Dade County Courthouse
United States / Miami, Florida
Location ID: #10000019
For many years the Dade County Courthouse, at an elevation of 360 feet, was reputed to be the tallest building south of Baltimore. It was the County's first high-rise and is in the National Register of Historic Places. Efforts to refurbish this magnificent structure and restore it to its original grandeur have been underway since 1981.
Today, the Dade County Courthouse, provides offices, chambers and courtrooms for the clerks and judiciary assigned to the Circuit and County Civil Court and the Family Court. The Courthouse, once the hope for a grand future, now simply stands as a memory of a grand and hopeful past.
