Opa-locka Thematic Resource Area
Opa-locka Thematic Resource Area, Moorish Revival architectural ensemble in Opa-locka, Florida, US
The Opa-locka Thematic Resource Area contains twenty historic buildings featuring onion-shaped domes, minarets, crenelated parapets, and intricate mosaic tile decorations.
Aviation pioneer Glenn Hammond Curtiss established this planned community in 1926, hiring architect Bernhardt E. Muller to design 86 buildings in Moorish Revival style.
The streets received names inspired by Arabian literature, including Ali Baba Avenue, Sharazad Avenue, Caliph Street, and Sinbad Avenue, reflecting the development's theme.
The Administration Building, which served as City Hall, stands as the central structure of the historic district and remains accessible for architectural appreciation.
The 1926 Miami hurricane destroyed numerous original structures, leaving only twenty buildings that received National Register of Historic Places designation.
