Description:
The
Seymour, located on 945 Pennsylvania Avenue, Miami Beach, Florida,
was designed by architect B. Kingston Hall and built in 1936 as a

architecture, in the style that became known as Tropical Art Deco.
The façade and lobby, which retain their original features, are
distinguished by bold horizontal and vertical elements and extensive
use of the ziggurat motif. The Seymour is one of over 800 buildings
from the early 20th century that comprise the Miami Beach
Architectural District, which was added to the National Register of
Historic Places in 1979.
