II. SIGNIFICANCE
Statement of Significance:
The Dade County Courthouse is significant in the history of
government, community development, and architecture in Miami. Built
between 1925 and 1928, the Courthouse has continuously served as Dade
County's seat of government since that time. The Courthouse was also
designed to serve as the Miami City Hall, and facilities included
necessary courtrooms, record rooms, judicial chambers, law library,
and jails for both government entities.
Shortly after its formal dedication on September 6, 1928, the
Courthouse was featured on the cover of The American City, a
publication that showcased the latest developments in urban
architecture and planning. The author boasted that the Dade County
Courthouse "is the tallest structure south of Baltimore, and is
believed to be the tallest municipal building in the United States."
The Courthouse was also prominently featured in such architectural
periodicals as The American Architect and Architecture and Building.
Construction of the Courthouse spanned the "boom" and "bust" years of
1925 to 1928. The completion of the building at a cost of more than
$4,000,000 marked a milestone in the development of Dade County and
reflected the faith and optimism of the community in its future.
According to an article in The Miami Daily News on September 6, 1928,
the Courthouse "stands for something more than a temple of justice, a
place to keep public records and a forum for meetings of public bodies
and of citizens. The tower, reaching 335 feet above the street,
brilliantly lighted each night by electricity and visible for 100
miles by sea and 50 by land, may be regarded as emblematic of the
courageous spirit of citizens in continuing to carry on and to reach
even greater achievements despite temporarily changing business _
conditions which are insufficient to affect the permanent prosperity
of this section."
The Dade County Courthouse is also significant in the architectural
history of South Florida and is an outstanding example of the
application of Neo-Classical style architecture to a 27 story
building. The choice of Neo-Classic design was in keeping with
contemporary ideas that the workings of the judicial systems of
government were a solemn business to be housed in the dignified manner
of the "ancients." The choice of a skyscraper met the desire for a
"modern" building, as well as the County and City's needs for
expandable space.
Designed by prominent Atlanta architect A. Ten Eyck Brown, who was
responsible for numerous courthouses throughout the South, the Dade
County Courthouse featured many innovative solutions to meet the needs
of local government. As an example, an underground garage provided
parking spaces at a time when parking was beginning to be recognized
as a problem.

The building's history, size, use of classical ornament, and
distinctive ziggurat roof have contributed to the local perception of
the Courthouse as a major landmark.
Relationship to Criteria for Designation:

following criteria:
3. Exemplifies the historical, cultural, political, economic, or

III. HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Date of Erection:
1925-1928
Architect:
The Dade County Courthouse was designed by Atlanta architect A. Ten
Eyck Brown. August Geiger of Miami served as associate architect.
Builder/Contractor:
The Dade County Courthouse was built by Fleischer Engineering and
Construction Company.
Historical Context:
When the county seat of Dade County was moved from Juno to Miami is
1899, judicial affairs were conducted from a wood frame building on
the Miami River just east of the old Miami Avenue bridge. A new
courthouse was built on the site of the present courthouse in 1904.
That building was designed to meet the needs of Dade County for 50
years.
A new courthouse was planned in 1925 after the old one became
inadequate. Several locations were considered, but the County later
decided to utilize the site occupied by the old courthouse. The
earlier building was to be torn down from within the rising steel
structure of the newer edifice.
The Courthouse was occupied by both the County and the City of Miami _
until 1954, when the City vacated its space. The jail, originally -
located on the upper tower floors, was closed in 1961. County offices
are currently in the process of moving to the new County
Administration Building. When the move is complete, the Courthouse
will be occupied exclusively by the judiciary for the first time in
its history.

IV. ARCHITECTURAL INFORMATION
Description of Building:
The Dade County Courthouse is a 27 story symmetrical building of steel
frame construction. Neo-Classical in style, the building features a
double square base with a central tower. The Courthouse is faced with
Stone Mountain granite on the first three stories and terra cotta
tiles in an accurate imitation of the granite slabs on the rest of the
building. A stepped pyramid roof or ziggurat tops the structure.
The building mass consists of a three-story base approximately 168
feet square, with a secondary base of three stories about 138 feet
square. From the seventh to twentieth floors, the tower is a square
shaf t. The tower changes to an octagonal shape at the twentieth
floor, with a further decrease in area at the twenty-fourth floor.
The pyramid surmounting the tower is three stories in height.
Surrounding the building and five feet above the sidewalk is a broad
slate -paved terrace. The terrace and main floor, which is six feet —
above the terrace level, are reached by two flights of granite steps
on the north and south facades. This raised first floor provides —
space for a partially excavated basement, used for parking since the
building opened.
The main floor of the building was originally open, equipped with
folding wrought iron and bronze grilles rather than doors for
security. Aluminum and glass revolving doors were installed when the
building was air conditioned in the 1940's. A majority of the
building's original steel casement windows remain, although windows on
several floors have been replaced. The twelfth floor, for example,
now contains bronze finished, aluminum fixed windows with bronze
colored solar glass. Aluminum awning windows are now found on the
seventh floor. Recently, windows on the fourteenth floor were
replaced with new windows that closely replicate the originals in
muntin configuration. The only concession to energy conservation is a
light gray tinting.
Six colossal, fluted Doric columns flanked by two colossal pilasters
highlight the north and south facades of the base. Similar colossal,
engaged columns mark the east and west facades. Above is a full
entablature with triglyphs and metopes, followed by an attic story.
Six engaged columns or pilasters with Egyptian capitals adorn the
secondary base, which is surmounted by a classical balustrade.
Decorative plaques with classical motifs embellish the ninth and nine-
teenth floors. The twenty-third floor is encircled by a classical
entablature, with a pediment and tympanum at the twenty-fourth floor.
Except for the alteration of some windows and doors, the exterior of
F the Dade County Courthouse remains virtually unaltered.

V. PLANNING CONTEXT
Present Trends and Conditions:
The Dade County Courthouse has been continuously occupied as a public
building since its construction in 1925-1928. The Courthouse is
currently in transition, with County offices vacating the building for
the new County Administration Building nearby. The courts will
continue to occupy the building.
The 1979, Dade County commissioned Milton C. Harry and Associates to
prepare a recommendation for the renovation of the Courthouse. The
report recommended the cleaning and repair of the terra cotta _
cladding, new windows that would replicate the originals, a new roof,
and interior renovations. Since that time, the exterior has been
cleaned and repaired, a new roof has been installed, and one floor of _
windows has been replaced. Funds are not currently available to -
complete the restoration. _
Conservation Objectives:
Dade County is to be commended for its restoration program. All work -
to date, unlike earlier work, has been in keeping with the historic
character of the building. It is hoped that the County will continue
to explore the availability of funds to complete the restoration.
These conservation objectives can best be achieved by maintaining the
present zoning of the property. An HC-1 zoning overlay district will
maintain the existing zoning, requiring only the review of physical
changes to the property.
