Accessibility in this historic building is not feasible while maintaining its significant features. It is a contributing example of Mediterranean Revival in the City of Miami Beach and Ocean Beach Historic District. any elevator, lift and/or ramp system to access the ground floor retail of the historic buildings would completely destroy the historic integrity of the buildings by obscuring and requiring irreparable changes. Please see Grounds for Waiver.
