WE SUPPORT HISTORICAL DESIGNATION FOR PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

A PORTION OF CHURCH AND ADJOINING BUILDINGS COULD BE 
RE-PURPOSED AS INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY CENTER FOR ALL ON CALLE OCHO




Residents of the Shenandoah neighborhood in the City of Miami are petitioning the Mayor, City Commissioners, City Manager, Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board, and Historic and Environmental Preservation  Board to approve the former Shenandoah Presbyterian Church, located at 2150 SW 8 Street, for designation as an historic building.

I signed because Little Havana is one of the great neighborhoods in America and Calle Ocho has the potential to be one of the best main streets in the region. 

Highway-like traffic and demolitions to make way for bland buildings have gutted too much of SW 8th Street as it is. 


Preserving this historic church provides an opportunity to invest in the community's soul -- not just an investor's bottom line. 

The petition is at:
