#487 11 Memorial for Mayor Melvin Richard 2005
[Face Relief]
MELVIN J. RICHARD
Melvin J. Richard came to Miami Beach in 1926 at the age of 14. His first labor
for the young City was digging ditches, at 35 cents an hour, to pipe fresh water to
its citizens. In 1934, at age 22, he became the 6th attorney in the City. In 1941,
at age 29, he became City Judge. On June 7, 1949, he was elected to the City
Council, a post he would hold for 16 years. On June 4, 1963 he was elected
Mayor of Miami Beach.
He was known for his uncompromising honesty, and yielded to the control of no
man or woman, except his wife, Janet. He successfully fought to keep the beaches
open to the public, to keep organized crime out ofthe City, to keep Lincoln Road
a pedestrian thoroughfare, and for many noble causes.
He died on February 12, 2001, at age 89, still practicing law, and still speaking out
publicly for causes in which he believed. In all ofthese years he left the City and
his family only once, from 1943 to 1946 to serve the Nation, and the City, as a
decorated naval officer in the European Theater of World War II.
This rotunda was designed and built under his watch as Mayor and Councilman,
between 1962 and 1964, and dedicated to Melvin J. Richard on _, 2004, by a
grateful City.
