Lummus Park Historic District

While Miami Beach’s Lummus Park tends to be the one that comes to mind, there happens to be another Lummus Park: in downtown Miami. The Lummus Park Historic District or simply Lummus Park, is on the National Register of Historic Places and a locally historic designated district in Miami, Florida. It is roughly bound by Northwest Fifth Street to the north, Flagler Street to the south, Northwest Third Avenue to the east, and the Miami River to the west. On October 25, 2006, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The Lummus Park has some of the oldest structures in Miami, and over the decades, has been able to retain a large part of its early pioneer character.

Built in 1909, the park continues to provide a glimpse into Miami’s early years as a pioneering city in the South. The majority of the buildings surrounding the park were built prior to 1926, and their architecture is unique in its construction and diverse in style, from the militant native limestone of Fort Dallas to the Masonic columns of the Scottish Rite Temple. Stroll the historic promenade with a direct view of the Miami River and find yourself transported back in time. It opens daily sunrise to sunset.
