Brickell Mausoleum

The Brickell Mausoleum is a granite structure located at 501 Brickell Avenue situated within a park setting. The site contains archaeological evidence of earlier periods alongside contemporary urban development.

The structure was built in 1924 and honors a family who began trading in the region in the late 1800s. It marks a significant point in Miami's early development.

The site blends Native American heritage with early 20th century Miami architecture, creating a space where different historical layers coexist. Visitors can sense how the location bridges indigenous traditions and the city's founding era.

Visitors can access the site through Brickell Park during daylight hours for the best viewing experience. The location is easiest to explore on foot, allowing you to see both the structure and surroundings.

Though built as a burial structure, the mausoleum was never actually used for that purpose as the family chose burial elsewhere. This makes it a memorial standing without its intended function, which gives it unusual historical significance.
