The museum will be housed in the old police and fire building at 2801 Salzedo block north of Miracle Mile. De- s.6ned by Phineas Phast in 1939, the building is on the National Register of Historic Places. Since 1975, it has been used as office space for the city and other tenants. "An architect has been hired," said Vice Mayor Chip Withers, "and the public works and other departments are all just about moved out." Mr. Withers said he first envisioned a city art and history museum in 1994. Donna Lubin, the city's director ofhis- toric preservation, said Jorge Hernandez of Jorge Hernandez Architects has been hired to design the project. Mr. Hernandez, a full professor at the University of Mi- , also designed the Brickell Bridge. Mr. Hernandez said he has put together a design team that includes historian Ellen Uguccioni and architect Carter Quina. The project involves about 13,000 square feet, Mr. Hernandez said. He said 2,000 square feet will be earmarked for perma- nent exhibition space and a similar amount for open gallery space. "We're also discussing the notion of display spaces permeating the whole build- ing," he said, "with some artifacts exhib- ited in the community meeting room, the lobbies and so on." The group has just stated brainstorm- ing, he said. He added that he would like to restore the interior to its original state as much as possible. "This is a very unusual building, with solid coral walls within and without," Mr. Hernandez said. `But over the years, the coral surfaces of the interior have been covered and obscured. "There are rooms that were altered or changed or lost. We would like to bring them back.

PLEASE ALSO TAKE NOTICE THAT at the July 22, 2004 Commission Meeting, the City Commission also scheduled a Special Commission meeting for Tuesday, September 7, 2004 at 10:00 a.m., to deal with zon- ing issues and other items referred by the City Manager. All interested persons are invited to attend. Any person or persons, wish- ing to appeal any decision made by the City Commission with respect to any matter considered at these meetings, may require a verbatim record of the proceeding upon which the appeal is based. In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, persons needing special accom- modations to participate in these proceedings may contact the Office of the :ity Clerk no later than two (2) business days prior to the proceeding at (305) 250-5360. Priscilla A. Thompson City Clerk (#14853) could be restored as a community meeting room, and the fire -truck garage would be appropriate as a gallery space. "A space next to the tower could house one of the original pink Coral Gables buses." A parking lot north ofthe building will be transformed into a public garden, pos- sibly a sculpture garden, he said. "This could be a jewel for the whole city," Mr. Hernandez said, "because Coral Gables has few outdoor public plazas." Ms. Lubin said a parking garage is under construction across the street. The museum's board is working with the Historical Museum of Southern Florida on the permanent Coral Gables exhibit, she said. After an international search, Ms. Lubin said, the city has hired as curator Mary Agnes Beach of Hickory, NC, "whose strength is programs and exhibitions." A $300,000 grant from the Florida De- partment of State for restoration of the building will be used to put up a new roof and do shell improvements, she said. If all goes according to schedule, a capital campaign to raise private funds should kick off at the beginning of next year, said board member Joseph M. Matthews, a partner at Colson Hicks Eidson who will coordinate the effort. "This renovation ofan historic building is a stepped process," he said, "and the precise amount of funding required will not be finalized until we get a really good handle on the costs of the renovation. "My hope is that by the time we have finalized that total with the city's commit- ments, state grants and already -existing support, we will have well over 50% of what we need committed." Mr. Withers said he is optimistic that construction will be completed by fall 2005. "Construction isn't dictating the open- ing now," he said. "We want to open with Class AAA traveling exhibitions as well as our own storyline exhibition. That will drive the opening date." A' las-eru deslgrr match: the feel told & Warm Cool Cry. SSJ.
