Overview: Historic Shenandoah: Rediscovering Miami's Neighborhoods
Volume 1: Main Report
Miami is best known for its beaches, tropical scenery, skyscrapers, and luxury condominiums. Although Miami is one of the nation's youngest metropolises, it has experienced tremendous growth due to land speculation, government policy, and immigration. Despite Miami's significance as an international city, little has been written about how its neighborhoods have evolved and adapted to these changes, slowly changing and sometimes completely reinventing themselves. This series of books are a testament to Miamians' resilience and adaptability through an in-depth look at the City's neighborhoods, residents that lived in them, and the events that shaped them.
Shenandoah is a neighborhood at the heart of Miami. It is geographically central and importantly, it is high and dry on a ridge. It is a great example of today's inner-city neighborhoods that began as suburbs of Downtown Miami along the famous SW 8th Street, also known as Tamiami Trail or Calle Ocho. It is a neighborhood with a demographically diverse history, home to many religions, ethnicities, languages, and economic statuses, with a mix of apartment buildings, duplexes, houses, and garage apartments, all arranged together in harmonious streetscapes. Shenandoah's architecture is a great example of early climate adaptation with large porches and windows that allow for cross breezes and natural lighting. It is fanciful with arches, elaborate chimneys, clay tiles roofs, and textured coral rock. For many residents, it reminds them of places they grew up, from old Cuba to the Midwest. It is an amalgamation of memories carefully orchestrated to fit harmoniously in a tropical setting.
