"SAVE MY LITTLE HAVANA" HONORS HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD'S RICH ARCHITECTURAL LEGACY

ON DISPLAY AT THE ART DECO MUSEUM, STEVE WRIGHT'S PHOTOS SHOWCASE LITTLE HAVANA'S BEAUTY AND WONDER HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT

"Save My Little Havana" serves as a full-circle moment for writer-photographer Steve Wright, a native of Ohio who became a Miamian in 2000 after experiencing a Miami Design Preservation League guided tour and falling in love with the Magic City's rich architectural history.

Wright encourages all who visit the exhibition to consider the mutually beneficial relationship we could each have with our city's historic buildings.

"Nowadays, you get one or two stories of parking decks that are not pretty.

You get cookie-cutter units and usually don't get the prettier finishes.

I'm not saying all zoning should be capped at three stories; I'm just saying, make room for the historic.

Make room for the authentic in your life," Writer-photographer Steve Wright says.

"I do feel like our lives are richer for gorgeous buildings."
