Historic Deauville Hotel In Miami Beach Demolition, Cleanup Ongoing

The hotel fell after a set of explosions set odd, that send a large dust cloud, it was 17 story high and JFK spoke there.

The 17-story Deauville Hotel fell into itself after a series of explosions were set off, sending up a large cloud of dust. The hotel was built in 1957 and Kennedy spoke there to the Young Democrats Convention in 1961.

Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, a billionaire New York developer, wanted to buy the property and build a 350-foot-tall hotel and condo tower, but that plan is in limbo. The area has a 200-foot height limit and a city ballot measure that would have allowed the construction failed Tuesday.


City officials say Ross may still be interested in purchasing the lot if an alternate plan can be worked out.
