Fuller\, Schultze & Weaver\, architects known for their Mediterranean Revival style and notable hotels: the Biltmore in Coral Gables\, the Breakers in Palm Beach\, and the Waldorf Astoria in New York. \nStriking in its architectural detail and richly ornamented façade\, the Freedom Tower reaches 17 stories and contains over 82\,000 square feet of space. The tower was modeled after the Giralda Cathedral Bell Tower in Seville\, Spain. The use of Spanish and Italian architectural details with Moorish ornamental embellishments can be seen throughout the building. Some highlights to note are the oak main doors\, a cast iron decorative transom\, wrought iron balconies\, Corinthian capitals\, groined ceilings\, cast concrete cherubs\, and the spectacular octagonal cupola topped by a weather vane featuring a Spanish galleon that extends the tower’s height to 255 feet. \nThe building sat vacant from 1957 to 1962 when the U. S. government leased it and transformed the building into the Freedom Tower\, opening the Cuban Assistance Center under the Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 1962 during the Cold War period to assist the large number of Cubans fleeing to the U.S. for political asylum. The Freedom Tower\, also known as the “Ellis Island of the South” provided health\, housing\, and educational assistance to ensure the Cuban exiles could successfully resettle and start new lives in the U.S. from 1962-1974. The Freedom Tower was later donated to the Miami Dade College in 2005. \nHere’s how it works: \n\nSelect an image or visit the location if possible for a Plein Air sketch\nUsing any medium you like\, sketch or paint one or more images/views.\nSnap a photo of your illustration and post it to your Instagram account or email to director@flclassicist.org with the following tags BY SUNDAY\, AUGUST 23 at midnight:\n\n@icaaflorida #floridasummersketchtour #icaaflorida \nWe’ll be searching for those tags and may feature your #floridasummersketchtour image on our Instagram page on Monday! \nEnds Sunday\, August 23th at midnight.\n  \nREFERENCE IMAGES  \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Donate to ICAA Florida Chapter \n Donate \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Suggested Donation to Chapter \n Donate \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Donate to ICAA Florida Chapter \n Donate \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n $ Donation Amount:\n \n \n \n $50.00$100.00$250.00$500.00$1\,000.00$5\,000.00$10\,000.00Custom Amount \n \n Plus an additional to cover gateway fees.\n \n \n \n Select Payment Method \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Credit Card\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n Personal Info \n\n \n \n Title \n \n Mr.\n Mrs.\n Ms.\n \n \n \n \n \n First Name *\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Last Name *\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n Company Name *\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Email Address *\n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n Make this an anonymous donation. \n \n \n \n \n \n Comment \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n Credit Card Info\n \n \n \n This is a secure SSL encrypted payment. \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Donation Total: \n \n $50.00 \n \n {amount} donation plus {fee_amount} to help cover fees. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n Donate Now\n \n \n\n \nTake a look at the latest IG Summer Sketch entries\n#floridasummersketchtour \n \n This error message is only visible to WordPress admins\n Error: No connected account.\n Please go to the Instagram Feed settings page to connect an account.
