Back in the early 1980's hotels were badly run down, catering mostly to retirees fixed incomes. The entire area had a decidedly depressed feel. But a group of visionaries saw this real estate as architecturally significant and worth protecting from mindless urban renewal. Even then, the buildings of South Beach had the unique art deco style from the 1920's to the 1950's. Preservationists and investors started restoring the interiors and exteriors of classic South Beach buildings. The area is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places with 800 buildings.
In 1960 architect Morris Lapidus redesigned Lincoln road as one of the nation´s first pedestrian malls. After several economic slumps, restoration efforts in the 1980's began to revive it. Now houses and popular restaurants and jazz bar have been beautifully restored. Fashion photographers, music video producers and movie directors took note of the location and began shooting. As South Beach gained exposure, celebrities such as singer Gloria Estefan, designer Gianni Versace and others bought a piece of action.
Beautiful people pose in hotel lounges and side walk cafes and visitors flock to see the action. If Ocean Drive is the heartbeat of South Beach, Lincoln Road has become its soul.
