Nine ways Miami reinvented itself from the 1950s to 2025
South Florida Nine ways Miami reinvented itself from the 1950s to 2025 Miami has changed in many ways since the 1950s. Iconic spots like the Fontainebleau hotel have evolved, with new towers and event spaces added over time, while still preserving famous MiMo designs. Neighborhoods such as Little Havana transformed as new communities moved in. Popular districts like Mid-Beach and the 79th Street corridor shifted from old-fashioned stores and theaters to modern boutiques and business centers. Even legendary nightlife locations and historic landmarks, from the Latin Quarter club to the Lincoln Theatre, have been reinvented or replaced, reflecting South Florida's ongoing transformation. Take a look at the photos. The Fontainebleau Hotel rises at the former Firestone Estate, Miami Beach. In 1954 photo, the old Harvey Firestone home is still standing in the shadow of the new $14 million building.
