Notes

Scope and Content:
Original Colonnade building designed by architects Phineas Paist, Walter De Garmo, and Paul Chalfin is located at 133-169 Miracle Mile on the northeast corner of Ponce De Leon Boulevard. It was built in 1926 and was initially constructed for use as George Merrick's Coral Gables Corporation sales office. When the real estate market collapsed in 1927, the building was substantially complete, and tenants continued to occupy the space. In 1987, the historic portion of the building was rehabilitated, and a high-rise addition was added to encompass the block of Aragon Avenue. The stately columned arcade gave the building its original name and is now known as the Colonnade Hotel and Office Building.
