Notes

Scope and Content:
Dennis is from Cincinnati, which was center of the Arts and Crafts movement, which he collected. He then got interested in Art Deco objects. By the time he moved to Miami, he had 5,000 pieces of Fiesta ware [dishes popular during the 30's and 40's]. He saw an ad in the Miami Herald about preserving the Art Deco in Miami Beach. A professor in college had rallied everyone around preserving the Art Deco railroad terminal in Cincinnati.
