries of the 21't Street
Community Center Historic Site, including the Carl Fisher Clubhouse, a theater,
bandshell and a recreation center building. Constructed in 1916, the Carl Fisher
Clubhouse is the oldest municipal structure in the City. This 1-story structure, designed
by architect August Geiger in an eclectic Mediterranean Revival style, is defined by a
central hall, flanked on the north and south by loggias. A theater building and bandshell
structure were added to the site in 1937. The theater, often referred to as the 'Little
Stage', was designed by Robert A. Taylor. Taylor's design incorporates some of the
architectural vocabulary employed by Geiger in the Clubhouse. The 1-story recreational
center building, designed by Norman M. Giller & Associates was constructed at the
southeast portion of the site in 1986.
On January 13, 2015, the Historic Preservation Board reviewed an application by the
City of Miami Beach, requesting a Certificate of Appropriateness for the total demolition
of the existing 21't Street bandshell and the recreation center building, and the
construction of a portion of the Convention Center building and landscape plan located
within the boundaries of the 21st Street Community Center Historic Site. At this
meeting, the Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of the subject
Resolution.
