This photo of the Curtiss Bright Administration Building located at what is now the northwest corner of Hook Square and Canal St in Miami Springs was taken during the flood of 1927. It was shot from the Hialeah side of the Miami canal and makes administration building look like it’s on lakefront property. During the demolition of the Circle Theater in 2019 it was discovered that the adjacent theater office was actually part of that original Curtiss Bright Administration Building. Blocks from this building are now on display in our East Drive and Senior Center museums. Glenn Curtiss’s Country Club Hotel under construction (now Miami Springs Nursing and Rehab Center) can be seen on the left in the photo.
