Title: Collins Avenue looking South from 36th Street, Miami Beach, Florida

Summary: Colorful flowers and automobiles beautify the avenue on a sunny day. The 13-storey Versailles (later the Versailles Hotel Condominiums), at 3425 Collins Avenue, was built in 1940. The Robert Richter Hotel, at 34th Street on the ocean, billed itself as "The Aristocrat of Miami Beach"; it was built in 1926. The Saxony, a 14-floor high-rise at 3201 Collins, was built by architect Roy F. France in 1948. The Sea Isle was also built by France, in 1941, in the Streamline style. The Claridge, at 3500 Collins, is a boutique hotel across the street from the Atlantic Ocean. After being restored to the canary-yellow glory of the 1928 original, in a Mediterranean colonial style, the Claridge won the "City of Miami Beach Beautification Award" in 2000 and the Miami Design Preservation League Restoration Award in 2001.
