Gulf Hotel: 1939
The Gulf Hotel building (and lighthouse) at 1315 Fifth Street.
April 1939. "Even the gas stations in Miami Beach are on an elaborate scale, often modern design, resembling hotels." Composite of two photos by Marion Post Wolcott for the Farm Security Administration. View full size.

Thank you for all of the wonderful pictures of this hotel/ gas station.

Where was Starbucks when you NEEDED them?
