Topical Currents

Dade Heritage Trust

(10-26-2016) Today’s Topical Currents looks at the Dade Heritage Trust . . . South Florida’s largest historic preservation organization.

Founded in 1972, the Trust has been instrumental in numerous campaigns to save not only historic buildings, but the rich culture of the area.

It’s housed in the original 1905 office building of Dr. James Jackson, the namesake of the midtown hospital complex.

We learn much more about what important buildings are targeted for preservation.
