Downtown Miami Historic District, Historic district in Downtown Miami, United States.

Downtown Miami Historic District covers about 38 acres in Miami's central business district, bounded roughly by Miami Court, North Third Street, West Third Avenue and South Second Street. Its 112 buildings, 73 of them historic, were built mainly between 1903 and 1955, mostly during the 1920s land boom, in styles from Masonry Vernacular to Mediterranean Revival and Art Moderne. Only 19 rise above six storeys; most are small and sit close to the sidewalk.

The district grew rapidly as Miami transformed from a small settlement into an established city. Its 2005 listing on the National Register of Historic Places recognized this role in the city's rise.

The district's name comes from its position in Miami's central business district, and its streets still serve commerce. Of the 112 buildings, 73 are historic and 39 are not; most are commercial, with a few multi-family residences and one church. Sidewalk canopies and awnings shade pedestrians, and lamp posts are mostly standard concrete and metal, with occasional ornamental cast-iron lights.

The district is easy to explore, with several Metrorail stations offering access. Flat streets make it simple to walk around and view the buildings at your own pace.

Some of the buildings display Art Deco features, a style that became popular in Miami. These details on the facades and entrances stand out as you walk slowly through the streets.
