Lots to see in this 1925 postcard with a view of Hialeah from the roof of the newly constructed Curtiss Bright Administration Building in Country Club Estates (Miami Springs). In the scene is a Model T Ford on Canal St in the foreground and a beautiful circular flower bed on the Miami Canal bank. Cars are waiting for the newly completed Warren Pony Swing Bridge to rotate so they can cross the canal. On the Hialeah side you can see the dome on the top of the bridge tender’s cabin, several cars parked at RG Millard’s Cash Store, and a wooded Triangle Park, then called Grethen Park at the corner of County Rd(Okeechobee Rd) & Palm Ave. In the distance is the Spanish Ball (Jai Alai) Fronton, the Hialeah Greyhound Track and the just opened Miami Jockey Club(Hialeah Race Track).
