"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

Included among the scenes of "Save My Little Havana" are images of the Eileen, a century-old building at 1401 SW Fifth St. that was rehabilitated into a set of four apartments by the Dade Heritage Trust in 2021, with funds approved by the Miami-Dade commissioners through the Department of Public Housing and Community Development's Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing Preservation Rehabilitation Loan Program.

With the inclusion of Little Havana on the National Trust for Historic Preservation's list of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places, it's become increasingly clear to Miami's lawmakers and citizens alike that Little Havana's historic buildings have staying power.
