Aviation Building, Historical aviation center in Miami, United States.
The Aviation Building housed multiple aviation facilities, including classrooms, workshops, military barracks, a cafeteria, library, and medical clinic in Miami, Florida.
The structure began construction in 1925 as the Fritz Hotel, but the Great Depression halted its completion, leading to its transformation into an aviation facility.
The building served as headquarters for the Embry-Riddle School of Aviation, contributing to the education of numerous pilots and aviation professionals in Florida.
The National Weather Service Forecast Office of Miami operated from the building starting June 1958, with a WSR-57 network radar installed on the roof.
The structure earned the nickname 'Million Dollar Hen House' during a period when part of the incomplete building housed chickens.
