Its Dinner Key site directly on a sheltered portion of Biscayne Bay in Miami was chosen by Pan American Airways on the advice of Charles Lindburgh who saw the potential of Miami as a 'gateway' between the Americas. The Terminal building was designed in the Streamline Moderne architectural style by the firm of Delano and Aldrich, its principals graduates of the Ecole des Beaux Artes. The facilities at Dinner Key were the first constructed exclusively for commercial passenger seaplane service and served as a model for those that followed in Rio de Janeiro, New York, and San Francisco. The Terminal played key roles in commercial aviation, Florida tourism, international trade, and statecraft. From the waters outside, a Boeing Clipper took President Roosevelt on his historic flight to meet with Churchill at Casablanca. That Conference led to planning for D-Day and the liberation of Europe. After World War II, Pan American Airways moved to Miami International Airport and the City purchased the property in 1950. Since 1954 the building has served as Miami City Hall. The threats to this historic building include storm surges and the longer term and cumulative effects of wind and saltspray. The Terminal's basement has flooded many times over the years with the most siginificant damage arising from Hurricane Andrew in 1992. The hurricane allowed seawater and wind to destroy historical records stored in the basement. At that time and subsequent, structural columns were found with cracked concrete casings suggestive of spalling with fissures along their vertical axes, posing concerns of failure given the exposure of structural steel to chlorine from saltwater. The project has two inter -related elements to safeguard the structure from storm surge and wind damage. The first element is assessing damage to structural columns by removing their concrete casings to examine for corrosion, and to replace columns subject to failure. Structural engineers will develop solutions to storm -proof the basement. The second element adds to storm and wind protection of the structure by replacing the entrance 'building front' with impact resistant glass doors and windows that meet 1 00-year storm code specifications. 7) Attach a 3x5 photograph (tithe principal view of the property See ATTACHMENT E Florida Department Of State Division of Historical Resources Form HR3E21R0402 (Effective April 2002) HISTORICAL RESOURCES GRANTS-IN-AID APPLICATION PAGE 2 8) PROJECT LOCATION INFORMATION: STREET ADDRESS and CITY: 3500Pan American Drive COUNTY WHERE PROJECT IS LOCATED: Miami -Dade County COMMUNITY POPULATION 362.470 9) APPLICANT INFORMATION: ORGANIZATION NAME: City of Miami ADDRESS: 444 SW 2"d Avenue. 8th floor CITY: Miami STATE: EL ZIP 33130 COUNTY POPULATION 2.253.362 TYPE OF APPLICANT: ❑ NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION NAME AND TITLE OF ORGANIZATION'S CHIEF OFFICER: Manuel A.

The effects of structural damage from past flooding will be addressed by examining structural columns and replacing those that could fail given corrosion caused by the interaction of chlorine from saltwater on exposed steel. The project addresses the longer term threat from flood and storm surges. These threats will be mitigated by the proposed installation of storm doors and windows as well as other water -proofing (epoxy coating on columns and sealants on exterion windows/doors.) Further, the non -original building front' entrance way will be replaced by impact -resistant glass doors and windows built to 100-year flood specifications. 15) Describe the Project Activities completed to date: The City of Miami has undertaken a number of assessments of the structure related to the project. Further, it has repaired the roof and removed materials water -damaged from storms. The new roof adds to the exterior's ability to withstand rain and wind damage. The project now will assess structural conditions and undertake remedial construction when necessary. In a previous phase of restoration, the City — with support from the State -- has restored ceiling paintings, murals, and beams inside the Terminal's ticketing area -- (now the City Commission Chamber) and made ocher interior restorations that directly support the proposed Phase II, exterior restoration and structural stabilization.

Future maintenance costs will be approximately 2% to 5% of the building replacement cost based on best management practices norms for historic structures. All maintenance will be funded by the City of Miami and provided by its General Services Administration. 18) Provide a brief description of the Educational Benefits this project will have on the local community and the state. The benefits will be substantial. The restoration effort itself serves to educate the public about the value of preservation and local government's role in setting an example by safeguarding its historic legacy. The capital and human resources commitment made thus far by the City and the State for this facillity exceed $600,000. As a young city, Miami has relatively few sites protected by ordinances or by listing in the National Register. This project will encourage owners of historic properties to seek out preservation status for their holdings. Currently, the building's interior is itself an educational exhibit of aviation history that featuring the restored ceiling art, polychrome beams, and other decorative features when the Terminal was a key aviation hub. Historic photos and artwork are accessible to the public. The project will demonstrate the Tong -term value of adaptive reuse by providing a highly visible and public example. Further, the Terminal may serve as a venue for lectures and presentation on aviation history, tourism, and Pan American Airways. South Florida has several historical societies, clubs, and former airline employee associations who would benefit from the Terminal as an accessional programming venue. ] 9) What is the estimated Annual Visitation for the project site? Approximately 40,000 to 50,000 visitors HISTORICAL RESOURCES GRANTS-IN-AID APPLICATION PAGE 5 20) Provide a brief explanation indicating the direct impact of this project on minorities and the disabled. Include any alterations to the site that will make the site more accessible to the public. Minorities make up almost 90% of the residents of the City of Miami (65.8% Hispanic, 22.3% African -American, and 0.9% Asian and other minorities). Because City Hall serves the entire population of Miami, the rehabilitation of the building will have a direct impact on minorities. The building is accessible to persons with physical handicaps. A recent restoration project improved that accessibility by upgrading ramps, markers, and resurfacing the Mayor's Balcony. 21) Provide a brief explanation of the Direct Economic Impact this project will have on the surrounding community. Include any information regarding number of jobs it will provide, if known. This project will generate direct benefits through job creation, the purchase of local goods and services, and by providing a more appealing attraction to tourists and other visitors to the area which includes Dinner Key Marina, the Coconut Grove Convention Center, numerous major hotels, and the nearby Coconut Grove entertainment and shopping district. The City's "First Source Hiring Policy" would enhance the local economic impact, as it encourages contractors to hire from the local workforce with assistance from designated agencies. • 22) SITE SIGNIFICANCE (FOR ALL ACQUISITION & DEVELOPMENT/SPECIAL CATEGORY PROJECTS or PROJECTS WHICH ARE SITE SPECIFIC): a) For Historic Structures and Archaeological Sites, Enter the Florida Master Site File Number: 8Da402 (Attach copy of the Site File Form as Attachment G) b) For Historic Structures, Date.of the Original Construction: 1933 c) For Historic Structures, Date(s) and Description of Major Alterations 1951, 1958 d) Original Use of Historic Structure: Seaplane Terminal e) Current Use of Historic Structure: City Hall f) Proposed Use of Historic Structure: City Hall g) For Archaeological Sites, Provide the Cultural Affiliation of the Site and Dates of Use or Occupation h) Provide a statement of significance for the property/site: The Pan American Seaplane Base and Terminal Building at Dinner Key is significant both in the history of modern air transportation and as an outstanding example of air terminal design. The Dinner Key base was the nation's busiest commercial seaplane terminal during the 1930's. Often described as the "Air Gateway Between the Americas", the base linked the United States with Latin America by way of air transportation, opening up major trade and passenger routes. The terminal building was designed in the Streamline Moderne architectural style, considered especially appropriate for air terminals and other structures relating to high-speed travel. At the time of its construction, the terminal was the largest and most modern marine air terminal in the world. Said to be one of the best planned terminal buildings constructed for either land or marine airports, it was noted for its innovative layout plan for traffic handling and for its scientific design. This design allowed for the simultaneous handling of four airliners, a feature not previously found in air terminals.
