BLACK POLICE PRECINCT & COURTHOUS
MUSEUM RESTORATION
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND:
Located at 470 NW 1 11h Street in Overtown, the City of Miami Black Police Precinct was
built in 1950, during segregation, for the black officers who were employed by the City
of Miami Police Department. It was unique, in that it had a courtroom on the second
floor, where Judge Lawson A. Thomas, the first Black Judge in the South, presided along
with a Black Court Clerk, and a Black Bailiff. During its peak, 85 Black Officers worked
out of the Precinct. In 1962, it closed and the officers were integrated with the Main
Station at IIth Street and Northwest 12`h Avenue. Today, thanks to the vision and
sacrifice of the City of Miami Retired Police Officers Community Development
Association, and total support from Commissioner Arthur Teele and the City's
Administration, the former Precinct building is about to be restored into a full service
museum and tutoring center with outreach programs serving children and citizens in the
community. Area schools include Booker T. Washington High, Dunbar Elementary,
Douglas Elementary, and Phyllis Wheatley Elementary Schools.
SCOPE OF WORK:
The project consists of the furnishing of all labor, materials and equipment for the
historical restoration of the existing abandoned building to its original condition. The
scope of work includes structural repairs and enhancements as required, new mechanical,
electrical, light safety systems, plumbing, roofing, windows, doors, as well as an elevator
for handicapped access.
