Built in 1925 in the Art Deco style, it first served as a newspaper headquarters and later became a processing center for more than 500,000 Cuban exiles in 1962, earning the nickname 'Freedom Tower' as a symbol of hope and immigration. Today it hosts exhibitions on Cuban American history at HistoryMiami Museum.
