描述

**Security Building** **Art by:** Chris Hytha **Story by:** Mark Houser In a city full of bold architectural statements, this highrise stands out with its French-styled copper mansard roof. It was erected during a 1920s construction boom as the headquarters of Dade County Security Company, a mutual building and loan association. Founder Frederick Morse was an early settler in south Florida, having arrived in 1880 from Boston in search of a climate more amenable to his frail constitution. He took a job with the Florida East Coast Railway when it was extending its line south, and became president of the first city council in Miami after its 1896 incorporation. When the financial institution was ready to expand, the board chose the vice president's cousin, New York architect Robert Greenfield, to design its skyscraper. Greenfield soon secured further commissions in town, leading him to open a new office in Miami. A series of banks succeeded the original owners, triggering building name changes from Pan American to Metropolitan to Capital. The granite and terracotta office tower was briefly the Miami hub of WeWork before the coworking space provider's death spiral. Its two-story banking hall has been thoroughly gutted and stripped down to the ductwork in an industrial chic makeover.
