Photos of the day - Wanna buy a courthouse?
Wanna buy a courthouse? Be the first to privatize the Civil
court system. Turnkey ready. Historic elevator doors. Mold and prone to basement flooding.
What a way to go – a FOR SALE sign on the steps. Usually
other properties are “sold on the courthouse steps.” Appreciate the irony.
This is the current Miami-Dade County Courthouse, formerly
known as the Dade County Courthouse. The
building is a historic courthouse and “skyscraper” (for its time) located at 73
West Flagler Street in Miami, Florida. This building was added to the U.S.
National Register of Historic Places on January 4, 1989.
It was constructed over four years (1925–28). The building is 361 feet tall with 28 floors (give or take, based upon any undocumented settlement). This building was once famous for the seasonable buzzards. The Courthouse was the tallest building in both the city of Miami and state of Florida in its heyday.
A new courthouse is nearly completed nearby. It is time to
offload this building. I’m sure this
will be an “as is” sale.
Just for fun - I like to take "Bike Leaning Against --- " photos. Here are two from a May 2023 ride from home in Palmetto Bay to downtown Miami and back. A great ride by the way.
